Halloween II (2009)
The New King of Horror is Rob Zombie!
Now I have to be honest, I didn't expect the best when I heard that Rob Zombie was getting into making horror movies. I figured they wouldn't be clever, and would make money based on his name recognition meaning not much substance would have to go into making them. Well my friends, every movie is the way horror movies should be for my taste.
A lot of negativity has surrounded Halloween 2 and people need to remember that this is 1. a horror movie and not a slasher, 2. it's not just a remake but Zombie's take on the Halloween story, and 3. watch Halloween before passing judgement on Halloween 2.
This movie is horror at its finest and is a perfect transition from the first. It's not for the weak and for those that love horror and appreciate slasher.
Anyway, I hope Rob Zombie makes many more movies as I find his style perfect. As Stephen King said about Clive Barker "I have seen the new face of horror and that is Rob Zombie!"
Blood River (2009)
It's OK
I was definitely let down by this film. This is partly my fault for having high expectations due to someone else's post.
The acting is decent enough to carry the film but I was longing for it to end. Was too unbelievable and predictable. The overall plot is a good premise but failed to execute. I was left watching the credits wondering why I watched this movie in its entirety. My only explanation is that I was hoping for some salvation at the end and my prayers were not answered.
I know everyone is a critic so if your like me, take the time to watch it but you will have been warned. Others here hype this into more than it is. Makes me wonder what there favorite horror movie is. This is another good B attempt at a good premise.
