Review of Halloween (2007) by Frankr. — 01 Sep 2007

I read what Cody K had to say and I felt the need to disagree. Rob wasn't facing his biggest challenge and he wasn't trying to make a classic. He made a movie the kept honest to the original, that showed respect for what Carpetner had done and he gave us a backstory to finally see for ourselves what Carpetner left to our imagination, the back story.

Seeing Michael as a child, wearing that mask for the first time was as creepy as anything in the original. Its impossible to redo a classic with another classic because the original is always going to be considered better but this film was as good as remakes get.

All you can ask for in a remake is that it keeps true to the original, only adds what is needed to complete the story and hope that its quality. This film was all of that, in my opinion. Zombie finally make a movie worth seeing, if you like horror films.
