If you want to see an amazing film that focuses on the killer and his psyche, check out Maniac (1980). One of my all time favorites.
It bothers me, the whole idea of a remake, and this remake looks especially bad (though the worst remake ever is the shot-for-shot remake of Psycho by idiot Gus Van Sant; VERY pointless). And I have no hope for it to be good. Nothing about it looks or sounds good! But I'll still see it opening night, because I love horror movies. Sigh.
I just find it funny that, as popular as Zombie is, his films haven't been very popular (critically, Devil's Rejects was acclaimed, but didn't it do very poorly in the box office? And House did shitty, critically and otherwise), and it seems like this remake (which will NO DOUBT make a shitload of money, cuz, hey, everyone knows Halloween and will watch it regardless) is his final, dying grasp as a director. So, it should be interesting to see if he goes all out. And it's not like he's going to kill or ruin the Halloween series, since it's been shit since.. well, since the first film (though the second one is entertaining enough). At least Busta Rhymes isn't in this.
