    I saw a video of someone asking Brad Dourif at a panel how he emotionally prepared himself for the scene where he discovers Annie’s body. He didn’t say a word, and just pointed to the young woman sitting next to him at the panel. That woman was his daughter Fiona.

    I gotta say, Sherriff Bracket is probably the most sympathetic character in the films. Dourif's acting always on point. But I like in the sequel, he seems like another father to Laurie. He genuinely cared about what happened to her & resents Loomis revealing her secrets & continuing to traumatize her just to make money. Even after his own daughter is murdered, he goes after Michael (surely to avenge Annie) but also to save Laurie. But Laurie is gunned down, which basically causes him to lose 2 daughters in 1 night.

    I have PTSD from trauma throughout my life and all I have to say is this, Laurie was super shitty to Annie at the dinner table even with the excuse of PTSD. They both went through almost the exact same experience and one of them came out with PTSD. That’s how it works. People’s minds process things differently and even the most minuscule details of an experience can change the effect it has on the other person. What happened that night was arguably worse for Annie, and it’s more than physically visible on Annie’s face. Permanent gashes/scars representing what happened to her that night. She tried to say something nice, supportive, and encouraging and Laurie went off on her. Even if someone said something to me that wasn’t helping but they were truly trying AND they went through such a similar experience to the one I went through I would just be thankful. Laurie can just look at Annie’s face to see what she has to live with everyday. Their trauma was literally intertwined and Laurie still couldn’t see that. Also in the Director’s Cut she’s just shitty to her all the time anyway. Laurie just kind of sucks in the Director’s Cut.

      I agree! It made me hate Laurie in this movie. I felt so bad for Annie throughout the entire thing cause she was dealing with the exact same thing (up until Laurie finds out she is Michael’s sister). They handled it differently and both ways are realistic, sadly. People process trauma in so many different ways. It doesn’t make it right how Laurie treated Annie though. She only began to care about her well-being once she realized she could be hurt while Annie showed her compassion for Laurie from the beginning. 😩

    I don't really like that Directors Cut ending. I don't like Michael talking, I don't like Michael without the mask, and I don't like him dying to a bunch of cops as opposed to the hands of Laurie. I think pairing the mental trouble of the directors cut with the psychotic killing ending of the theatrical cut for Laurie would have been more impactful, plus it makes the last asylum scene make a bit more sense.

    • @owen______
      @owen______ 2 года назад +4

      I agree a little, but it is necessary for Laurie's arc that she be killed by the cops. And I think its fine for Micheal to speak to Loomis because that is a good payoff for when he stopped talking to Loomis in the first film.

    I don’t necessarily like the parts where he shows his face, but I do like the angry grunting noises he makes because to me it makes it more scary. Because it shows just how pissed off and insane that he is and he’s pretty much just giving off “I am going to fucking brutally kill you and there’s nothing you can do about it” energy. The silent but deadly Myers might be more scarier for some people, but for me it’s a lot scarier when he shows his anger.

      The only thing I disagree with is the second rule. We saw a glimpse of Michael's face in the original, when he was portrayed by a different actor. Given that, I would technically count that as having his face shown, even if it was in shadows. I'm sure with enough editing, you could brighten the scene enough to make it out clearly. If you have the right circumstance, I'm sure it could be just as scary or creepy. Admittedly, it works better WITH the mask and not without, but yeah.

    Rob Zombie's a strange director. For every stupid, poor-taste, highly-questionable bad decision he makes in his movies (naked dead girls, overly profane dialogue, unlikable over the top characters), he also does something really cool and interesting (that sound cutout in the Director's Cut climax here, the absolute size of Mikey Myers, the exploration of a Final Girl's ptsd). Every time he starts to lose me in his earlier films, he does something that pulls me back in. I guess that's why I can't bring myself to dislike him as a director: love it or hate it, he knows exactly what he wants to put on the screen and exactly how to put it there.

      But the thing is the good stuff he does is so small compared to the bad stuff. Tha cutout during the climax is cool and his Michael Myers is a beast, yes, but that doesn't even balance out with the bad stuff.
      Also, his fascination with sexual violence is so off putting to me. I dont know. He makes his films for himself and his fans, but that kind of seems to blind him almost.

    Is it me, or does the director's cut stuff with Laurie fit the theatrical ending much more? Foreshadowing her being like Michael is kind of pointless when she never ends up becoming like Michael at all and then gets gunned down. It would be one thing if the final vision implied that she survived and is now driven to kill by her mother and the white horse, but I think Rob Zombie confirmed that she died and even did that ending just so that this series would no longer continue. It's an unnecessarily confusing final note that works better with the theatrical cut's prelude of her walking out in the Myers mask.

    I know some people love the Zombie Halloween movies so I don't wanna shit on them too hard, but I genuinely think they're some of the worst films I've ever seen, 2 especially. On almost every level they're fairly poorly made IMO, from editing to cinematography to sound design. I'd be able to move past how
    bafflingly mean-spirited and cruel the scripts are as a kind of Rob Zombie trademark if they at least provided some interesting narrative or thematic beats, or some decent character arcs, but I don't see any of that here, and most of all they did absolutely nothing to build on the original, they fundamentally misunderstood what makes the franchise special IMO.
    I guess if I had to give them some props I'd say at least the Michael is pretty intimidating and the mask is rad, but even he seems more like a Jason than a Michael Myers in his mannerisms, he's just a giant strong hilbilly, not a mysterious stealthy menace. The kills are a lot more brutal and impressive, but the original kinda made a point of having fairly understated kills, the violence was never the point. The acting is good I guess- most of the actors do a great job (especially Annie), even if I do *hate* the direction the characters of Laurie and Loomis were taken, they were still well-played.

      The reason Rob Zombie ended it like that is because he wanted to end the story. Telling audiences that there will be no more sequels. So basically Rob Zombie did what Danny McBride is about to do with Michael Myers, since Danny McBride said Michael Myers in the new timeline is mortal, I feel Danny McBride in this new 2018 movie's sequel will kill off Michael Myers by tons of gunshots as well because it's clear Michael Myers in that movie can't take many gunshots either when it's mentioned Sheriff Hawkins (Will Patton) was the first responding officer to capture Michael Myers in 1978 after being shot 6 times by Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) at the end and prevented Dr. Loomis from killing Michael Myers with a few more gunshots and also in the twist when Dr. Sartain and Sheriff Hawkins step out of the Police vehicle Dr. Sartain refuses to let Sheriff Hawkins shoot Michael Myers knocked out body and kills Hawkins this giving us a clear amswer Michael Muers can't receive many gunshots in Halloween 2018, if he does he'll die permanently just like he does at the end of Rob Zombie's Halloween 2.

Her reacting to him eating the dog while she’s eating pizza creeps me out, and it makes so much sense that she sees his visions and becomes plagued by them. I had never considered that she is dead at the end, and although I really like that scene of her in the mask and the subsequent cut to her in the sanitarium, I much prefer she lives in my head canon.

    I've read that there was a lot of Studio Interference and Zombie sees the Theatrical Cut as a Compromise, same with his First Halloween, so that's why the Director's Cut are the widely available versions of the movies.

    You could make more Halloween cut-comparisons with the TV Version of Halloween 1 and 2. The TV Versions of 1 & 2 are available on various official DVD releases. There is also a workprint of Halloween Resurrection (called Halloween Homecoming) . Halloween Homcoming has lots of different stuff including an onscreen Tyra Banks deathscene. IT thin there is also an H20 workprint or TV version oin the bootleg-markets

    Now that this series kill count is done. I would love if you did some one-off kill counts with films like "Tucker and Dale vs Evil" or some more comedic horrors (like ones by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) like "Hot Fuzz" (yes its horror) and "Shaun of the Dead". Just some zombie flicks in general would be really appreciated :)
