Just watched Halloween remake by Rob Zombie the other day. Not bad. Was completely different from the original. Was interesting to see the whole story about Myers childhood.
You want to check out a good horror flick rent "Haute tension" also known as "High tension" French made movie about a love obsessed lesbian, it's bad ass. The murder scenes are great.
Hatchet, slaughter night, population 436, wrong turn & wrong turn 2 are pretty fun ones also.
People, please stop with the crusty old movies. : ) j/k
