"Michael Myers is a killer, plain and simple. He does his work without mercy, seemingly without thought, stabbing or stomping or smashing his victims' faces long past the point of death until they are empty not only of life, but even the faintest trace of humanity.
His first victim—already bashed and cut and spitting up blood from a car accident—is decapitated with a piece of glass, and we see Myers sawing fervently (the camera looks on from behind) at the man's neck. He later picks up the head and lets it drop in a field. Another victim, the stripper, has her head smashed into a pane of glass repeatedly. At first she screams, but when she's no longer capable of that, she just jerks. And then she's still and silent—dead—and Myers smashes her face into the shattered pane again.
What may be Myers' most horrific killing takes place offscreen. We hear scream after scream as we watch an unrelated scene. But not content to leave well enough alone, Zombie eventually shows off the victim—in a bathroom covered with her blood—gasping and gurgling her last few minutes of life away while Laurie holds her.
Myers kills at least 14 people and a dog before the end credits fade and his grim, cruel world is mercifully wrapped in black. Most he stabs to death. One he impales on a set of antlers. Another he crushes with his foot—his heel smashing repeatedly into his victim's skull until it looks like a smashed melon. He snaps someone's arm, sending the bone through the skin. He gouges someone else's eyes out.
Myers eats part of the dog he kills. He pushes a car off the side of the road and sets it on fire. He tears through a guard shack with an ax. A van hits a cow. A man pulls a gun on Loomis. The sheriff threatens and points his gun. Someone is shot a couple of times. The end credits feature cutaways to realistic-looking murder scenes, corpses and all. Some of the pictures look as though they were meant to be "taken" during the police investigation of Myers' killings, but not all. "
This, as I’m sure you’ve realized, is a summary of the gruesome, graphic, lewd, inconceivable and down-right sickening scenes that one could see in the newly released movie “Halloween II”. Can I just say....what… the… heck? I am honestly dumbfounded by Rob Zombie and his desire to create a movie like this. And I’m even more dumbfounded by people who would actually pay to see this kind of &*!$. Excuse the ‘language’. Movies like this literally make me sick…am I the only one? I don’t think I am, and yet it’s probably made a couple million in its first release weekend alone. I would love to see some sort of research done, comparing this exact movie to the hundreds of violent acts that may become of it. Perhaps I’m being too harsh, or judgemental, but when God says that our bodies are temples – He’s talking about the eyes & ears too. And no, I’m not saying that every person who sees this movie is going to go scalp someone, but just think about it…it just nauseates me so much to think that a movie like this will be worshipped without a second of consideration. Thoughts?
The following day we headed to Provost Bay on Mayne Island (I think) and did pretty much the same thing; explore, eat, tan (of if you’re me, burn), watch and laugh.
The following day, now Monday, we headed to Montague Bay on Galiano Island. We were only there for a few hours as we needed to head back in time for high tide. All in all, it was an awesome weekend – I finished two books, started a third, spent a lot of time thinking and praying and listening and reflecting – all while the fresh (salty) air flowed through my hair, haha. Idyllic, hey? I am very blessed to have been a part of that and I felt loved; even if my name changed 4 times throughout the weekend – my favourite definitely being “Lasagna”; thanks Ted!
