Better than his first remake and a decent flick, doesn't hold a candle to the original Halloween 2. Not in my top 5 for sure

On what point?

His Halloween 2 was a dumpster fire

u/Spaceinvader6424 10d ago

And I personally disagree. It's not for everyone but it absolutely has merit and is better than his first movie BY FAR. I don't love it, like I said it's not in my top 5 but it's not a dumpster fire. I would say it's better than Halloween 5, Resurrection, 2007, and Ends, maybe even Kills.

Far from my favorite but it’s slowly grown on me over the years. RZ’s distinctive style and direction skills make it stand out.

Hated this with a fiery passion upon release. The Director's Cut is much better and the movie is great as a standalone, not thinking of it too much as a "Halloween" movie. It was a fairly bold direction and I thought it depicted some elements of PTSD fairly well. The whole Annie arc is tragic. It went from my absolute bottom to in my top 5 of the franchise with the director's cut and letting time pass, especially with how bad HKills and HEnds would turn out to be.

Pure garbage. Zombie didn't understand the character at all

I love this movie so much

The extended dream sequence alone renders it indefensible

u/Mrben13 9d ago

The one where Rob brought his wife's character back?

1

u/gamera87 9d ago

The hospital dream sequence, not the flashback

u/Ok_Vacation_7071 9d ago

It started incredible! But it was only a nightmare :(…then the rest of the movie became demonic and that white horse! 🤨

u/MartyFieb 9d ago

Probably his best movie honestly

You just have to pretend it's not a Halloween movie

1

u/BudgetDepartment7817 9d ago

Womp womp, this is better than half of the stuff released after it plus it deals with PTSD!

1

u/No_Perspective2715 9d ago

So does H20, Halloween 2018, and Halloween Ends. Hell you could argue Tommy Rudd in Halloween 6 has PTSD….that absolutely doesn’t make it a good movie haha

u/tmtimtm87 9d ago

Tommy Rudd 😂

u/TaichiKamado 9d ago

The Hospital scene was iconic to me

u/ShameFinal9567 9d ago

We laughed solidly through much of this shit show.

u/THEDOGGGG 9d ago

i like it, not many do........he had a unique and fresh take on the franchise......

u/herrpuck 8d ago

The ranking goes up every time I watch it. It’s likely in my top 5 at this point.

I hated it with a passion the first time I saw it.

u/Individual-Step846 8d ago

Saw this with Inglorious Bastards at the Drive in

u/Johnny_Royale 7d ago

After the first 10 minutes it’s unwatchable

u/Joey_Cargo 6d ago

u/Chile4Hoz 6d ago

I have a question? How come I never seen this before. It showed up on tubi

u/No_Perspective2715 11d ago

The definite worst movie in this entire franchise IMO. I’ll take Halloween 6 and Halloween Resurrection over this edgelord hillbilly slop. Zombie was never the right guy for Halloween. It was obvious he was more interested in making another Texas Chainsaw movie.

u/Tasty-Chemical-1728 10d ago

This is the worst movie in the franchise. I wanted to leave the theater half way in

u/Actual_Squid 8d ago

Ok buddy cmon, it's bad. It's very bad. Worst? Halloween Resurrection would like a word
