most peoples idea of horror these days is that gore= scary. also I think Rob Zombie is the wrong person to do halloween, his films are mostly gore over psychological horror. The exact opposite of what the original halloween was about.

Now, you do not need gore, but you do need to be visceral. After all, watch the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It's no more gorey than, say, The Grudge, but it sure is R-rated. Perhaps Rob Zombie isn't the best choice, but from what I've heard, Devil's Rejects was a great film. He is surely more qualified than the blokes in Hollywood.

Vacancy :PAle_22Vacancy will make a great idea for a remake years down the road. But the movie will suck.
Â
Still, what a brilliant idea, I just wish it wasn't going to blow so hard.

Devil's Rejects sucked ass. I'd rather watch a full length Werewolf Women of the SS than his remake of Halloween.

I wouldn't go that far, but I will expect that as his next project. I mean, it's got Nicholas Cage as Fu Man-f***ing-chu!Ya... afterr I saw house of 1000 corpses and wanted to throw up, not because it was scary or gory mind you, but because it was SUCH A TERRIBLE MOVIE, I refuse to beleive rob zombie has, or will ever make a movie better than, at best, below average... man that movie was terrible.. and made no sense (thats saying alot for a horor movie... think about it... what horror movies DO make sense?... this made less....)
Anyway... it's not really a horror (well.. the original wasent) but.. 28 weeks later could be great, if it lives up to the original (which is more suspensful really.. but has some good horror stuff in it)Â none the less, it was a great movie, and the 2nd might fulfil the TC's original request.

I think that's an oxymoron since all horror films tend to be judged by how grotesquely violent they are with little artistic merit. I know at some point someone might pull out the sixth sense to prove me wrong, but I honestly don't feel that should even be considered a horror film. Those who bring up classics are making the a horrible mistake by not realizing the distinction between a good movie, and a classic horror movie.No, good horror movies are judged on how, you know, horrifying they are.
You've probably already guessed, but there are no good horror movies coming out.chimpiki

Have you seen The Shining? That's artistic filmmaking at its best.Â

No, horror has been watered down since the seventies. Ask any horror fan, RARELY do we see anything as remotely gory as seventies horror films were.Â

you seem to like horror, have you seen a film called SESSION 9 by Brad Anderson, its a really good psychological horror film about friends who go to clean up a famous asylum.Â
does anyone know about this movie WIND CHILL? its about this girl who picks upa hitchhiker and then drives down a shortcut to get home and find a roae that is haunted by a ,massacre years before.Film-GuyI'm not holding my breath for it.
Oh, I forgot, the reaping looks pretty cool (hillary swank in horror seems wierd.. but she is a good actress.. that usualy does good movies.. so.. that might say somthing about it) I think that and 28 weeks are the only ones i'm considering seeing in the near future.cheatymcshiftyThe Reaping looks terrible.
Â
And the reviews have pretty much confirmed this.Â

i saw the reaping, it was the typical religous horror filmt that was just stupid, 28 weeks later got rid of danny boyle from 28 days later, so it might suck.Â

Gore is not needed in a Horror movie, man. Alfred Hitcock's movie proved that. It's good to be realistic once in a while, but movies like Saw and Hostel are just desgraces to the Horror scene. They bring a good storyline, but the gore is completely unnecessary. Horror is about scaring people, not grossing them out to the extent where they want to vomit.....that's not horror.

Go watch Dawn of the Dead, or go watch Dead Alive. Heck, watch any zombie movie. Gore is not always a requirement, but, come on, tell me these would be as good without the gore. If you think they would have, you have no idea how such filmmaking works.Â
Edit: Don't get me wrong, these movies are outstanding outside the dismemberment, but the gore does nothing but add.Â

Dawn Of The Dead was built around gore, that is why it has started such a big cult following, because it was one of the first movies to actually go that far. To be honest, watching a man being disemboweled by 20 zombies just doesn't make my day. They wouldn't need the gore if they used actual scares.Â

 When people in a thread are considering thinking about a rob zombie movie possibly being decent, I give myself and other leeway to speculate on movies with real actors and storylines... though, the possiblity of me seeing the reaping has gone down.. admitedly (though... i stil might see it, of course) ... though, i'm still holding out for 28 weeks later, though... getting rid of the actors (I think?) is disapointing, if they stay true to the original, it could be great too..Â
