Ok, so its been a while since I updated the site and right as it started taking off.  My apologies but, the ex-gf walked out along with the laptop.  Anyway, I come to you to write about one of the most surprising horror movies I have seen in a long time.  Halloween II.  No not the old one with Jamie Lee Curtis.  You know the new one by Rob Zombie.  Now I must say I am a massive fan of Zombie's white trash brand of horror.  Alot of people hate it but, I find it twisted and brutal fun.  And the Halloween remake?  I loved it.  I gave it 4.5 out of 5 axes.  Yes, I thought it was that good.  It stay close enough to the original but, went far enough beyond to make you go wow.  Somebody finally made Michael Myers brutal, big, and scary.  Not to mention the backstory which I loved.  So you can imagine how fired up I was to see Rob Zombie's follow up.  Let me just say that other than the Friday the 13th reboot this was my next most anticipated film of the year.  Fact is I love slasher flicks.  My Bloody Valentine was pretty damn slick.  Ok.  So.  I'm settled in to the first 20 minutes of this movie and its pretty promising.  The hospital scene was brutal.  The van crash brutal.  So far so good.  Wait.  Sheri Moon Zombie in white with a unicorn?  Wait?  What?  Ok?  I let it slide.  The first time.  But, when I soon learned this was going to be the focus of Michael's rage?  WTF?  This became some cruel joke rip off of Jason Voorhees' vengence only with a unicorn?  Are you shitting me?  And Dr. Loomis?  Really?  Why did McDowell even agree to come back?  They destroyed his character in a part that frankly made him feel like he wasn't even part of this movie until the last 10 minutes and by then the horrible ship had sailed.  I'm floored.  I loved House of 1000 and The Devil's Rejects.  But, this is the vision we had?  For Michael Myers?  Are you kidding?  And you dare go in to the path of the Tommy Jarvis we may make him the killer instead of Jason theme at the end with Laurie?  Oh christ....  I had originally wrote this review on 9/16 however, I felt it important to come back and finish my review.   Now to be honest there was certain parts of this movie that just was not needed.  We would've been better off with a run of the mill slasher flick with Rob Zombie's white trash flair and his famous cameos from various Zombie alums.  Frankly, there was no need to have Sheri Moon Zombie or the kid Myers in this movie it just made the movie seem completely out of left field.  In fact if it would've stuck to the premise of him being a survivor of the wrecked ambulance then ok.  But, the unicorn?  Really?  Maybe if I was tripping acid.  Wait.  Nah it would've still sucked.  And it did seem extremely rushed.  And then ending in the barn was far too quick and corny to have the demise of such a horror legend subject too.  The killing of Myers and Loomis were almost a side note.  Also where was the score?  You know the infamous scary Halloween music.  It showed up at the end after the douche washing was over.  I wish I'd washed my eyes out with Summer's Eve.   Wow.  I couldn't have been more disappointed.  I should've saw The Final Destination.  This movie seemed half assed and rushed.  Badly.  I give it 2.0 axes out of 5.0.  1.0 for the kills.  And 1.0 for the film being in focus.  Yeah it was that bad.  Buy it on video folks.  So you can burn it.
