Review of Halloween (2007) by Steven — 03 Sep 2007
Rob Zombie has accomplished the very difficult task of taking a beloved classic and making it his own while respecting all that is so loved in the original. Much like the 2003 remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the filmmakers took the idea of the original film and made it different in enough ways to make it stand on its own.
Never boring, the film gives a different perspective on Michael Myers that is absent in the original. What it lacks in John Carpenter's suspenseful style and restraint, it makes up for in savage brutality.
What is most interesting about the new Halloween is how it is able to evoke some real emotional moments. I am a real fan of the original film, but I really enjoyed the new one as well.
