Saturdaythe13th, I agree. a "corpse fucking obsessed coroner's assistant" just assures this movie will be all kinds of white trash sleaze. Definately up Zombie's alley, but that in itself is is the problem. Pike, the problem is not that Zombie is an individual. The problem is that he does nothing but his own "style". Older horror movies were more individuals in themselves, and horror directors, while having SOME style carried over, tried to give birth to each movie's individual styles that were different than their previous movies. Not all of Carpenter's movies are the same. If you do nothing by the same major themes over and over again, people ARE going to criticize you for not having any ability to work outside of the little space you are comfortable in. And people like that deserve to be criticized. You become a one trick pony. While I think a lot of people would complain a LOT less if Zombie used his "style" on his OWN original movies, the reason why so many rose to rant is because he "Zombie-fied" a classic. Everything that was a major point in the original's story, especially about Michael Myer's past, was raped and sleazed up. Gone is his mystery, and now he's just another serial killer wrestler not unlike the new Leatherface or Jason. Where as horror titles used to be their own movies(hell, even slasher ripoffs used to do the individuality thing well), now all horror is bleeding into itself. There's no individuality anymore, just "Horror", where everything is everything, and nothing stands out anymore.
