Talk: Horror Hacker: August 2009

Halloween 3D.... Yup, they've finally sunk THERE.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2009/08/halloween-3d-coming-in-summer-2010.html
Okay, here's my philosophy with a new 'Halloween'...
If you watch the original 'Halloween 2', you see that the expectations of having a BIG film snuck it's way in and manipulated the movie. I mean, I love the film, but it was that film that started the explosions, which lead to Michael stabbing guns through people, to dramatic car chases... I love the basis that the original 'Halloween' carried out: less is more. We're so numb to gore and guts and overload of profanity that these elements make for a faceless flick. A man- well, he's hardly 'just a man', but nonetheless, stalking you throughout the neighborhood is STILL terrifying in real life. We don't need to go over the top!

Also, 1978's was a cinematic gem with the original score, the easy flow of the camera- the whole shaky vibe is frightening at times, yes, but it makes the subject matter less important.

I say IF there is another installment in the 'Halloween' franchise, I really hope it goes back to the original style. We don't need gimmicks.

Oh yeah, and keep Michael Bay as far away from it as possible.

I'm loving the outpour of want for Monsterfest

I'm sorry to leave such an empty post, but I'm getting really excited and hopeful for this year's movie festival on AMC. They do it best. =]
