I dunno, I just found that the female teenage characters aside from the lead, just had really poorly written and cheesy dialogue to work with. I also found them to be be a little too shallow and dumb, as if the writer was trying to hard.
What do you think?
I agree. Unlike the original which had Debra Hill write their parts, this was written by Rob Zombie a middle aged man with little to no idea how to write dialogue for teens except to make them trashy.

They probably did but from a rob zombie horror film with teenagers, what do you expect, in my opinion the film was no way a bad movie
shareIt had it's moments, but it's pretty bad. White trash backstory not the way to go. Cursing every other word, total destruction of the characters. Laurie was not the inappropriate type. Loomis was not a book writing money hungry self serving jerk.
He did the ftanchise no favors and it still has yet to recover.

The movie is pretty hit and miss, but the thing that bugs me the most (well, maybe tied with the kid who played young Michael) is the teens' dialogue. I mean, some of it is pretty cringe-inducing. And it's not just their dialogue, it's the way they're written. I feel as though I've mentioned this aspect of the movie being the most bothersome to me many times when discussing it.

Agreed, Realrocker.
I would say the teens were poorly written...especially Laurie, considering she's the main character. Who talks to their mother the way she talked to her mother at the start if the film--people in upper middle class homes at least. Pretending to have an orgasm? Her voice and expression just grated on me the whole movie. I'm not sure if that's the actresses real voice...or if she was putting on that annoying-ass goo-goo, baby, mentally incapacitated, fake good-girl voice...but it was awful and distracting.
