Been awhile since I seen this one but i remember liking it quite a bit. Kinda like a modern TCM
Yes!!! Captain Spalding, Doctor Death….The Great Murder Ride at Captain Spaldings Gas Station/gift shop/
The movie was insane and the characters were tremendous and evil.
One of my favorite grimy lunatic, sadistic family horror films.
Obviously it was heavily influenced by TCM.
Zombie has made some excellent “white trash” horror flicks and also some real stinkers.
This is my favorite from him.
As far as Halloween in 2007 I loved it. I thought the new take on his back story was refreshing and actually highly terrifying. The scene where he has his very first kill on that bully was incredibly disturbing. I thought Malcom McDowel did a fantastic job as Doctor Loomis in this 2007 reimagined version.
I felt Zombies Michael Meyers was brutal. He was fast, strong and did not **** around. I really enjoyed the teen victims and they did a great job making you care. The music was spot on authentic.
To me this was probably one of the strongest reboots made.
