Watch This: You’re Sure Halloween 2 Isn’t Direct-to-DVD?

The fine, bloodthirsty gentlemen over at Bloody-Disgusting have unveiled a brand new, unused trailer for the upcoming Rob Zombie directed horror film Halloween II this evening, and it’s got me wondering about the nature of this film — is it supposed to be funny? Because I seem to be laughing.

The unused trailer — seen below — is full of potential spoilers, so be warned. As well — and I know I’m going to catch some heat for this as some of this footage is obviously unfinished — the film appears to be shot like something we would see from The Asylum, something that you might see going straight to DVD. It is poor, just plain poor. So bad, in fact, that I wasn’t engaged enough to glean anything from this trailer about the plot or whether or not this film will deliver the scares that the first one so sadly missed. What I do know is that Michael Myers is coming back, he’s doing it because of a “stupid holiday” and he still hasn’t learned to stay out of that damned mirror. Then again, no one ever accused him of being an efficient killer.

For more, please check out the video for yourself below. Personally, I will be searching for a way to get these precious minutes of my life back. Halloween II is in theaters on August 28, 2009.

  • IT looks like it should go direct to DVD. Not impressed BUT horror is not my genre at all. I miss all horror movies on purpose. Nothing original in horror these days.

    What are you talking about? This trailer looks great!

    I think this trailer looks great. Yeah, there are a couple of things in it that I'm not sure work. Overall, though, this trailer has made me more excited about a film I originally cared nothing about.

    Wow... this trailer rocks compared to anything I've seen from this trailer that Zombie promised not to make. And I hated his remake so... you're obviously not seeing the trailer that the rest of us are.

    That was a good preview. Get off your high horse.

    cheers mate
  • Yeah this is going to be complete shit. After seeing this film, I'm sure I will be going back to the original Halloween 2, wishing Zombie could have made at least half as good as the original H2!

    No idea how the movie's going to be - but this trailer looks awful. Probably why it was unused in the first place. But some of the line delivery is just about as flat as you can get. Help. I'm trapped in here. I promise I'll be back in just a second. Ugh.

    But it doesn't look direct-to-DVD. More like a Lifetime Television Movie.
