Non riesco a spiegarmi, neppure ricorrendo al mio indubbio masochismo, perché mi tenga in pari con la fulgida carriera registica di
Rob Zombie.
Davvero, è alquanto sconcertante pensare che gli unici due registi al mondo di cui ho visto proprio tutto sono Rob Zombie e
Stanley Kubrick...

Suppongo di poter sempre dare la colpa alle pregiatissime natiche della consorte
Sheri Moon Zombie, ed il fatto che in questo ultra-fetente
Halloween II compaia solo allampanata e vestitissima in una manciata di visioni non credo abbia aiutato a migliorare il giudizio del film.
Diciamo le cose come stanno:
Michael Myers inizia presto, finisce presto, fa un gran macello e di solito non pulisce il water. Ha inoltre la pessima abitudine di non riuscire a finire un lavoro che sia uno: lo ritroviamo infatti nuovamente intendo a dare la caccia alla sorella per un po' di sano ricongiungimento famigliare a suon di machete.
A contrastarlo, il solito branco di inetti e carne da macello, buoni giusto per allungare un po' il brodo.
Altro da segnalare? Proprio nulla, se non un
colpo di schiena finale piuttosto prevedibile e che verosimilmente verrà presto cestinato dagli inevitabili sequel.
Ancora una volta Zombie fa tutto in famiglia, ed oltre alla moglie richiama i fedeli
Tyler Mane,
Brad Dourif e pure
Malcolm McDowell (per la serie:
"solo gente che non aveva proprio altro da fare").
A livello registico Rob si dimostra talento eclettico e fa un altro film brutto, ma di una bruttezza molto diversa da quella dei precedenti: oltre al consueto
gore (gratuito e mal diretto), qui si punta forte sulla pura e devastante noia. Bella mossa, zio Rob!

Ci vengono quindi presentati una trafila di avvenimenti tenuti assieme con lo sputo, messi lì al sol fine di far durare ancora un po' il film e consentirgli di passare da una scena più o meno disgustosa (specie all'inizio) all'altra.
Per il resto, il nulla più completo.

Ultimi lavori: Biografia:Malcolm John Taylor was born on June 13, 1943, in Leeds, England, to working-class parents Charles and Edna Taylor. His father was a publican and an alcoholic. Malcolm hated his parents' ways and fought against it. His father was keen to send his son to private school to give him a good start in life, so Malcolm was packed off to boarding school at 11. He attended the Tunbridge Boarding School and the Cannock House School in Eltham, Kent. At school he was beaten with the slipper or cane every Monday for his waywardness. Whilst at school, he decided that he wanted to become an actor; it was also around this time that his love for race cars began. He attended the London Academy of Music and Art to study acting. Meanwhile, he worked at his parents' pub but lost his job when the pub went bankrupt, his father drinking all the profits. He then had a variety of jobs, from coffee salesman to messenger. His first big-screen role was in Poor Cow (1967), although his 2-minute scene was ultimately cut from the completed film. Soon after, he caught the attention of director Lindsay Anderson who cast him in the role of a rebellious student in his film If.... (1968). The film catapulted Malcolm to stardom in Britain but failed everywhere else. He was so enthusiastic about the film's success that he wanted to do another right away. He began writing what would become the semi-autobiographical O Lucky Man! (1973). Meanwhile, he starred as the infamous Alex DeLarge in Stanley Kubrick's controversial A Clockwork Orange (1971), a role that caused him to be typecast as a manic psychopathic villain. In early 1976, he spent nearly a year working on what would later be one of the most infamous films of all time, the semi-pornographic Caligola (1979), financed by Penthouse magazine founder Bob Guccione. Around that time, the British film industry collapsed, forcing him to flee to America to continue working. His first American film was Time After Time (1979). He then did Britannia Hospital (1982), the last part of Lindsay Anderson's working-class trilogy that started with If.... (1968). In the mid-1980s, the years of alcohol and drug abuse, including $1000 a week on cocaine, caught up with him. Years of abuse took its toll on him; his black hairs were now grey. Looking older than he really was, nobody wanted to cast him for playing younger roles. The big roles having dried up, he did many B-rated movies. The 1990s were kinder to him, though. In 1994, he was cast as Dr. Soran, the man who killed Captain Kirk in Star Trek: Generations (1994). He was back on the track, playing villains again. He played another in the classic BBC mini-series, "Our Friends in the North" (1996). Today, with more than 100 films under his belt, he is one of the greatest actors in America. He still doesn't have American citizenship, but he likes the no-nonsense American ways. He currently resides in the northern suburb of Los Angeles.
Trivia random: 13 of his films shown at retrospective tribute at NYC's Walter Reade Theatre in May 2002, where he introduces the least known of these, The Connection.
Citazione random: [On Rob Zombie] He's got a definite point of view. He has just done horror films because that's all they want him to make. For him to get out of that, which he will, is going to be tough. He is a far better director than a horror movie director. The way he looks at the material and the way he gives you reign but also gives you boundaries.

Citazione random: [on being asked if Halloween II (2009) is a remake of Halloween II (1981)] The answer is no. This movie has nothing to do with the movie that came out back in 1981. The only thing slightly the same is my film has a brief hospital scene at the top of the film and even that is 100% different. These are all new characters and all new situations. This is not a remake of a sequel, this is the continuing story of the Halloween (2007) I started. So hopefully that clears up that confusion.

Dourif, Brad
Nome di battesimo: Dourif, Bradford Claude
Data di nascita: 18 March 1950
Altezza: 5' 9" (1.75 m)
Coniuge: Joni Dourif::(? - ?) (divorced) 2 children
Ultimi lavori: Biografia:The character actor Brad Dourif was born in 1950 in Huntington, West Virginia, where his father owned and operated a dye factory. His father died when Dourif was 3 years old, after which his mother married Bill Campbell, a champion golfer, who helped raise Brad, his brother, and his four sisters. From 1963 to 1965, Dourif attended Aiken Preparatory School in Aiken, SC, where he pursued his interests in art and acting. Although he briefly considered becoming a professional artist, he finally settled on acting as a profession, inspired by his mother's participation as an actress in community theater. Starting in school productions, he progressed to community theater, joining up with the Huntington Community Players, while attending Marshall University of Huntington. At age 19, he quit his hometown college and headed to New York City, where he worked with the Circle Repertory Company. During the early 1970s, Dourif appeared in a number of plays, off-Broadway and at Woodstock, New York, including Milos Forman who cast him in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975). Although this film is frequently cited as his film debut, in fact, Dourif made his first big-screen appearance with a bit part in W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings (1975). Nevertheless, his portrayal of the vulnerable Billy Bibbit in Forman's film was undoubtedly his big break, earning him a Golden Globe Award for Best Acting Debut, a British Academy Film Award for Best Supporting Actor, and an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Skeptical of his instant stardom, Dourif returned to New York, where he continued in theater and taught acting and directing classes at Columbia University until 1988 when he moved to Hollywood. Despite his attempts to avoid typecasting, his intensity destined him to play demented, deranged, or disturbed characters, starting in Eyes of Laura Mars (1978), John Huston's Wise Blood (1979) (arguably his best performance to date), and Milos Forman's Ragtime (1981). Dourif then teamed up with director David Lynch for Dune (1984) and Blue Velvet (1986). His high-strung style also served him well in a number of horror films, notably as the voice of the evil doll Chucky in Child's Play (1988) and its sequels. Dourif broke from the horror genre with roles in Fatal Beauty (1987), Mississippi Burning (1988), Hidden Agenda (1990), and London Kills Me (1991). Recent film work includes the role of Grima Wormtongue in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Since his television debut in the PBS film The Mound Builders (1976) (TV), Dourif has made sporadic appearances in a number of television series, such as "The X Files" (1993), "Babylon 5" (1994), "Star Trek: Voyager" (1995) and "Ponderosa" (2001) (in the recurring role of Frenchy).
Trivia random: Was considered for the role of Max Cady in Cape Fear (1991),.
Citazione random: I'm a whore. If they have a check and camera and a script and stuff for me to say, I am mostly there, unless I just can't take it. No, really, I do like to work. It just depends on whether there is a whole lot of stuff for me to choose from, because if there is I am choosy. If there's not a lot of work, then I try to find some redeeming value in the parts being offered. If it is awful, then, of course, I can't do it. But I have to say, I am pretty lucky in that there are usually things coming in. That said, sometimes it is slow.
