Does anyone know the difference between Hellsing and Hellsing Ultimate? I bought the first series on Amazon Instant Video this afternoon, since I lost access to it when I cancelled Hulu. I read the plot for the second series, since it was right under the first, and the plot sounded exactly the same.

I don't hate the Rob Zombie films, in fact I like Lords of Salem alot. I just don't want my iconic horror villians "unpacked"(my lawyer likes to use this term) to the point where the mystery is gone. if you could remove the first 30 minutes of Halloween 1 it would be great. i like Halloween 2 better. its brutal and mean spirited.

Ultimate is ten OAV's that more or less faithfully cover the entire manga series.

Regarding Rob Zombie's Halloween, I personally do not like it, kind of hate it. But I think he was trying too hard to incorporate the original and his own vision as one. Halloween II, on the other hand, I do enjoy very much. But I believe that the sequel is its own movie where Mr. Zombie got to do his own thing without concern to a source version.

Re: 100 Movies. 31 Days. The 13th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/
A question aand an observation. I was watching 10 Cloverfield Lane last night as a first time view. I've been holding out on watching this one, and I thought it was pretty fantastic. I've got my checklist planned out pretty well, and I noticed that John Goodman's character was watching Pretty in Pink, and the scene he was watching had Harry Dean Stanton in it. Stanton isn't acting in Cloverfield, and he isn't credited in IMDB for it either. I'm not planning on it, but could one check him off based on this? This is pretty funny, as I had to pause the movie and see if my Stanton movie was Cloverfield. It's wasn't.
But seriously, that might be pushing it a bit, although I guess technically you could. I'd personally look for at least an IMDB credit.
And it's funny, I was considering suggesting it as a possible theme. Probably is better suited for the checklist though, unless it's expanded to any public domain horror film.

Tarantino doesn't get nearly as criticized as Zombie does, which I think if unfair. He tried to get away with saying he'd never seen City on Fire, after Reservoir Dogs came out.

I also might give them another try. But, like Trevor, I'm not very hopeful. I like one of Zombie's other films (The Devil's Rejects), but Halloween (1978) is a special movie to me. Possibly my favorite all-time horror movie. I just feel like Rob Zombie didn't understand the concept and his vision of what the Halloween franchise is doesn't match my own.
For me, the original was great because Michael Myers was an "everykid" from a normal home who suddenly snapped for no rhyme or reason. He was scary because you didn't know what drove him. There was no reason. He just killed because, as Loomis said, he was pure evil. He was almost mythic in that sense.
Rob Zombie just gave him the typical serial killer white trash backstory about killing animals, a stripper mom, and an abusive stepdad, and tried to make a simple idea more complex than it needed to be. Plus, all his characters talk the same, do the same things, and are basically extensions of his own self. He has no idea how to create unique voices and traits which make characters distinguishable from one another.
This is not to say Zombie doesn't have talent. I think his visuals are superb, but as far as his writing, it's cringeworthy to listen to at times.

Pretty much my response to Zombie's Halloween. Creatively, I didn't see the value of even having it be a Halloween movie (financially, I get why it was remade though).Wow. Evolution (2015) is 'the movie' for me this challenge, it hit all the right notes with a eerie fantastic story told in beautiful underwater/coastal cinematography that oozes atmosphere (maybe I'm just a sucker for aquatic movies) and has a premise that seems so original there's no telling where it'll go. The plot is just cryptic enough.
):Has anyone else seen the movie Evolution (2015 French art-house sci-fi/fantasy/horror, not the 2001 David Duchovny sci-fi/comedy). Just watched it on Netflix and trying to digest what I just saw. Looking at general comments online, it doesn't seem like anyone has any good answers. Which may very well be what the filmmaker intended.
Like the filmmaker's previous film, Innocence, there's the sense of a metaphorical look at puberty within the trappings of a mystery/fantasy/horror/sci-fi story (this time focusing on young boys instead of young girls). Like Eraserhead, there's a nightmare-like non-logic dealing with body horror. And at only 80 minutes, I can forgive the experimentalism and lack of plot cohesion. What I could make out of the story was [don't read if you haven't seen it, unless you want to be massively spoiled]:

If you're remaking horror and just going to make jump scares and rely on name recognition alone for your remake, yeah, don't bother.

Watching my first '90s movie of the challenge, Anaconda, which I don't think I've ever seen before. Funny to see Owen Wilson in a very early role.

Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones got famous and made a LOT of money ripping off old blues songs. By your logic both of those bands are shameless plagiarists as well (they also don't hide it). But I get it, believe me. You don't have to try to convince me why Tarantino is disliked; I see both sides. I'm just on the side where I'm a fan.

In regards to Zombie's Halloween, I know I've said this same thing in previous years. I would have liked his version a lot better if it wasn't Halloween. I didn't care to know all that about Myers' childhood. I preferred not to know, but if this were a totally original idea from Zombie with different characters, I likely would have been more open to it.
As it is, I would still probably rank Halloween as Zombie's best or second best. I think Lords of Salem benefited from him ripping off better movies/directors, but it still didn't feel fully realized. I haven't seen 31, but I know I'll see it eventually. All of his other films I have pretty much hated.

I liked the original series (Hellsing) back when it came out, but the later Hellsing Ultimate is pretty much the definitive version of the series. That doesn't mean you won't have fun with the first. There is a lot of content in Ultimate that doesn't overlap with the first series, so you can always watch that down the line later without treading the same ground completely.

Trying to get into some stuff I've had sitting on my shelves for years. I came across a bootleg of a short-lived show called Brimstone with Peter Horton. I don't even remember where I got this show, but the pilot was excellent.

Brimstone, another fine genre show callously murdered by FOX. I'd list the others, but it's too depressing.

This evening I watched A Field in England and really enjoyed it. I'm a sucker for experimental filmmaking, and this one sated my proclivities. It was strange pairing such an artful film with the cheesy ineptitude of Yongary, Monster of the Deep.

And Mother's Day makes the second Troma Blu-ray I regret purchasing. Watchable, but nothing memorable whatsoever.
Flesh-Eating Mothers was god-awful in every respect - wooden actors who had trouble reciting practically every line, the shittiest of makeup effects that made one cannibal mother resemble Cesar Romero's Joker. Loved it.
Inept film #3 was Cathy's Curse, which successfully managed to ripoff a little from The Exorcist, The Omen and Carrie. It had a bizarre made-for-TV melodrama feel about it with some of the strangest sound effects. Nothing serves any specific purpose. A beautiful mess.
