Halloween

2007 Version, **.5, R

Rob Zombie sure does fill out this 2 hour long version of how Michael Myers the psychopath serial killer comes to be. He was tormented and bullied in elementary school, however, does this really make everyone turn into a murderer?

In the film he first beats to death one of the kids that torments him, and calls him names. His mother played by Zombie's wife, Sheri Moon Zombie (Obviously this is her stage name), is called into the principals office, and shown pictures of dead and tormented animals that they found in Michaels backpack. She is moritified, and talks to Mike about them, and he acts as though they aren't his.

Then that evening, Halloween night sometime back in the 70s his mother goes out for the night to work (she is a pole dancer by night) and he murders his mothers boyfriend, his sister, and his sisters boyfriend; he leaves his baby sister alone, and actually walks outside and sits on the porch steps with her, and eventually the paramedics, ambulances, and his mother arrive, to discover the blood bath.

He is then taken to a child psychiactric facility and stays there working with (Malcolm McDowell) until he is a teenager, and winds up breaking out, killing facility members, and officers, and heads back to his town, to create another bloodbath, and find his baby sister, who is now a young teen, played by Scout Taylor-Compton.

Many cameos in this film, including, one of the band members of the Monkeys and a former child star, and the psychopath actor that is the voice of Chucky, in creepy movie and classic 90s horror film, "Child's Play."

I watched this the other day it is a great remake of the classic Halloween movie, Rob Zombie makes this movie so much scarier and real.

John Carpenter's version is almost laughable if you watch the movie close you will see bloopers like people who are smoking blowing smoke into the shots etc.

Carpenter's "Halloween" is one of my all time fave films, but thankfully Zombie loves and respects it as well, and his remake, while more brutal/violent than the original, was still a decent watch. If I had any major complaints, it would be that he spends almost too much time showing us how Michael Myers became the serial slasher of today. It was actually kinda cooler when it was just a mystery. Besides that, once he gets all of the back-story out of the way, the rest of the film is kinda like watching Carpenter's movie on Fast Forward.
