Rob Zombie - Halloween! - Blu-ray Forum

i tend to not be impressed when things are, redone, but this movie was great. i mean, seeing what Michael's life was like as a kid, is genius. i really don't like a lot of the horror movies that come out these days, either. this was a damn good movie. will it go Blu?

There are no reports yet but we all know for sure that it will be on blu-ray someday. I did enjoy Rob Zombie's version of Halloween better than the original by John Carpenter because it went into more detail (Like you mentioned) and more violence to get the audience' attention.

Weinstein is supposed to go Blu in the second half of this year. I wouldn't be surprised to see this released in October.

It was an ok movie. Alot of gross parts. I couldn't even stand watching myers beat the hell out of that kid w/ a tree limb. I wanted to throw up when i saw that crap.

Panos · 05-20-2008, 03:02 PM

I remember seeing a preview for future blu-ray releases a while back (before it was even released on DVD) and it showed clips of Rob Zombies Halloween. I figured it would have been released at the same time with the DVD version. I went to the store hoping to buy it on Blu, but it wasn't available...someday, i'm sure.

That would be assuming that Weinstein has people working for them that aren't retards.

A movie called Hallowe'en released in what was it? July? on video December?

You're expecting the bullshit in their heads they call brains to have even more than one ion to rub together to get enough brain power underway that they'd release it in October?

You, my friend, are reaching for the stars.

i personally enjoyed this movie and i think the problem people have is that they compare it to the original when they shouldn't...........they should be viewed separately and then i believe you will gain a lot more appreciation for zombies take on the story...............it was not suppose to be a remake of halloween but a re imaging.........meaning a different take on a story and characters you know.......this is where i think people got lost or confused..........zombie didn't want to remake halloween the way carpenter did because there was no way to surpass it...........he wanted to take carpenters story and characters and add different elements to make it his own and i believe he did a hell of a job

*gasp*

Blasphemy!!

Seriously, I have to agree with you. JC's version was a great movie, but I believe that Zombie added a little bit more *umpf* in the violence and a far better developed back story than the original.

I hope that when they do release this, it will have the option for BOTH versions. I did not care for the unrated version as far as Michael's escape from the sanitarium is concered. I liked the theatrical version far better.

This movie sucked. If you are into gore check out the Guinea Pig movies. They have more substance and better acting.

Thats too funny... I doubt many on here will know what you are talking about, but Halloween is'nt even in the same class as the Guinea Pig series...
Now the acting in those was believable but really how much acting is involved in being killed on film?

I enjoyed the Halloween remake just as I enjoyed House of 1000 Corpses and The Devils Rejects..... hope it comes to blu soon.... glad I held off on the dvd...

i just checked, guinea pig films, on wikipedia. sounds interesting, where can i purchase these films.

househead · 05-20-2008, 04:18 PM

yeah I'm a little harsh on Rob Zombie. I just expected more.

I think I bought one of the Guinea Pig films on Amazon. And I think I rented a few via Netflix. Just a warning though, they are really only good for "shock value". Rent 'em if you can.

RickVDaDon · 05-20-2008, 09:29 PM

I thought this movie would be terrible but I have no complaints, I find it to be pretty good. I like the fact that they showed him as a kid, and I loved how he killed his step father, that guy treated him like crap..lol

Leon · 05-21-2008, 11:38 PM

Release this on blu-ray now ! We need every horror movie on blu-ray.

The first part of this movie when the dude was a kid and all was grrrrreat

Frank White · 05-21-2008, 11:46 PM

the first halloween was a classic that didnt need to be remade. rob zombie's halloween sucked a lot. they showed him as a kid for like 30-40 mins. i was like damn, when are we gonna get to the real shyt haha

Zyclone · 05-21-2008, 11:53 PM

what was so great about Mikey was that he was a average kid from a middle/upper class neighbourhood that one day snapped what was scary we never knew why

Sorry Zombie but having a fat little annoying red neck get bullied then turn into a serial killer might make a good slasher film but not a good halloween. yeah and i also love how he's sitting in room barely moving for what 10 something years but now he's nearly 7 foot tall and has some how being hitting the gym?

and a rape scene for no reason, boring characters in the last half of the movie and making it so dark i can't tell whats going bravo rob bravo.
