When he is finally pushed over the edge, Michael decides to take matters into his own hand and eliminate each and everyone of his problems by course of murder.
After a small killing spree takes place, Michael is placed in a psych ward until his inevitable escape.
Written and directed by Rob Zombie. Starring Malcom McDowell, Sheri Moon Zombie, Brad Dourif, Danielle Harris, Scout Taylor-Compton and Tyler Mane as Michael Myers.
This movie came in midway through the "let's remake every movie ever" phase that all the large scale studios were involved with. Basically, if the original made them a decent amount of money or had a fair sized fan base, then it would be considered for a reboot and Halloween was no exception.
I was not looking forward to this one once I heard about it as I am a fan of the John Carpenter original. But my distaste for remakes wouldn't stop this one from getting made, so why even bother complaining about the inevitable.
But hell, was I ever wrong!
Rob Zombie is a pure genius, he not only made this remake work, he made is better than the original.
While sticking to the original film, Zombie reworked the story and gave Michael a strong background which gave the audience a sense of pity for Michael when he was being bullied as a child. That pity translated over to cheering for him when he was taking out some of his victims.
Clearly, I love this movie, there is no other way of putting it. The story was awesome, the casting for most of the roles were spot on (especially for the Sheriff and Loomis) and the kills were perfectly done.
Not really much else I can say about this without sounding like a huge ass kiss, so I will leave it at that and give this movie an 8 out of 10. It was amazing, not perfect but I can watch this one over and over again anytime.
