Before anyone starts asking "whats missing from this workprint" - how the fuck would we know ? - the movie doesn't come out till Friday- so please dont ask stupid questions- its a workpring its bound to have different scenes / ending than that of the threater version- so go and see it- now on the release

pretty good for a WORKPRINT- has the "Property Of" blur out but the DVDR doesn't so its the same source- this of course doesn't look interlaced (DUH) but the DVDR doesn't look interlaced on my TV so its all good

judging from sample

Video-8
Audio-8
Movie-9+

Video: 9/10 small blurred message at top, dont notice after a while
Audio: 9/10 missing some effects
Movie: ?/10 havent watched it yet

V-9
A-9
M-?

I didn't care for the blurred box, I'm sorry I love you guys, but like I've said before it just feels to me like an old porn movie hiding the eyes so you can't tell your slutty ex is in a movie. Everything else is good though.

M-7

v: 9 blurred out watermark at top, nice video otherwise
a: 9.5 great sound
m: ?? still have yet to watch, excited for this one!

Good version.
Blur at top, not very noticable.
9/9/1

WTF? ANOTHER movie Hollywood should have left the fuck alone.

Rob Zombie completely fucked up the whole appeal of the original Halloween. Michael Myers is a supernatural force. This movie completely destroys that great premise and makes him (yet another) fucked up mass murderer.

Zombie should give movies a rest. Beg the rest of White Zombie to get back together and try to make a decent record. This faggot has issues and shouldn't force his therapy on unknowing movie viewers.

Maybe he just needs a hug...

Complete shit. Hopefully it will tank at the box office and he and similarly untalented jerkoff Eli Roth can have some elaborate (and highly publicized) murder suicide pact.

If he doesn't fuck that up too.

noone cares about your opinions, nor your personal agenda. rating the movie a 1/10 just for being a remake is silly. I'd lay a 10 spot down that you didnt even watch it.

anyway. 9/8/?

I love a workprint, need to get bourne but i didnt watch any of bourne series, either way with this rls, its one of the better wps ive seen in a bit, not like many come out, but still, i appreciate it, and I hope in the end it has a few cut scenes

Audio is good enough, not fantastic but very easily do-able...

will watch the original DVDR when I get it in about an Hr, but the sample for this xvid looked great for what it is

7/7/?

i need to revise to rate as a WP not as i did b4 mostly, 9/8/?

Impressive. Very impressive. Video, audio, movie. Workprint? Opens this Friday? Kudos to mVs. Just try to be around more often.

9/9/8 “...is pure evil.”

8/8/7

9/9/7 not bad

Great release, bad remake. Watched today. Watched the original last week for the first time. I'm not sure Rob Zombie understood why people actually like the original. The remake's script is terrible, some of the performances are awkward and too many scenes are played for comedy. A huge mistake is that the people Myers offs are so unlikable, it turns him into a hero. No supernatural undertones either. Just retarded.

8/8/3

9/10/9

Workprints rule-ass, and I guess I'm in the minority, but I like the Rob Zombie film skills.

Kudos to the mVs, and the other fuckers who released the DVDR.

8/8/4

V - 8
A - 8
M - 7 so far

I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but I like what I've seen so far. I didn't like Zombie's other crap, but I say he's redeemed himself with this.

V - 8
A - 8
M - 6 Not as good as the original but it was never going to be. Still it is good value and worth a watch

Liked the movie

9/9/9

IMO the movie is fine, Rob Zombie did a fine job of this remake. The original was scary when I was 12, but now just seems goofy. The intensity of the killing scenes is great.

V-8

A-8

M-6 Nowhere near as good as the original. The original movie just scared you with no gore, just plain suspense. Rob Zombie uses gore to try and frighten viewers.

In Robs defense its more of a prequel then a remake.

V-8
A-7
M-7

To me, this movie looked more realistic than the original.
But I kinda wish Myers would use more techniques in killing. Like break the back, twist the neck, or even throwing them across the room and landing on something sharp. He just stabbed people with the kitchen knife.

According to Dark Horizons the WP is vastly different to the final release

This leak is more interesting in that it's the film's 'work print,' the version shown to test audiences back in June which was panned and lead to a rushed week of reshooting to change the ending and "beef up" the gore quotient (allegedly six more deaths were added in).

Not only does it imply somebody in the production process leaked it (rather than exhibitors or audience members with cameras), but also gives insight into the test screening process as to what about the film has been changed.

Right off the bat for example, the 'sample clip' being offered with the torrent shows off a disgustingly brutal gang rape by guards on a female prisoner in front of Michael. It's a scene that is non-existent in the final film in theatres, replaced by a thankfully tamer 'escape scene'.

I just watched this, and i have mixed feelings on it. The deaths were unoriginal, the characters were shallow and undeveloped, the ending anti-climatic and uninspired, and i think Zombie humanized Myers too much. The opening sequence with the Myers family was way too long, & it kinda took away from Myers character rather than add anything. He isnt as supernatural now as he is in the original, more like your every day serial killer. After the backstory, the movie is pretty much ripped scene by scene from Carpenters masterpiece (down to Myers dressing as a ghost with the glasses over his sheet) At the same time, seeing "The Shape" again was nice and the acting wasnt too terrible. All in all i really hope the producers cut is better or else this film will go down as another below average hollywood remake.

They did a good job with the watermark and the movie was pretty good.

Got to love having people on the INSIDE.. saw this copy yesterday looks great havent' watched it yet..

8/7.5/?

Cool that this is a different cut than what will be out on Friday.

I mean, as cool as it'd be to have the version the masses will see this weekend, it's cooler having the cut only a handful saw (and derided, though really it isn't bad) earlier on.

7v/8a/6m

V=9
A=9.5
M=4

Long on gore, short on suspense....

Looks and sounds really good Picture is great quality and sound is very clear/loud, a bit loud on effects. For a workprint this is topnotch. Little blur but doesn't take away from the viewing experience. I saw a few parts that were out of the ordinary but nothing too noticeable. This release is from 5/??/07 (I don't remember the day off the top of my head) so would imagine some things have been changed in the final cut. Will be watching this tonight and seeing it at the cinema. Was hoping for this. Thank you.

Edit: Really a good movie, loved it. Not a lot of suspense, but highly entertaining. I like how it's somewhat of prequel, really gives you insight into his life as a child. Can't wait until Friday.

Great video - bright colors and sharp. Audio was great too, although i had a filling the copy was taken from a sound lab during the finishing process.

The Original movie was great, so this remake has big shoes to fill - will watch it tonight.


9/8/?

V -8 - DUh workprint A/R ?

A- 8 - NOT A CAM

M - 9

Watched this and then the DVDR. Thanks to MVS for coming back and starting things again.

If you don't like this version then wait til friday and go see it at the movies.

If you can do better please bring it!

Older people wil appreciate it more than the youngings.

V:8 A:8 M:6

Agree with some of the above comments. Zombie tried to add extra back story with the first part of the film but all we see is a short fat kid that looks like a girl with girly long hair that somehow becomes Myers.

The second half of the film is the best bits from the original ripped off. I feel if you've seen the original it ruins it.

Overall its not bad but not particularly great either.

No real problems with the release except it gets really dark at the end and you really can't see what's happening.

I'd say fuck yeah thanks mVs for an awesome Pre-release. Quality is great.

but i do admit for a workprint its good

8/8/8

Watched it Thurs. 9/9/8

Great vid, and aud. I don't recall the oring. but this version was decent. If there were to be a Halloween 2, I don't see it. Basically killed off the character. It was kept in limited areas so not too bad. I just we need a TS now of the Final film lol

Watched this last night on a standalone DVD player, 36 in Sony TV and Sony Surround Sound system-

The video is good for a work print I guess but the blur is annoying and does spoil the odd scene where you can't see someones face for example. Audio was good but I kept getting volume changes in some parts. Could be me though

This movie is the worst thing ever to have been created. For a start it's not a horror it's like some child psychology documentary. You aren't meant to sympathise with the killer! Zombies movies have always been crap, shame because I wanted him to make Werewolf women of the SS but now I wouldn't even go see it. This movie is a kick in the face to the history of movies. The acting is awful, direction awful, everything is awful.
