Hated this in theaters. Might be better with the Director's Cut.

Sony's distributing it?

The Unrated Version is Rob Zombie's real Director's Cut. He recorded a commentary track for it some weeks ago and he put the DC together himself. Allegedly it is 127 minutes long.

 I learnt my lesson the first time around.

I might pick up the BD if both the theatrical and unrated cuts are included. I don't want to take any chances with the director's cut like with RZ's director's cut of Halloween on BD. I liked the film, but I couldn't get over the bad acting. Although I'm disappointed that the only separate extra we get from the theatrical cut is just an audio commentary.  While it's more, I suspected something of the lines of an additional documentary. Speaking of documentaries, where is the 8 hour documentary Zombie promised would be on the DVD/BD?

What, no 2/3-disk editions like the first one?

That's right. They sold the homevideo rights to Sony.

This and "Saw VI" vie for the Worst Movie of the Year Award. It's sickening how Zombie singlehandedly ran the franchise into the ground with this one. This is no Halloween movie, but a RZ movie with the "Halloween" title on it.

Thank God Dimension had the sense to move on to someone else. Patrick Lussier is far more talented and knows a thing or two about the Halloween franchise.

i saw it in the theater, it was alright,  a hell of alot better than final destination 3-d  but in terms of buying it i will pass

Taylor Scout Compton = Day 1 Purchase. Thought she was great in both films.

I enjoyed the first remake, still not sure of my full opinion on the second film. I need to rewatch it. It had some odd moments in it. Brad Dourif gave a good performance aswell I thought.

Yes! FINALLY! I was waiting forever! Now I could have my DC copy on January 12th.

YES! DEFINITE first day Unrated DVD purchase for me

Rob Zombie's Halloween in 2007 was better than any of the originals, and this sequel ruled too

"Write what you know, kid."
-- Jesus to the Apostle Paul

And with those words and looking at Rob Zombie's track record, we can guess that the only thing he knows is white trash sleaze and how best to permeate American life with it. These movies didn't deserve to be made. The 1978 version was excellent without being gory or obscene, and that is what these remakes are. There's nothing good or redeeming about either of these "re-imaginings" or these "terrifying new visions". I close with a quote from, oddly enough, a sequel that looks like "Citizen Kane" compared to the Rob Zombie "Halloween" movies:

"Some folks sure got a strange idea of entertainment."

Tsk-tsk. Teenagers. And this is coming from a teenager.

I'm not a teenager you tool. His remake in 07 kicked the s**t out of every original that came before it

And H2 was kick ass as well you bland cake

Unlike the "Friday the 13th" remake (which die-hard Jason fans needlessly b***hed about), Rob Zombie stripped everything that made Michael Myers who he is and pissed on it... especially in the sequel.

WRONG! Rob's remake in 07 was WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY better than all of the previous Halloween movies. I've seen them all countless times and 2007's remake was the best bar none. Nuf said, I win

Terrible movie! I hate how rob turned this into.. well one of his cliche trashy horror movies about bad families and rednecks. I didn't mind it too much when it's his own movie, but when he moves into a classic and throws the entire point of the original out the window, that's when it sucks. And to think they are letting him remake The Blob too. Will the blob somehow be demonic? Will it take place in the south? Will the blob have some redneck family and alcoholic parents? With Zombie directing, I would count on it! Those who say this is in any way better then the original, I just will never understand. Zombie's remakes really have nothing to do with the idea of the first, at all. That's not opinion, (My opinion was that it sucked), it's really just how it is. My guess is he really didn't understand the original concept.
