But the Myers character backstory and build up in the 2007 film was required. This served the basis for the sequel. Remember when Myers went to that strip club for revenge? I am not quite sure what you mean. The sequel– as was Rick Rosenthal's Halloween II-81'—started as a direct continuation of the same night. Myers was supposedly dead, wasn't, and was roaming the countryside to reunite himself with Laurie due to his psychotic visions of his mother. It was a simple premise, but visually strong, and in the best horror films style reflects the substance. Zombie excelled here I feel. The imagery, while dark, negative and even surreal in parts, was potent. I don't care for the first installment, so much of anything that it had on offer that could have been tied in with the second— and whatever it is is negligible to my mind—wasn't necessary. All we needed to know, is that Laurie was traumatized by her experience and Scout Taylor-Compton played her part with hysterical relish. I didn't like, or care for her or Annie that much in the first, but not so in this follow up for some reason. It's all subjective, but for me it all works beautifully. Zombie's redemption, from his turgid remake. |
