Halloween II (2009)

Rob Zombie directs Scout Taylor-Compton, Malcolm McDowell and Danielle Harris in this sequel to the rock’n’roll gore autuer’s remake of the slasher classic.

A PTSD movie hidden in a loudmouth, squeaky voiced nasty fest. This is possibly one of Zombie’s weakest efforts but he delivers stunning classical horror in his own way in the first act. Everything else is indulgent and abrasive. That is the home brand of ketchup this guy slathers on all his French Fries. It might not completely work as a multiplex slasher after those first thirty minutes but it could be seen as Zombie’s love letter to Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me in its themes and most off-the-wall moments.
