That's what killed me about the insistence some people have about this version of Michael not being true to the original. _John Carpenter_ himself told Rob Zombie he should make his own version of Michael, not just rehash the character. People saying "I don't like this version" makes sense. People saying "it isn't true to the character" are being pretentious midwits.
I don't know if you mentioned it, Laurie's boss was played by Howard Hesseman best known for playing Dr. Johnny Fever on the old sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati. Hesseman also did another sitcom called Head of the Class and played Capt. Pete Lassard in Police Academy 2.
The first 15 mins of this movie (the hospital scene) is the best directing/filmmaking Rob Zombie's ever done and some of the BEST Halloween footage ever put to film. And as someone who personally survived a murder attempt I can say that this film, for ALL its flaws (which it has a ton) is GREATLY UNDER APPRECATED for the REALISITIC POTRAYL OF PTSD. The girl who plays Laurie gives the most realistic and perfect performance of someone who's haunted by PTSD and what it does to you + what surviving something like that can do to you.
Usually I watch a Halloween movie for Michael Myers, but I have to say, I watch this one for Laurie. The portrayal of her character and trauma is my favorite thing about this movie.
Why do people have such a hard time with someone surviving a gunshot wound to the head? It's happened many, many times. Wenceslao Moguel was an 18 year old kid who got shot nine times in the chest, in addition to one point blank in the head, by professional soldiers. He crawled into the Mexican desert and lived another 61 years. It's not the most outlandish thing to happen even in just that movie.
For me this was murder after murder wasn’t even scary .without the mask just doesn’t even feel like a Halloween movie . I’ll always prefer the originals than the remakes . Great reaction.
It does make more sense that he wouldn't have access to the mask anymore. I do like the first remake. His physicality made him feel like a force of nature instead of a man.
45:40 'This is going to be a hard one to edit.' It's also the toughest one to watch! Not because of you guys but the film itself is just sooooo depressing.
The ending in the theatrical cut is different and way better, in my opinion. In that one, he doesn't unmask himself or speak. He gets sniped by police through a window and falls and gets impaled by a rake. Laurie then stabs him in the face and chest with his own knife multiple times. She then walks out with Michael's mask on her head.
I prefer the unrated director's cut as a hole but as for the ending I like elements of both for example in the theatrical cut i like the way Michael takes out Loomis more than what happens in the director's cut
She's not a ghost. She's Michael's imagination. She doesn't have "her" personality, she has the personality Michael imagines she would. "Young Michael" is how he sees himself, still a child. Together, w/ Angel, they're the family Michael wanted since he was institutionalized. Danny Trejo's character told him he had to learn to live inside his mind. He did.
I always thought of the white horse mama as michaels patronus, it’s an embodiment of his brutal instincts leading him along his path. Gives him more of a supernatural appeal in this film. Though the first one was head and shoulders better.
I've always walked on my toes and never my heels. It's extremely foreign to me to walk heel first. I get teased a lot, but on the plus side, I have killer calves 😆
I remember seeing a reading of the film that Michael died at the end of the first movie and everything we see of him is Laurie's dreams and hallucinations, and she was actually the one killing people. The events of the first movie triggered a psychotic break. iirc Zombie wanted Laurie to be the killer in this movie but the studio wanted brand name recognition, so it could have easily been a stealth way to get what he wanted if that was intended.
I didn't know Zombie wanted to make Laurie the killer, but I love this interpretation whether it was intentionally implied or not. I actually like the first Zombie Halloween a lot, but 2 felt very inconsistent as a follow-up. This interpretation makes a lot more sense.
Did he? I know he wanted a 3rd movie and in it he was gonna have Laurie and Michael break out and help each other. From what I've heard he regretted killing off Michael in his first movie
16:00 I'm glad you guy's enjoyed the opening in the Hospital! Most of us did too. But it is the last time i felt any joy, during this troll of a movie.
Met Danielle Harris and Scout Taylor Compton this past weekend at Scarefest in Lexington Ky. Both are the sweetest of ladies. Hope they come back next year.
This is hands down my favorite Halloween film. I loved how different it is from the other films. It was so interesting seeing Laurie’s psychology and how the aftermath of Michael’s rampage affected her and the whole town of Haddonfield. I feel like how Laurie was (especially in the directors cut) is very realistic to how someone with PTSD from that would cope with it. I think this film is criminally underrated and the best Halloween film.
Theatrical ending is so much better but incredibly hard to find because apparently rob zombie didnt like the ending and gave us this new ending on all produced copies
I actually have the theatrical cut on DVD. I just had to get it cause when I bought the director's cut and saw the different, f---ing horrible ending I was like, "Wait, what the hell is this crap???!!!"
So, on the plus side, there's some really nice cinematography, and great performances from Scout Taylor-Compton, Danielle Harris and Brad Dourif. On the other side, Michael Myers is basically a hobo who hardly wears the mask and yells "DIE!" Of all the things Michael could possibly say, he expresses the one thing we all already knew about him.
The new Blumhouse trilogy people (Blum, Green, Curtis) acted like 1. They were the first to “switch up the formula,” 2. They were the first to depict Haddonfield as a cesspool of bad behavior that helped influence evil, 3. They were the first to show survivor trauma. Halloween in general is less repetitive than many other slasher franchises (Friday, Scream), and quite frankly RZ did all of those things, whether the fanbase likes it or not lol
@@Xehanort10 they drove an innocent man to delete himself, they made Corey’s life hell, that lady brought a clothing iron to the Michael Myers fight…Haddonfield SUCKS.
Dr. Loomis is NOT like Gale. Gale is a true journalist with a first hand eye witness account. Dr. Loomis was Michael's Doctor and is somewhat responsible/culpable for what happened. He was in some way responsible for Michael.
@s_g_101 Dr. Loomis was Michael's psychologist. He thought he failed michael and thus failed the victims of Michael. Michael's lack of rehabilitation was always the crux in loomis' character. Dr. Loomis sought redemption for what he perceived as his failure with Michael. This version was unpopular with fans because Loomis profited off his failures which resulted in deaths of others. Gale on the other hand was a first hand survivor to everything. She even actually saved an innocent man from prison with true journalism.

Love this movie. Rob Zombie was definitely not forced to do this one. He initially passed but they were going to continue without him, and he decided that if the story was going to continue, he wanted to do it after all. Especially once they said RZ could do whatever he wanted with it. Also, the fact that he gave Danielle Harris the respect she deserved was amazing. The overall unrated version of H2 is better, but the theatrical cut's ending makes more sense. It leads to the same point, but instead of Laurie getting shot, she instead puts on Michael's mask, indicating she's losing it. Also, Michael does not talk. The reason that Michael kills the two "random" people at the neighboring farm party is that Michael is trying to make Laurie feel as isolated as possible. It's thematic to the rest of the movie with linking them together through Laurie's madness, and he wants her to be alone, like him. So, he got rid of one friend as he was heading to the house. Then got rid of the other friend and Annie. There was no "teleporting," though. I always just figured the two "farms" were pretty close. Also, he did not "teleport" up to the bathroom to get Annie. He got the officer and while she was getting ready, he came through the second bathroom door. Anyway, the hate that this movie gets is lingering from when it first it came out and how people felt about RZ's unrated version of Halloween. I think the theatrical cut of H1 and this movie are actually very good.
52:43 Yes. This Michael Myers teleports. There is a reason for that. Michael wasn't... Michael in every scene. At least some of those Michaels, maybe even all of them (I find that one a bit weird, though) were, in fact, Laurie. As a funny aside, the joke than Danielle Harris can't be killed by Michael Myers may be true, because it might have been Laurie that did it. The party kills were almost definitely Laurie. The strip club ones are the ones I find most difficult to pin as Laurie. This is a weird entry in the series. It's kind of psuedo-philosophical and pretentious, but some of the things make more sense than they appear, and I appreciate it for what it is.
Just a Weird Theory, What if Michael was really dead and who did all the Killing was Laurie subconsciously after all. Remember when at the end Dr. Lumis said "there's no body holding you, " What if it's all in her head and She was Michael Myers in this One.
John Carpenter was offered a cameo in the film by Rob Zombie, but he turned it down. And first Halloween movie to include Michael clearly walking around without his mask on.
38:00 I was worried for a bit that you didn't realise the Rocky Horror costumes. I met the Love of my Life, at a Rocky horror party. Greatest Sex of my life. Turned out she was Nymphomaniac! For real! I kept up with her, through my 20's and almost half my 30's. Then the Bipolar Bear showed up and I tried for a few years, to help her but she wouldn't take her pills. When she put our daughter in danger, that was it for me. I guess the lesson is, don't marry Rocky Horror fans, I think. Great movie fun to see live but not fun to live through... Why am I telling you all this? What the fuck is wrong with me? Sorry for that.
Was never the biggest Rob Zombie fan, due in part to how he writes his characters, but I love Brad Dourif's take on Sheriff Brackett. Dourif has daughters in real-life, so maybe he could sympathize.
I always liked Golem myself for some reason, and Feraligatr. I used to troll people on gen 6 online battles with Umbreon and Snorlax. People probably have an idea on my preferences and playstyle from that: I got someone to rage quit after an hour long online battle lol
I like unrated scenes that weren't added in theatrical cut but the theatrical ending version....though is a lot better. I saw this back in theatres in 2009 with my friends, RIP to Lois Lane she did an awesome job as Laurie's therapist.
15:40 I know you guys are worried about Buddy because he's a nice man but a lot of us, going in to this, were worried about someone else. Someone whose name also started with a B. Ben Tramer!! This is the 2nd chance, we never thought he would get and Robert Zombie, being a fan, would know that! I can't wait to see what he has in store, for Ben and Laurie...
The biggest problem with these two Rob Zombie movies is that there is literally nobody we care about or want to survive. There's not a single person in either film who deserves to make it to the end.
36:10 Earlier I posted that after the hospital, everything goes downhill! I did forgot about Weird Al's most appropriate cameo ever! I appologise. But now thing are clear. Al is the key to all of this because we've never had a character this symbolic of parody before It's actually quite clever. Zombie doesn't give a shit about making this movie. We know he was pushed into it. So why not turn it in to a Fuck you parody. A 'Weird' joke. Who is the king of weird, parody, joke songs? Mr. Yankovich!! Brilliant. Just brilliant. Zombie shows us what the movie could have been. If he followed the hospital setting of the original sequal. Rob proves he still knows what he's doing and if he wanted to, he could have made a well liked sequel. Instead he pulls the rug from below, trolls us with the oldest trick in the book and then takes every character you liked from the first part and turns them all, into completely unlikeable pricks, except Annie and Sheriff Bracket. You have to have someone you care about, or you will turn the movie off, or stop paying attention. Tbc P.S. Zombie also casts an actress, who actually went crazy and makes her, the sanest one in the movie. Lol If that is not a troll, then what is??
This being the Director’s Cut the ending is everyone died. What you see in the end is Laurie’s dying thought. I only know that because I watched the movie with Rob Zombie’s commentary where he had to explain it to me. He also says about how Michael survived the first movie “Laurie misses or it grazed him or whatever.” I think the theatrical cut has a better ending. It presents Laurie as less messed up and more likable but ultimately falls into the Darkness of her family ties. Michael has a better death, Loomis has a better death. Laurie lives but is driven insane. Again I stand by the family ties is bad and always held the franchise back. But Rob did the best with it in my opinion
"Laurie misses or it grazed him or whatever." That is how little the director thought things through? I don't hate this movie or the first part, but this quote leaves me feeling Rob wasn't taking this a seriously as I would hope.
@@jacquelinecallejas1390 Yeah, I was surprised how he would just say things like that out loud. I mean, I was fine with Michael coming back because I just filled in that she missed. But it’s still wild how fed up he was with the movie by the time he recorded the commentary. But he has been on record to say that working under the Weinsteins was a pain in the ass and zapped all the fun out of making the movies.
Y'all think this is bad (which it's so much worse than even Halloween Ends), you should watch Rob Zombie's: The Munsters. I couldn't even get through half of that one before my TV literally died, and I agreed with it! It was horrendous!
So the tv decided it just couldn't go on and died so it wouldn't have to convey Rob Zombie's the Munsters? That's hysterical. Did you buy a new tv and put on Everything Everywhere All at Once and other good movies to keep up its spirits?
@@jacquelinecallejas1390 Actually, I didn't have money to replace it, so my friends pooled a little and got me one. But yes, I watched good movies the same night I got it just to cleanse my room. 😂
He was a much more efficient killer when he was in Austin powers. He acted completely different though maybe its because he didn't wear a mask the entire time
I think in the case of Deborah Myers, she's not really the Mom in this film. It's another entity taking her form, so Michael will commit human sacrifices in her name.
@@MarcusC68 Not really. It was going to get made anyway with him or without. He only took over because he didn't want someone else directing his remake. You should really be blaming the Weinstein Brothers that a sequel had gotten made and that better Alternate Ending in Rob's first movie got replaced. Call that ego if you want, but would you really want someone else writing and directing a remake you came up with and had a passion in doing? Also, excuse me when I say this. This isn't John Carpenter's Michael Myers, this is a Remake that had the will to be different while still attempting to make the character a force not to be reckoned with. Sorry I had to tell you the obvious. I actually like that this story chose to be deep, it's just not for you. Now if this was John Carpenter's version of the character, then I'd have issues. And "Ends" was the worst case of that if something "different" were the case for the character. I'll watch Rob Zombie's Halloween II over a more feminine Michael Myers any day of the year. Edit: Rob's Halloween II is one of my favorites, while I prefer the ideas of the original. I love that Rob did something different with his own take with the story despite the conditions he had to work with in order to make these films. And if you don't like what I had to say, please give me something to talk about rather than a short and non-sensical response that's more oriented around a cliched hate-train I've already heard about some celebrity a thousand times.
You guys reacted to the director's cut that Rob Zombie made more available. The theatrical cut is way more tolerable than this version Laurie is less obnoxious and it has a very different ending that makes a lot more sense than the one you saw.
@@MiyaoMeow588 It makes her look like a woman who's trying hard to get it together instead of someone who treats the people who took her in terribly and taking her frustrations out on everyone.
IS it just me or was Laurie SUPER annoying in this movie?? You'd think after nearly being killed by Michael she'd be traumatized but it didn't make much sense for her to start fanboying over Charles Manson (you know.... another serial killer) and having his picture on her fucking wall and shit. You'd think she'd want to stay away from that kind of stuff.
Trauma can take many forms. Some people hyperfixate on things similar or related to their trauma. Others avoid such things. Also, there's the fact that Laurie is implied to be the actual killer in this movie.
“How come mommy’s a creepy ghost now?” Because Rob Zombie needed a reason to give his wife screen time.
Haha even rob zombie has to pay to play. Story old as time 😉
I don't think she did much for this movie but I liked her in the first one and made me feel bad for her.
He doesn't need a reason, she hot.
It worked for Jason, why not Michael? I loved that element. It makes you wonder if she was real or not since Laurie sees her too.
@@BoogSReviews because no
Mrs Movies: he ate a dog?
Dr. Loomis: he got hungry.
Michael: "Weird. This dog tastes like pizza."
11:52 not the “Charrrr” when she sneezed 🤣🤣
brad dourif doesn't get enough credit for his role of sheriff bracket, I think he did an amazing job bringing heart to that character
"He's eating the dog?"
"That was not one of my options..."
Got me really good.
15:27
That made me laugh more than I should've lol
Mrs. Movie's expression in the thumbnail perfectly sums up this movie.
"That's a way to get ahead in life" 🤣
I like the grunting. For this version of Michael Myers, it works. The quietness of Michael Myers works for John Carpenter's version.
That's what killed me about the insistence some people have about this version of Michael not being true to the original.
_John Carpenter_ himself told Rob Zombie he should make his own version of Michael, not just rehash the character.
People saying "I don't like this version" makes sense. People saying "it isn't true to the character" are being pretentious midwits.

Usually I watch a Halloween movie for Michael Myers, but I have to say, I watch this one for Laurie. The portrayal of her character and trauma is my favorite thing about this movie.
@@FourTilSunday 100% agree
@@SmileyAdventures I'm with you totally on that!
People with PTSD have it a lot worse than calling everyone a bitch which is all Laurie does in this.

People walk down stairs on their heels!? Never noticed that. I go down on my toes too.
John Carpenter was offered a cameo in the film by Rob Zombie, but he turned it down. And first Halloween movie to include Michael clearly walking around without his mask on.

I was worried for a bit that you didn't realise the Rocky Horror costumes.
I met the Love of my Life, at a Rocky horror party. Greatest Sex of my life.
Turned out she was Nymphomaniac! For real!
I kept up with her, through my 20's and almost half my 30's. Then the Bipolar Bear showed up and I tried for a few years, to help her but she wouldn't take her pills. When she put our daughter in danger, that was it for me.
I guess the lesson is, don't marry Rocky Horror fans, I think. Great movie fun to see live but not fun to live through...
Why am I telling you all this? What the fuck is wrong with me? Sorry for that.
Was never the biggest Rob Zombie fan, due in part to how he writes his characters, but I love Brad Dourif's take on Sheriff Brackett. Dourif has daughters in real-life, so maybe he could sympathize.
All I want to do is find Laurie a brush😂😂😂
the little cowboy hat sent me lmao
Rob Zombie shot the movie using 16mm film stock which accounts for the excessive grain that the Missus noticed.
I always liked Golem myself for some reason, and Feraligatr. I used to troll people on gen 6 online battles with Umbreon and Snorlax. People probably have an idea on my preferences and playstyle from that: I got someone to rage quit after an hour long online battle lol
Epic intro!
I like unrated scenes that weren't added in theatrical cut but the theatrical ending version....though is a lot better. I saw this back in theatres in 2009 with my friends, RIP to Lois Lane she did an awesome job as Laurie's therapist.

I know you guys are worried about Buddy because he's a nice man but a lot of us, going in to this, were worried about someone else.
Someone whose name also started with a B.
Ben Tramer!!
This is the 2nd chance, we never thought he would get and Robert Zombie, being a fan, would know that!
I can't wait to see what he has in store, for Ben and Laurie...
Your reaction to that girl costume is hilarious lol
You guys should check out the slasher movie Hatchet. Really underrated.
Love all 4 films although 3 is my favourite just because of sid haig even though I think 2 is better and 4 was shockingly good
The biggest problem with these two Rob Zombie movies is that there is literally nobody we care about or want to survive. There's not a single person in either film who deserves to make it to the end.
The most sympathetic character is Michael Myers... which is F-ed Up!

how are MICHAEL'S teeth so clean ?

Earlier I posted that after the hospital, everything goes downhill!
I did forgot about Weird Al's most appropriate cameo ever! I appologise. But now thing are clear. Al is the key to all of this because we've never had a character this symbolic of parody before
It's actually quite clever. Zombie doesn't give a shit about making this movie. We know he was pushed into it.
So why not turn it in to a Fuck you parody. A 'Weird' joke. Who is the king of weird, parody, joke songs? Mr. Yankovich!!
Brilliant. Just brilliant. Zombie shows us what the movie could have been. If he followed the hospital setting of the original sequal. Rob proves he still knows what he's doing and if he wanted to, he could have made a well liked sequel.
Instead he pulls the rug from below, trolls us with the oldest trick in the book and then takes every character you liked from the first part and turns them all, into completely unlikeable pricks, except Annie and Sheriff Bracket.
You have to have someone you care about, or you will turn the movie off, or stop paying attention.
Tbc
P.S. Zombie also casts an actress, who actually went crazy and makes her, the sanest one in the movie. Lol
If that is not a troll, then what is??
This being the Director’s Cut the ending is everyone died. What you see in the end is Laurie’s dying thought. I only know that because I watched the movie with Rob Zombie’s commentary where he had to explain it to me. He also says about how Michael survived the first movie “Laurie misses or it grazed him or whatever.”
I think the theatrical cut has a better ending. It presents Laurie as less messed up and more likable but ultimately falls into the Darkness of her family ties. Michael has a better death, Loomis has a better death. Laurie lives but is driven insane.
Again I stand by the family ties is bad and always held the franchise back. But Rob did the best with it in my opinion
"Laurie misses or it grazed him or whatever." That is how little the director thought things through? I don't hate this movie or the first part, but this quote leaves me feeling Rob wasn't taking this a seriously as I would hope.
@@jacquelinecallejas1390 Yeah, I was surprised how he would just say things like that out loud. I mean, I was fine with Michael coming back because I just filled in that she missed. But it’s still wild how fed up he was with the movie by the time he recorded the commentary. But he has been on record to say that working under the Weinsteins was a pain in the ass and zapped all the fun out of making the movies.
If you all haven't seen them, I recommend the Hatchet movies.
She got A psychic link with Michael like Jaime did maybe Laurie in original had one too that's why she's the only one that saw him lol
I'm still undecided about this one.
Michael Myers should never take off his mask and should never talk, he's a silent stealthy killer.
"You made me make this movie so I'm gonna make it shitty on purpose."
That's also my theory for the fourth Matrix movie.
Y'all think this is bad (which it's so much worse than even Halloween Ends), you should watch Rob Zombie's: The Munsters. I couldn't even get through half of that one before my TV literally died, and I agreed with it! It was horrendous!
So the tv decided it just couldn't go on and died so it wouldn't have to convey Rob Zombie's the Munsters? That's hysterical. Did you buy a new tv and put on Everything Everywhere All at Once and other good movies to keep up its spirits?
@@jacquelinecallejas1390 Actually, I didn't have money to replace it, so my friends pooled a little and got me one. But yes, I watched good movies the same night I got it just to cleanse my room. 😂
Mrs. Movies I'm a male with size 12 feet and I too walk up and down stairs with my toes. I find it's easier to balance and expels less energy IMO.
We've seen in other ones Michael can get around lol basically teleporting lol in last one he walks everywhere and he got to haddonfield fast lol
Hammer pants! Hahaha oh man that takes me back
I liked Michael Myers in Austin Powers :)
He was a much more efficient killer when he was in Austin powers. He acted completely different though maybe its because he didn't wear a mask the entire time
I think in the case of Deborah Myers, she's not really the Mom in this film. It's another entity taking her form, so Michael will commit human sacrifices in her name.
That's too deep for Michael Myers. This movie was made for Zombie's ego and a paycheck for his wife.
@@MarcusC68 Not really. It was going to get made anyway with him or without. He only took over because he didn't want someone else directing his remake. You should really be blaming the Weinstein Brothers that a sequel had gotten made and that better Alternate Ending in Rob's first movie got replaced. Call that ego if you want, but would you really want someone else writing and directing a remake you came up with and had a passion in doing? Also, excuse me when I say this. This isn't John Carpenter's Michael Myers, this is a Remake that had the will to be different while still attempting to make the character a force not to be reckoned with. Sorry I had to tell you the obvious. I actually like that this story chose to be deep, it's just not for you. Now if this was John Carpenter's version of the character, then I'd have issues. And "Ends" was the worst case of that if something "different" were the case for the character. I'll watch Rob Zombie's Halloween II over a more feminine Michael Myers any day of the year.
Edit: Rob's Halloween II is one of my favorites, while I prefer the ideas of the original. I love that Rob did something different with his own take with the story despite the conditions he had to work with in order to make these films. And if you don't like what I had to say, please give me something to talk about rather than a short and non-sensical response that's more oriented around a cliched hate-train I've already heard about some celebrity a thousand times.
The damn Catholics!!!! I knew it!!!
@@frankmartin3600 I know right?
I prefer the ending of the theatrical cut much better.
Before this Rob Zombie said he had No Interest in Remaking the Original Halloween 2. Then there's the whole hospital scene! 😂 It's a weird irony.
Just realized I've seen this reaction f it I loved it the first time loving it this time love your reactions love the movies best of both worlds lol
I can't oversee the Actor from Sons of Anarchy, Police Chief Unser..😮😮😮😮😮😮
I came into this one with dread cause i figured Annie will bite it in this one lol. Lucky to survive last one lol.
As bad as Rob Zombie's 2007 Halloween remake is, it almost feels like a competent movie compared to this.
Agreed. This was a pitiful mess.
This is way better than the first. It's one of the only movies in the franchise to have actual character development
@@MiyaoMeow588lol whose character had development in this?
@@MiyaoMeow588
😂 Ok, explain further.
.......waiting
I still dont understand people who think the 2007 remake was bad. It, in my opinion, was scarier than the original 🤷♂️
Jam and jelly😂😂
You guys reacted to the director's cut that Rob Zombie made more available. The theatrical cut is way more tolerable than this version Laurie is less obnoxious and it has a very different ending that makes a lot more sense than the one you saw.
you mean the theatrical cut makes laurie less of an actual person
@@MiyaoMeow588 It makes her look like a woman who's trying hard to get it together instead of someone who treats the people who took her in terribly and taking her frustrations out on everyone.
Rob Zombie should stick to music..
@ConservativeKirbyXIcKXI His old music good. Art? No thx.
He movies not bad
How redundant is it Michael yelling die
i may be the only one that love this movie 😭😭
You're not alone there, dude. Halloween 2018-2022 trilogy made this one look like a new classic./
Nope, I love it too lol
@@SaRENRampaiger2018 shits all over this garbage ass movie..
Everybody hates this movie but I find it entertaining. The preferred method of watching it is the director's cut with the theatrical ending.
IS it just me or was Laurie SUPER annoying in this movie?? You'd think after nearly being killed by Michael she'd be traumatized but it didn't make much sense for her to start fanboying over Charles Manson (you know.... another serial killer) and having his picture on her fucking wall and shit. You'd think she'd want to stay away from that kind of stuff.
Trauma can take many forms. Some people hyperfixate on things similar or related to their trauma. Others avoid such things.
Also, there's the fact that Laurie is implied to be the actual killer in this movie.
