Dont listen to the nerds

Review by Clockwork Black, 2010-08-20

First off, lets be honest here. Alot of the negative reviews here are done by the same type of sad, disgruntled, fanboys who cant wrap thier minds around the fact somebody remade something they liked. These types of people usually have no life to speak of, so they frequently engage in the ultra constructive act of saying essentially "this movie sucks cause its a remake".
Some of the negatives are from bandwagon jumpers who remakes because other people do. These types are disgruntled for a diffrent reason. They are disgruntled because disgruntled seems cool. They read posts from the above mentioned group and (for some reason) think it makes them more of a pure horror fan to hate remakes. It dosnt, it just makes them close minded and dumb sounding.

Im not saying everybody has to like it. But be honest, alot of you only saw it so you could return here and pick it apart to make yourselves seem smarter or more elite by hating it. Grow up.

Heres a reality check for you. And I cant stress this enough. The original still plays. No matter what Zombies version is, the original is still there. Nothing is going to change that. So, knowing that, whats the big deal? Does your life really suck so bad that somebody makeing a movie upsets you that much? If so, I really feel bad for you.

Now that thats outta the way.

Let me start off by saying the original Halloween is my favorite movie of any genre.
Ive seen it more times than I can count, its tradition on Halloween night, has been since I was 13.
Zombies version isnt as good. But its unfair to compare one movie to another, even if it is a remake. It saw it with an open mind and based it soley on merit. And based on merit alone I liked it.
The back story of Michael Myers was handled pretty well I thought. Most people focus on the white trash aspect of it. I fouced more in young Michaels slow descent into insanity as well as his mothers slowly breaking down, finally cracking.
All the actors involved turned in good performances. Mcdowell, Mane, and Compton were all great as the 3 principle characters in the latter half of the movie. The only gripe I had was that the end seemed to drag a little. The ending itself was alright. I did like that Laurie seemed as crazy as her brother for a second.
Far as the direction goes it showed Zombie growing as a film maker. The use of the camera was a step up from his last two efforts. This movie was beautiful in places, depressing and gritty in others.

All in all, a worthwhile effort all the way around. It isnt the original Halloween, but it isnt trying to be. Open your mind and give it a shot.

Remake

Review by Joseph Adams, 2010-08-04

This is a remake of one of, if not thee most succesfull independant films of all time. It's all hype; Rob Zombie is a bad director. I would rate it higher but it's very unoriginal and not scary. This is like a parody of Halloween and it's own cliches. Worth a rental though just to see a little something.

i liked it a bit more than the original version (3.5/5)

Review by falcon, 2010-07-26

prior to watching this movie,i'd heard people say that director Rob Zombie had butchered the franchise with his take on the Halloween lore.i don't share that viewpoint.i though the movie had a lot of good points to it.i thought the casting of Malcom McDowell was genius.he plays his character tongue in cheek,and really i think that's the whole tone of the movie.and it worked for me.there are some serious parts and the movie even has a moral,but it doesn't hit you over the head with anything.the violence is more sudden and a bit more graphic than the 1978 version.the acting is better in this movie,i think.the actor who played the grown up Micheal Myers(the psycho) is very convincing.and the child who played young Michael Myers is perfect for the role.the movie does tend to be slow in spots,but i still think it is a better movie than the original version.there is a lot of crude language in the movie and a fair amount of nudity,so be warned.for me,Halloween (2007)is a 3.5/5

Rob Zombie couldn't cut butter with a hot knife!

Review by adam wood, 2010-06-20

i love this movie! i love the Carpenter original & i love the Zombie version - that being said: the Director's Cut is horrid! do you remember when "Unrated Director's Cut" meant that you would get the theatrical version, only with added blood, nudity or just some extended scenes? i do, but apparently Rob didn't get the memo! he absolutely destroyed the movie with the "Director's Cut". please, for the love of Michael Myers, if you saw the original version in the theater & liked it, buy that version & stay far, FAR away from the train wreck that is the "Director's Cut". i'll save you some time & give away the main difference/problem: if you want to make Myers an evil villain, who everyone is afraid of, don't change his escape - which was a rampage on innocents - to him killing two moronic rapists who had it coming.

post script: the opposite works with Zombie's Halloween 2 - the theatrical was a failure, but the Director's Cut was great.
