Review of Halloween (2007) by Petros T — 05 Apr 2018

Rob Zombie's version of "Halloween" is sadly below the franchise's and his standards at their best. The first act showing us Michael's childhood is a welcome addition but it is apparent throughout the film that Zombie can't really bridge the obvious gap between the original's aura and his own personal style, and he is not aided by the messy editing.

All in all, not only this "Halloween" doesn't have the atmosphere or tempo of the original, it doesn't even rank as a particularly scary offering.
