Review of Halloween (2007) by Joshua E — 13 Oct 2014
To be fair, this remake offered a whole lot more than I was expecting. But instead of relying on a subtle, creepy atmosphere, Rob Zombie goes heavy metal and shoves the gore in our faces. This isn't a compliment.
And he does the friggin' shaky cam during the scary scenes. I didn't dig it. Part of me wanted to really hate this remake, but what can I say? It was good seeing Michael again, and there were some scenes that were somewhat interesting.
Still, it doesn't hold a candle to the original. Stick to the classic 1978 slasher film that arguably started it all.
