I still like “Red Clover”. :laughing:
Billy Zane’s awesome, the movie had some great tongue-in-cheek humor, it had a few good jump-scares, and even though the ending seemed a bit rushed, it was a fun romp.
The original “The Fog” was great, too. Wonderfully creepy, and Carpenter’s score adds so much to the movie itself.
What bugs me about movies like “Halloween” is that no one ever thinks, “Hey, this guy keeps coming back even though he gets a clothes-hanger in the eye, stabbed with a butcher-knife, shot in the chest a bunch of times, hit and/or run over by a car a few times, etc., so just take a shotgun and blow off the top of his head leaving just the neck-stump, so he won’t be coming back any more.”??
Then, just for good measure, maybe set him on fire and put the scorched corpse through a woodchipper. That’ll fix ’im…
Now, “Silent Rage” was awesome because it addressed this. The guy gets a huge (over)dose of a regeneration-drug, to the point of almost instant healing. So yeah, you kill ’im dead and he’ll still regenerate… as long as he’s intact.
Same dealy, cut off his head to at least slow him down (and what’s he gonna do, grow a new head on his body, and a new body from his head, like some crazed starfish??), then torch him ’til crispy-fried, give him the woodchipper treatment, then bury the leftover gooey bits and gristle in a concrete slab.
He won’t be coming back.
Horror movies like “The Bunnyman” were kinda kewl, because the title critter wasn’t superhuman or anything, just a nutjob, and his victims were such idiots and so richly deserving of horrific deaths that I was actually rooting for The Bunnyman to kill them off, just to end my horror.
So… new “Halloween”? Dunno. Maybe when I can order an “evaluation copy” to watch…
Oh, and if it’s a “reboot” or anything, then the writers can go DIAF. I hate when they do that.
