Christopher WaldeckHalloween 2 vs. The Final Destination
July 23rd 2009 02:02
It's the battle between two very contrasting horror films. One is a remake from a music video director who should really stick with just music which is Rob Zombie, and David Ellis who brought us the epic masterpiece known as Snakes on a Plane. Insert bad joke here. These two directors are holding the fates of whatever is not destroyed of the halloween franchise and what cheesy death scene hasn't been done yet with the Final destination.
It's interesting how both of these films are opening on the same day August 28th 2009. it's as if Hollywood is testing us on which franchise we love more and want to see shamelessly remade for their glory and which one we love so we can ignore it and watch it disappear with it's dignity.
We know that Halloween 2 is going to be ridiculously brutal and bloody as was Rob zombie's remake. We know that Final destination won't be as bloody, but will have graphic and bloody parts that are stylized and more creative than your usual hack and slash. So which one do you think will be the bigger success at the box office.
I loved the first two final; destination movies and the 3D horror is usually good especially if you count My Bloody Valentine 3D. So The Final Destination in 3D should be awesome with plenty of Michael bay like effects and close calls with explosions and flying scrap metal.
The halloween series seemed to die after Resurrection and was merely gored up and nearly destroyed with Zombie's remake that did nothing for the series. However, its always good to see a Michael myers serial killer movie. The fans nowadays barely remember half of the Michael Myers movies except for the new garbage sequels and remake.
Overall, I have a feeling that The Final destination will win at the box office this time around. Sure halloween is a classic horror series, but these new remakes will never live up to what it once was. I feel that Halloween should just rest and it's legacy preserved with John Carpenter. Some other movies should have a chance rather than remaking a long franchise.

Halloween on the other hand, after ruin sequels and horrible plots got humorous, as well. RZ in 2007 put his twist and graphical content in the first remake and angered most of the crazed fans attached to this franchised. By saying that, Halloween did in many ways resurrected in RZ version, making everything more dirty and gritty, and breaking a record upon its release.
It’s hard to say if it will break another record but as it reveals both films are equally competitive with the next . . . and hopefully we are treated to two utterly flawless horror films rather than two horrible sequels, that too many people paid to see in theatres.
Lets just hope for the best for both films. That will benefits us all.
