Halloween 2 or The Final Destination?

[Zak]

Haven't seen either yet, but which would you prefer? Wonder who's bitchfight idea it was to release them on the same day.

I'll be honest I liked Zombie's version of Halloween, but TFD seems like it would be more fun/interesting.

MARK SPOILERS PLZ IF YOU'VE SEEN EITHER

I haven't seen either, but I voted Final Destination.
Rob Zombie's first Halloween was nothing special, and I can't see the second being worth the money to throw away on.

The Final Destination will have a great start. In all three previous Final Destination movies the premonition scene and its aftermath have been amazing and then it descends into stupidity. Though the death scenes are okay particularly the sunbed scene in Final Destination 3.

Like Ace I didn't particularly like Zombie's Halloween. The psychological aspects that differentiated it from the original Halloween made it somewhat interesting. But it went on for too long and to be honest I was bored in parts.

But if I was going to the pictures it'd be Halloween 2 that I'd watch. Leave "The Final Destination" to DVD.

Final Destination movies should be BANNED! There isn't even a villain. Its just people getting owned and maimed in deplorable, almost ridiculous ways. It is one of the scariest concepts of a movie i've ever seen and I refuse to watch them... :(

I voted for Halloween. I didn't see the remake of the first film but I really enjoyed House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Reject and the trailer for this new one looks cool.

I saw the first two Final Destination and enjoyed both. It's all about the set pieces in these films and it works. It doesn't bog itself down too much with a plot which while enjoyable makes them ultimately throw away films.

I actually don't care for horror films. They don't entertain me and don't scare me, so they're just usual a couple of hours of painfully bad acting and unconvincing gore and special effects that both bore and irritate me.

That said, TFD is meant to be good in 3D, so I'd actually go to a cinema with the 3D feature to watch it, if I liked horror films as much as you Zak.

The Final Destination, definitely. The Halloween remake irked me because, while not as much of a trainwreck fucking disaster as Friday the 13th was, it still fucked up the source material by having young Michael Myers be an abused delinquent and not the mysterious possessed-by-immortal-whatever-the-plot-was child of the original. Final Destination movies, on the other hand, have a 2:1 good-bad ratio. 2:1 > 0:1

I voted for staying at home and watching porn, cos I farking hate horror films. Saying that though, I saw Final Destination 3, and it amused me slightly, while at the same time further cementing my conviction that nothing in the whole world is ever gonna get me on a sunbed. Brr. *shivers*

There arguably is a villain, "death" is the villain. I'm not even being sarcastic... meh, you just gotta understand those movies to like them.

But what I can't stand is people complaining that "every one of them is identical". The point of them isn't to be a different story/concept/setting each time, that's Saw. They're all supposed to be the same idea, just new ways to kill people, new kinds of accidents, and new ways to indicate "signs". Also each time they come up with a new conclusion to "get around" it. You're never meant to expect a new story or direction with these.

Anyway okay, just saw Final Destination. It was alright, the 3D thing was fun at first but got old kinda fast.

I also didn't like how they kind of got lazy with the old gimmick use of the "signs" in random places and instead made Nick have more premonitions. Well, now that I think about it they made just as good use of the signs as they did in other films, but really, the movie would have been better without those "dreams". That was just insulting.

Still entertaining. 6/10.
