So X, my man.
I finally got around to watching Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 this weekend, and man... I fucking HATED it. I remember you had some pretty high praise for it when it was first released, and maybe I would have felt the same way watching it at a movie theater, but fuck... on my couch, in my home all by myself, I was so extremely disappointed with the outcome of this.
I thought the hospital scene was terrific, but once it turned out to be a dream, the movie went way down hill from there. No more suspenseful moments, just ridiculous ghost and annoying bitches whining. That's all the movie was for me. There were some decent killings past that, but still... severely disappointed overall, like I said.
All that said, you can still sense how great of a director Rob Zombie is going to become. I just think he ought to either direct other people's scripts, or have his re-written by a professional, because the dialogue and everything else in his films are becoming a bit repetitive.
