 ABOMINATION!, 2008-11-19
I have to say, I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to films, especially horror films. I cannot say that I've ever sat through a film that literally made my head want to explode from severe pain. This is until I sat through Rob Zombie's Halloween.
I swear, I wanted to shut it off after the first ten minutes. What made me watch it all the way through.. I don't know. Chalk it up to too much curiosity, I guess. It was mind numbing! The dialog.. The acting.. The story.. I was shaking my head in disbelief. I couldn't believe how bad this movie was. Like some surreal nightmare. The worst pile of garbage ever to hit celluloid.
And this is coming from a big fan of Rob Zombie. I practically considered him my creative idol for a while. Man, what the hell was I thinking?! Mr. Zombie claimed he wanted to bring back Michael Myers to true form and make him terrifying again. He did the EXACT opposite. He made Michael into a JOKE! A walking, talking cliche. Laughable. Not scary or even remotely terrifying. Just one big joke!
And this all for a three picture deal. That was Zombie's only reason for remaking Halloween. To further his film making career, which should be laid to rest. I've lost so much respect for Rob, it's not even funny. As far as I'm concerned, he spit in John Carpenter's face with this failed attempt of a remake.
Bottom line.. You have to be completely brain dead to enjoy this movie. I'm sorry for be insulting but I can't for the life of me imagine how anyone could've possibly enjoyed this movie. It is utter trash. From beginning to end if you can make it that far without your brain completely shutting down.
Worst film ever made. PERIOD! Negative 5 stars.

 4/5ths of the way there, 2008-11-18
If Rob could have made the beginning (the white trash segment) have a darker feel (or less of a white trash feel) like the rest of the movie...I would give it 5 stars. I did love the violence and the blood though!
 awesome gift, 2008-11-16
This was a gift to a fan of the Halloween series. He loved it. Shopping this way is fast and conveinent.

 Decent If Not Special, 2008-11-09
While I was watching Rob Zombie's new "Halloween," I was truly amazed by two things: its length and violence. Having seen his films "House of 1000 Corpses" and "The Devil's Rejects," I knew what I was going to see in this revamped version, but I never expected he would spend so much time (more than 30 minutes) to show Michael Myers as a 10-year-old bullied boy (played by Daeg Faerch, who is certainly convincing).
I will not write here the details of his family; I only say it is not very pleasant to see, but maybe that is the point. Maybe Rob Zombie is just trying to give Michael a social background, something few people care. I am afraid it only deprives this horror icon of its superhuman presence. Tyler Mane did a very good job as grown-up Michael Myers, but the long introductory part that tried to (sort of) explain him has made the new "Halloween" just another serial killer movie.
And this film is very gory. It also has nudities (more than once). Not that I am complaining. Screaming Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton) is again chased by Michael Myers, and to his credit Rob Zombie has made each sequence competently, but that is all. What is shown here looks clichéd, familiar to those who have seen other slasher films, except the unique cast including William Forsythe, Danny Trejo, Bill Moseley, Brad Dourif, Richard Lynch, Dee Wallace, Sid Haig and Sybil Danning. Blink your eyes and you will miss Udo Kier and Clint Howard. (And ex-Monkees Micky Dolenz? Where was he?)
I have watched the original "Halloween" long time ago, but I still remember some of the film's scenes were really creepy. But they were not about Michael Myers as killing machine murdering his victims; they were about Michael Myers just standing in the street as if he is something supernatural coming from another world. From the strictly technical viewpoint, Rob Zombie's re-imagined version is decent. It is only that John Carpenter's vision is replaced by Zombie's relentless descriptions of violence, which was seen in his previous films. It was about time to move on.
Perfect!, 2008-11-06
Way better than the original Halloween.
This version completes the story, explain why many stuff are there and on that way. I liked it very much. Instead, the original 1978 version lacks something.
