In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Like...This was suppose to be a remake right? But Zombie decided to definitely put some different twists into this. Like seeing Michael as a child when he snaps and is in a mental facility, following his escape, Etc. but idk man...like I just felt like I wasn't watching a true Halloween movie. It felt off to me. Even Michael capturing Laurie and just admiring her. Like this could have been a completely different movie all together and could have named it something else. I'd never go out of my way to watch this.

Don't compare Rob Zombie's Halloween to John Carpenter's Halloween. First off if you watched Rob's previous films you'll understand his take on violence is over the top. This rendition of Michael Myers is alot different from Carpenter's. This Halloween shows why Michael became the evil menacing monster he always was. Were as John carpenter's halloween gives you no explanation on why Michael is so evil the only explanation we do get is from Dr. Loomis. Now from a logical standpoint there is some parts of the film that make no since but its easy to look past them. But it's a very different take on the story Michael Myers so don't compare it to the original. Rob Zombie's Halloween it is own movie and its a great movie just not for some.

I respect Rob Zombie for approaching this Halloween remake with a more divergent and comprehensive design instead of using means of replication (for at least the first hour of this retelling). However, these new explorations pan out as eminently unnecessary and rather cataclysmic to the story of Michael Myers. Humanzing the character of Michael felt off-brand and almost betraying of the monstrous character that made him so devastatingly horrifying. It's strange though, because even though I didn't favor the changes Zombie was making to the story, I certainly wished he would continue to present more inventive themes that hadn't yet been explored in the Halloween lore as the film went along. It's unfortunate that the second half of the movie becomes a near copy of the original Halloween. If there's one fact for certain, it's that if you're going to remake a film, don't try to mimic it. Make it something different and fresh that could possibly further improve the lore. For the most part, I didn't enjoy any of the new portrayals of past characters (with the exception of Malcolm McDowell as Dr. Loomis) which is mainly because of the script that the actors/actresses were given. Conversations between many of the characters seemed vastly exaggerated and quixotic creating a sense of unbelievability that was quite bothersome. I didn't favor any of Zombie's directing techniques; nothing surely could compare to Carpenter's directorial style. As I was basking in the movie I just kept asking myself, "Why did this need to be made?" Well, the answer is simple: "It didn't." (Verdict: C-)

Rob Zombie might be able to direct but he can not wrote dialog. All of his characters all sounded like White Trash. They were so raunchy that you didn't care if they died. There was no sympathetic characters and no characters that 99% of the population could identify with! Now Rob Zombie fans will hate this review but his "Halloween films" were good then why are they ignoring them and going back to the original film? This could of been good had someone told Rob "Can you make some of these people different"
