He's not a bad director. He's a bad writer and storyteller. His movies don't have characters you want to root for in any way. House of 1000 Corpses was fun and kind of original half way through and then it sucks after that. 31 is pure garbage.

Well, if he didn't remake Halloween someone else would've.
Yea, they should've hired someone who actually knew how to make good horror films instead of cheesy porn flicks.
I personally found the backstory of Halloween to be rather realistic. If you read about real life serial killers what most of what they have in common is rough childhoods. They are often bullied at school and abused at home.
except Rob Zombie didn't even do it right. He made his characters swear like every 5 seconds and made unnecessary sex jokes that weren't even funny. The movie overall was childish. It's something that only "badass" high school boys would like and say
"OMFG D00D DIZ MOVIE IZ LIKE SO KEWL N BADAZZ CUZ IT GOT BLOOD N TITS N PEOPLE SWEARIN!"
Anyone who watched House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects should've known what Rob Zombie's directing style was like. I don't know why anyone was surprised it turned out the way it is.
So? The point is Rob Zombie made a shltty Halloween movie, I could care less about the movies he made prior to that. Look at Paul WS An16d0derson, no one likes his
Resident Evil
and
Mortal Kombat
movies. His movie
Event Horizon
was pretty stupid too. But when Paul WS Anderson made
Alien vs Predator
, people still hated on him. It's fact that Rob Zombie remade a horror classic and fvcked it up that pissed people off.
Don't be mad at Rob Zombie for making a Rob Zombie movie, be mad at the studio who hired him if you have to be mad at anyone at all.
LOL Are you fvcking dumb? That can be said about any shltty movie then. Oh yea sure, when you watch a stupid movie, don't blame the writers or director, just blame the studio, right? People shouldn't get mad at Zack Snyder for making
Batman v Superman
, people should get mad at Warner Bros instead, right? Gtfo.

If you read about real life serial killers what most of what they have in common is rough childhoods. They are often bullied at school and abused at home. I don't see John Carpenter's Michael Myers and Rob Zombie's Michael Myers as the same character anyways. The supernatural, unstoppable killing machine works out for John Carpenter's Michael Myers just as the more human one works out for Rob Zombie's Michael Myers. Both are good, just different.
Either way, his last Halloween was released over 7 years ago so it's time for people to get over it. It isn't like the originals stopped existing once Rob Zombie's remakes were made. People are going to be angry at him about it forever. Anyone who watched House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects should've known what Rob Zombie's directing style was like. I don't know why anyone was surprised it turned out the way it is.

Thank you!!!! He is ridiculous to the extreme. He ruined those Halloween movies. The originals were actually creepy, and semi scary. He just tried to make them "cool", and "rock & roll" scary. Not ACTUALLY scary. He's an idiot.

Thanks god, I thought I was the only one feeling that way. His Halloween remake was such an awful piece of beep And The Devil's Rejects is one of the movies that are usually praised by people and that I really don't get it. It was just one of the most disgusting movie with the most abysmal characters that I have EVER seen. Like you say, he tried too hard to make hardcore stuff, but when all I want to do is to smash my screen because his characters are so pukable, sorry, but this is not what I call a tallented filmmaker.
