The entire appeal of Michael Meyers, up to a certain point, was the mystery that surrounded him. Zombie seems to be going out of his way to
all over that.
But, I'll definitely watch it. I thought House of 1000 Corpses was pretty horrendous, but The Devil's Rejects was really well-done, but judging from those two movies (as well as the videos he's directed), Zombie's strength lies in depictions of white trash as over-the-top grotesque monsters. I fear that he'll try to turn Michael Meyers into that.
He is also good at cutting the costs making movies, and studios like that. The Devil's Rejects had half the budget then House Of 1000 Corpses and it turned out better, and he didn't use the whole budget. I liked House Of 1000 Corpses though, it was creepy.
