Haha, no I don't despise him. In fact, I think he's quite talented. I found Halloween II terribly dull, overlong and cliched. I saw the theatrical cut, but I'm willing to give it another chance. I enjoyed Zombie's Halloween quite a bit, and wanted to like the sequel. Is the director's cut better, or should I watch the theatrical cut again?
The director's cut is, in my opinion, a masterpiece, and one of my favorite films of the last few years. It's also one of the purest depictions of despair and madness, and the lingering effects of violence, I've ever seen. Its sequel-original relationship with the first is also amazing, they really compliment each other.
