Its a horror movie. Very, very rarely do the critics even like, let alone love, horror movies. It is probably best to keep them and their negative thoughts away as long as possible so people on the fense about seeing the film will go before they hear how 'bad' it is.
The preview at Comic-Con looked great. I'm looking forward to it, and *may* even get to see it with a former Michael Myers himself
Don Shanks, he played Myers in Part 5 (which was filmed in Utah, pt 4 too I think). My grandpa knows him through karate, plus he regularly works out at the gym near us. My grandpa even played an extra cop in pt 5, although he is hardly visable, if at all. Anyone remember the yellow Blazer (car) in an alley when one of the girls goes to the gas station and all of the cops pull up? Well, that was my grandpa's car
Like I said, I'm not sure it will happen, but I've talked to my grandpa and he plans on inviting him to the show with us. I told him how funny it would be for him to dress up for the show (he has HIS mask of course). Thought it would be fun to hear what a former Michael has to say on the new film as well as the stories that would certainly come up.
Hope that didn't sound like I was bragging or anything, because I'm not trying to.
OK. The funny thing is about that car is they cut away to it two or three times! And my grandpa just parked in the alley so he would be out of the way.

Seeing a sneak of this on Thursday.
Uh....
... it's not great.
In a nutshell, I was pretty unimpressed and it felt more like a bad sequel than a remake of the original, imho. And Zombie tries way too hard at times to push the envelope and be "extreme" and the result is something that felt like anything but a Michael Myers/HALLOWEEN movie to me.
You heard about the extensive reshoots, lukewarm (at best) early test screenings and the lack of review screenings. Well, let me just say that all of these things are obvious when watching the movie.
