Want To See Some Folks Get Killed In 'Halloween'?
Tuesday, August 21, 2007

UPDATE: BDTV now has the same clip along with some others. Yahoo has posted a bizarrely re-edited clip from Rob Zombie's long awaited Halloween remake, along with some behind the scenes stuff. The clip shows Michael's escape from Smith's Grove, but like half of the scene is missing. I'm not sure why they would promote the film by providing a clip that looks like the result of an Avid virus, but hey, at least they didn't spoil the film's most shocking death like they did with the Comic Con clip. Rest assured this scene is much more coherent in the finished version. See for yourself on August 31st.

My work computer sucks. I watched it, but very chopped up. It was a very cool clip, but seemed to be a bit spoilerish. It showed more stuff than I expected to see and probably did not want to know. But what the heck.

The featurette is good. The "escape" video does appear condensed.

Alot of the footage seems to be that single camera "choppy" stuff. I hope that is exaggerated by the clips being on the web. I did, however, see some sweeping, long camera work also but the majority of the movie with that choppy POV look may get a little old.

the whole thing is shot the way rob likes to film, a lot of close ups. but it may seem more choppy because they didnt have the whole scene, and they cut the kills of the security guards really short also.. they didnt want to show you the blood and shit.. but in the "behind the mask" featurette, the scene where michael confronts dee wallace (lauries mother) that scene looks fucking awesome.. it showed small amounts, but im sure it will be pretty darn good all put together.

I think I may not have stated it correctly. Not choppy in the sense of a scene, I mean the camera is very shakey. The POV is shakey. Kind of like "The Mummy Returns." That movie almost gave me a seizure in some of the parts. I think the difference is the Mummy's shakey POV was more digital looking. Zombie's is more realistic. I don't mind the close ups, but I like more smooth camera work. That is just me. I would think it would work if not over done. If it is over done, the movie would look like it was shot with a camcorder. The Featurette is pretty good. I like the look of the Dee Wallace scene.

"Reinventing a classic....." Malek Akkad appears to be doing his very best to hype this as a bold new direction in horror. I actually think that the escape scene is pretty complete. If you listen to the sound it is synched pretty well to the action, which would not be the case if the scene was chopped.

Well I am telling you it's missing several shots. I've seen the film twice, so I know for a fact that it's not that choppy and confusing in the real film.

It has to be edited down, and with that, it's not a big deal to edit the sound/dialogue as well. There's no way they can show everything in that scene, it's too violent. I've talked to a few people who have seen it, and like the commenter above, they also say it's been edited quite a bit.

I think they still should've hit the stabalizer button on the "hand cam" during some of those sequences... Maybe it just the computer. I don't know.

Four new TV spots on the official website for those who are interested.

oh but sauron.. its way too short, its obviously cut. the sound is mixed perfectly for what you see. he wanted to show everything and thats way too fast of an escape.. it will be longer in the actual film, even b-d says so.

sorry for basically repeating you severedhand..

One thing is for sure: They really got the mask right this time around.

True enough. The mask in 5 has to be an all-time low.....

Looks really good.

sauron, the mask in 5 was a huge step above the mask in 4. the mask in 4 wasnt scary at all, it actually ruined 4 for me.

H1-perfect mask.........H2-same one, only a fat headed dick wore it.......H4-something you buy for $1.99.........H5-something you buy for $3.99........H6-somewhat better than the previous 2, but cheap looking nonetheless......H20-Roger Ebert was spot on when he said it looked like the french mime "Marcel Marceau".......H8-Once in a while, I see a white monkey looking at this thing, really hard to explain, although it does look good at a far distance...very far. Zombie's version is second best IMO, damn fine mask.


GoliathSlasher

agreed

you'd think it was fucking rocket science making a damn mask that looks somewhat closer to the original 2 films.

Btw...Nothing,i repeat,NOTHING will ever scare the pi** outta me more than a certain Bill shatner mask w/ a spray paint job,ripped off sideburns,and bigger eye holes....Thank you Tommy Lee Wallace

The mask in 5 and the H6 mask both blew. At least the one in H4 was pretty featureless. The one for the promo spots in Fangoria for H4 was awesome.
