I see ypur point, but what the reviews can give you is a fair idea of the content; and while labeling that content "good" or "bad" is up to the individual, after reading about the content and its presentation I'm making the decision to not support the film with my money.

Hey guys!

If this movie made you diasappoint, then I suggest you to wait until October 5th to see TRICK 'R TREAT movie. I heard it was awsome movie and a good storyline!

Gory movies turn me off, too.

Meanwhile, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Skinwalkers, and The Invasion are also in release, and recommended.

Well, it wasn't really the gore, per se, that made me leave the theatre. It was what looked to me like a poor concept, a weak concept, and this made the proceedings seem meaningless, unnecessarily exploitative, and offensive.

Didn't seem like a horror classic unfolding to me. Seemed more like a gore-covered truck hauling two tons of stupid.

Yeah...(sigh) I guess I was upset by what I saw. I love a good horror film, but this didn't appear to be it.

You left the movie before it finished?

Wow, that's a whole other level of suck, isn't it?

The movie I mean....

Yes. I was thinking to myself, "What base perfidy is here unleashed?"

TomAnderson,

You left the theater 20 minutes later??? You wasted that f**king money!! Damn, man! You should have to stay in and watch the rest of this film! Jeez... Understand that the film didn't start blood and gore until after one hour, you know, then the rest of serious graphic scenes will be shown for the rest of nearly 50 minutes till the movie ends.

That's like the second time I've seen you type that and it ain't even close to making sense.

But I'm okay with that.

Sometimes you can just see it coming.
I was THERE back in the day when HALLOWEEN was on the big screen and people did not know what hit them.
One of my warmest memories was having the huge fat lady sitting in front of me jump out of her seat, point to the screen and scream;"DON'T GO BACK INTO THAT HOUSE, YOU STUPID GIRL!!!!"
So they let Rob Zombie re make it and I knew from just that fact that it would NOT be a happening deal.
the first worked with fantastic camera work..and CRAFTSMANSHIP. Carpenter is a master director and this was his real breakout piece. some of us remembered his ASSAULT ON PRECINT 13....(the original) and one of Quentin Tarantino's faves.
Partly I blame the companies, and partly I blame horror fans...we don't respect the originals enough. If someone tried to remake KANE OR GONE WITH THE WIND, they would be run out of town...HALLOWEEN should have been left alone..but they let ANYBODY make a horror flick...and it takes TALENT...not just blood and guts.

You've got a point there Tor, a classic horror flick doesn't get the same respect as a classic "straight" movie I guess.

Good call.

base: without moral principles

perfidy: untrustworthiness

A little more classy than "sucks", which refers to fellatio.

And here I was thinking perfidy was a made up word...

It just doesn't grab you like "sucks."

But then again, what does??

Actually, "What base perfidy is here unleashed?" is a line from one of the early Dr. Strange comics and I was hoping you would get it!

But actually, I got my money back at the theatre. I took that money and bought an ice-cold fruity beverage with it! And some cookies also.

From today's Toronto Globe & Mail: "Halloween is ugly, squalid and sadistic. Unfortunately, it's also less exciting."

From Saturday's Detroit Free Press: "This is a disappointment from Zombie."

You said an ice cold fruity beverage was a better purchase than one more minute of RZ's Halloween. Man, now that's comedy!

You stumped the chump on that Dr. Strange line my man.
