 Product Description
The early 2000s have seen a string of big-budget remakes of classic horror films. In addition to THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and THE HILLS HAVE EYES, John Carpenter's benchmark slasher flick HALLOWEEN has been given a new-millennial overhaul. At the helm of the project sits rocker Rob Zombie, whose previous films, HOUSE OF 1,000 CORPSES and THE DEVIL'S REJECTS, brought a fan's touch and an auteur's vision to the director's chair. ...See Full Description

| Very dissapointed
I was really looking forward to watching this film when it got released in cinemas. I was wondering how Rob Zombie was going to be able to direct a remake of the classic 1978 John Carpenter version which shook up audiences and changed the face of the horror genre. When I finally got a chance to watch this film I was extremely disappointed. Rob Zombie's adaptation of Halloween completely ignored the elements of the classic original which garnered on suspense and atmospheric feeling. This version of Halloween is just plain stupid with too many unnecessary scenes, poor acting, too much blood and gore, pathetic dialogue and no suspense whatsoever. I just wonder how John Carpenter must feel watching this new adaptation of Halloween which goes into to much unnecessary detail and contains over the top scenes with no meaning whatsoever. John Carpenter created one of the greatest horror films in history with the conventions of creepy music and suspense. Rob Zombie created one of the worst horror films in history with the conventions of sex, drugs, unnecessary scenes and pointless dialogue. The only thing good about this remake is that we got to find out about Myers childhood and why he became evil. Once Rob Zombie ran out of ideas and things he could do to help improve the movie, he just continued letting Michael Myers keep killing people in order to please the blood-thirsty, new generation of horror fans. Instead of applying his craft and trying to recreate a classic horror film with smart and intelligent elements like John Carpenter and Debra Hill were able to do, he just created a pointless horror film which is a critical failure. Overall this film is an artistic failure full of crude and pointless scenes which only blood thirsty, die hard Rob Zombie fans will enjoy. If you want to watch the real Halloween, I suggest you watch John Carpenters version, the classic 1978 version of Halloween.

| Great
This version of Halloween had more blood and gore than John Carpenters 1978 classic original. It also had more nudity and language and is definately for a modern horror movie fan. I think this remake of Halloween was very well done, but I don't believe it had the suspence and moments of the original. Once Rob Zombie ran out of subtext is was just more killing and more blood. The acting was very good and the actors really committed to there role. The plot was also great and gave us more background of Michael Myers clidhood and life before he was disturbed and evil. This movie is a great addition to the halloween legacy and is worth watching. However it wasn't able to top the original.

| Best remake in a long time!!!
After hearing the news for the remake I was really happy to know that Rob Zombie was directing the movie, instead of some stupid director like Jonathan Liebesman or Glen Morgan thank god!!! The only scene I didn't like was the rape scene he should have kept the origonal scene with Bill Mosley!!
