Im also curious…the “horror fans” that are so bothered by the brutality, nudity and swearing on RZ’s films…what do you think of classics such as I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, NY RIPPER, MANIAC, BLOOD SUCKING FREAKS and the countless epic horror films that embraced that type of aura?
I really scratch my head and wonder how it is that HORROR FANS are complaining about HORROR attributes on a HORROR forum. Or is it that you just dont want to see Halloween films with gore, cursing, and boobs. Pray tell…
You people have misdirected anger for hating these latest Halloween movies.
BLAME MALEK AKKAD!
Why blame Rob for his vision? He was hired by Akkad for his vision, name, talent and shock value. All you have to do is look at Rob’s previous films and know where the series would go to, even as a producer Akkad saw it and wanted it for these films.
Just imagine where the series would go if Eli Roth got ahold of it.
As a producer, you have some sort of VISION and you want that vision to go from the paper to the screen and you have to find the best person possible to do that…
Akkads vision was these extremely violent films.
Good point that no one brought up…directors all have their own style and mark…RZ, Eli, Quentin. Im a huge RZ fan, and I enjoyed his Halloween films because I like my horrors to be raunchy, gritty and brutal for the most part, thus I enjoy his films. That being said, I still acknowledge that Rob was not the right choice if the goal was to preserve the feel and mythos of the original. But thats who Malek wanted.
Personally, for the next installment, I’d rather it not fall into the hands of any “horror” director. I’d love to see Jonathan Demme give it a go! 
I didn’t. You were bothered by the nudity in his films, yet you fail to mention the various other examples of nudity throughout the franchise. There’s no more nudity in his Halloween films than in the rest of them, but they still get singled out for whatever reason.
I really don’t know when horror fans became such prudes about nudity and sexuality in these films. We’re able to watch the most violent images that cinema will allow, but show a naked woman on screen and suddenly people grow a conscience about what they’re watching. I really don’t get it. Sex and death have always been intertwined in the horror genre, so why are we suddenly turning against that?
