BioBasterd, what’s wrong with Rob Zombie? House of 1000 Corpses was an alright film with memorable characters, and The Devil’s Rejects was even better then House. The last scene in that movie was one of my favorites from any movie, to be honest. I’m not really a hardcore fan or horror, but I do enjoy the films. I’ll agree wit you that I hate all the reboots (Texas Chainsaw and My Bloody Valentine 3D were shit, and now there even redoing Hitchcock’s The Birds?!), but as everyone else is saying, H2 won’t be a remake and I’m sure Zombie will make a hell of a sequel…hopefully.

Well in the list mentioned above, Zombie does come on top. I don’t get why he is remaking the Halloween franchise. It’s just tedious. We get it, he’s a psycopath who wears a white mask and kills people for whatever reason. What’s so great about that?
I think horror should start clean again. Deviate from the whole “splatter” stuff and just make a smart film without formulaic garbage. I hate Eli Roth because Quentin actually praised him as “The future of horror”, and the guy actually believes it! Just because he made a couple of torture films, he thinks he’s “it”.
Look at George Romero for example. I see him as a Hitchcock type, and mind you - if it weren’t for the typecasting that plagued his career he would have been bigger than you think, not that he cares about that kind of stuff. Night Of The Living Dead, Martin…all of these films used wit, social commentary. These were smart films! The horror genre is being dumbed down by these guys who think gore is what makes a great horror movie. That is why when you sit in the dark and see the same shit over and over again - you think to yourself: “Boy all these films are so alike”. That’s because little by little the big studios started to take over and decided to make gross out films for the teenage kids who don’t know any better.
