First, I'm a horror fan, and slasher films are my weakness (like sex, even when its bad, its still pretty good). That said, I'm sick to death of the horror remake.

Now, when I see the word MOVIES used in these posts (i.e. RZ's Halloween MOVIES are way better, or the original MOVIES are better....), I can't help but chuckle. Save for the the original Halloween (which, while everyone is certainly entitled to there opinions, is widely considered a classic), arguing over which is better is kinda like arguing who's the smartest person between a group of ppl w/ single digit IQs, no matter who wins, they're all morons. Now, I love slasher movies, but I'd hardly call them good. I view them in the same way others can sit through summer action movies, they're dumb fun. So when I see post arguing about how this or that is stupid/doesn't make sense/etc., etc., it's truly maddening.

Now, should RZ keep making films? Well, by my avatar, I'm sure you can guess where I come down on this. I'll say this, yes he should, but he definitely lost some of his mojo since The Devil's Rejects, and he really needs to stop putting Sheri Moon Zombie in everything he makes (if he had scrapped the 30 mins or so in H2 that she's in, I think it would have been a better film).

Lastly, while I liked the TCM remake, the best remake tag belongs to Dawn of The Dead (but niether are better than the originals, and I've yet to meet anyone born before 1985 who disagrees).

Devils Rejects was like the Key Lime Pie, that we needed to save the horror films.. back then.

a masterpiece
