The Director's Cut is a GOOD film.

The director's cut version is, objectively, a GOOD film. I agree it goes overboard with the symbolism, the hospital sequence in the beginning is probably a bit too long, and some people dislike the hobo aspect of Michael Myers, but the flick is CHOCK FULL of character development for Laurie Strode. She is a wonderful mess to behold. Not to mention, there is great chemistry and banter between Laurie, Annie, and Annie's dad(Brad Douriff), so that Annie's death scene, and it's aftermath, have a gut-punching impact. Not to mention, Loomis is an absolute pleasure to watch as an egomaniacal, sell-out, *beep*. Not to mention, the kills are probably Zombie's best, and most brutal. All these little ingredients come together to form this delicious soup of a film.
