Review of Halloween (2007) by Billie P — 16 Feb 2016

We could all live without seeing Rob Zombie's remake of Halloween, although this isn't a bad film. It's just that there was no need to see the story told again. What this film does add, however, is the backstory to Michael Myers.

In the original 1978 film Halloween, Dr. Loomis (played by Donald Pleasance) alludes to the evil he saw in Michael Myers when he was a boy. He alludes to the way in which Myers went silent one day and then never talked for years and years. In the remake here you get to see it.

I don't think the film really benefits to tell the origin story, although I don't made that they made a remake. Just not my cup of tea. And for the record I don't doubt that Rob Zombie is a huge Halloween fan. It's just beside the point, as far as I am concerned.
