She was great wasn't she?
I suppose it helped too that I had never really sat down and watched the original all the way through. Seems many of the negative reviews on AintItCoolNews are mainly because of changes Rob Zombie made from the "classic". I've seen enough of the first one to realize this was a great departure, but I think it works well as it's own weird thing, kinda like the various different Batman comics each have a different take on the mythology. In the original the main character that everyone cared and rooted for was Laurie Strode, in this one it's Michael Myers. That's different enough for me!
***SpoilerS***
The only thing that I really didn't like was the studio ordered reshot ending where the dumb chick runs upstairs and hides instead of hauling ass somewhere. In the original ending those cops that showed up killed Michael right there in the front yard. At least that would have saved me from two minutes of ceiling smashing.
That and the fact that Michael is made to be so human and real yet he uses an almost psychic ability to find his grown up baby sister.
