Halloween the movie

Ok, the Halloween the movie is getting ready to come out, and who isn't excited about seeing this franchise starting back up?

A new vision for a classic. I'll be honest and say that it has been way too long since I have seen the original, but I think it is time for a trip to Blockbuster (or finally convince my wife that we need a basic Netflix subscription) and get a refresher on it.

I have not been impressed by Rob Zombie as a director as he has seemed to just be about blood, guts, and gore in his past few movies. This one finally looks like he has a real vision though. It seems that he is exploring the psycological side of terror more in this film, which makes for a much better, scarier expereince. It has even been said that Zombie does not care for violence in his movies unless it serves a purpose. I guess maybe he was just the director of the other movies and did not have as much of a hand in writing them. It has even been put out there that he was thinking about doing a western next (something has to be done to bring sanity back to the west after Broke Back Mountain, and maybe Zombies just the man).

My wife, son, and I all love scary movies, so I would not be surprised to see us there for Halloween the movie in the opening weekend.
