HALLOWEEN 2 audiences turning against film at weekend box office?
Nikki Finke is reporting on her site that FINAL DESTINATION 3D is easily beating HALLOWEEN 2 at box office.. Weinstein's hopes pinned on Rob Zombie's bloody massacre of not only bodies in the movie, but also quite frankly the very memory of what the original Carpenter's HALLOWEEN intended on doing//
Finke reporting: "As the summer winds down, studio execs needing a vacation are getting punchier (and their quotes to me snarkier). But even Hollywood is embarrassed by the fact that this weekend's Top 4 competing films featuring horror, death, gore, mayhem, war, Nazis, aliens, and sci-fi all did so well at the box office Friday. "What a sad statement on movie-going humanity," a top studio exec emailed me tonight"
TAKING WOODSTOCK flopping at box office.. INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS and DISTRICT 9 staying in top five.. Finke reporting that studio execs are predicting a larger than expected $26+ mil for FINAL DESTINATION.. a possible $17 mil for Zombie's flesh feast.. and a pitiful $3.7 mil for the stroll down a drug induced lane in TAKING WOODSTOCK.. Developing//
FRIDAY AUGUST 28 2009
HALLOWEEN 2 and FINAL DESTINATION 3D reviews were held back until the release.. perhaps it's because the movies are getting ugly reviews..
SCI FI SLAM: "Comparing Halloween to Halloween II is a little bit like debating the comparative value of two bowel movements. Both are equally worthless, but the first was excruciating while the second just uncomfortable" "In the end, The Final Destination 4 reviews are only slightly worse than Halloween 2, at least early on"
DEAD CENTRAL not too happy with H2..
Horror-Movies.ca declares "this film is not a HALLOWEEN film
FANGORIA with half-praise: "HALLOWEEN II is rooted in a jet-black reality, tense and chaotic, and withholds nothing. Every bit of blood and insanity is on display for the audience to deal with. This might be off-putting for some viewers, who find they are given very little relief and sympathy throughout"
SAN FRAN CHRON: Not a big treat..
E!ONLINE: "Halloween II attempts some ambitious genre bending that doesn't always work and that may occasionally evoke laughter"
SCOTSMAN take on FINAL DESTINATION: A "3D-enhanced instalment of the Casualty-for-sickos franchise "
FEAR NET on FINAL DESTINATION: "Were it not for the money and effort poured into the 3-D nonsense, this movie would absolutely debut on your local video shelf. And even by that standard, it'd be borderline unwatchable"
HOLLYWOOD REPORTER hits FINAL DESTINATION: "The set pieces with the stunts, editing, visual effects, panting music and screaming actors do their jobs efficiently. You can almost sense the high-fives behind the camera. But Death surely needs a holiday. He's tired and running out of ideas"

I always felt that these guys were such idiots that they [would] make the perfect victims in horror movies.

He removed what made Halloween so good and made a mediocre slasher. I am also SICK of Hollywood’s need to give a backstory to every freaking character. Michael Meyers was scarier to me as just evil incarnate, not some white trash kid from a broken home" ..

'HOSTEL' ELI ROTH: "I couldn’t understand why people got so upset about it when they didn’t seem upset about violence in real life".. JEWISH JOURNAL reports on Eli Roth's "Inglourious Basterds" .."Donny is a Jewish guy from South Boston who is fighting on behalf of Jews who can’t," said Roth, who still displays much of the 40 pounds of extra muscle he put on for the role. "He uses his baseball bat to pummel Nazis, so he can physically feel that sensation of cracking their skulls in."..
JEWISH JOURNAL reports, "Roth’s love for the cinematic side of horror was clear when he persuaded his parents to hire a magician to pretend to hack him in half with a buzz saw — as he shrieked — at his bar mitzvah reception. His cake was shaped like a film slate embellished with dollops of oozing fake blood"

CINEMATICAL reviews: THE COLLECTOR doesn't dillute story with comedy.. calls "catscene" unbearable..
MORE.. COLLECTOR Writer-director Marcus Dunstan There’s a scene where we needed to have a zippo lighter burn a character’s hand. I didn’t want to hurt the actor and I didn’t have a good enough fake hand, so we burned mine. You’ll see the hairs curl up and you’ll the skin start to smoke. And that’s me!" .. EW reported on the COLLECTOR film: Dunstan says it took four visits to the MPAA to secure an R-rating but that, in the end, their notes proved beneficial to the final result. “I think we went too far” he admits. “The MPAA brought us back to a point where it maintains all of the impact, and now it lands even more real. The gore we ended up cutting out only amounted to about seven seconds. But it was frames here and there that really went beyond the realm of good taste.”
