Well, when i first heard there was gunna be a remake to such a classic film i was discusted!
but then i heard that Rob Zombie was doing it so my expections came pretty high.
even with Rob writting and directing the film, i still expected to see a mirror image of the film(like the sucky ass remake of the hitcher)
but to my suprise, it was the exact opposite!
almost the fisrt hour of the film is focused around his child hood and what drove young Michael to kill.
with what this kid went through at school and home its no wonder he went crazy!!!
what was also interesting about this version, is his relationship with baby Lori.
Lori or "Boo" as he calls her, and his mother are the only two people he ever cared for. infact

SPOILER:
when he goes to look for her in the second half of the film, its not kill her, but to be with his baby sister again...untill she stabs him and makes him mad.

but anyway, what i also liked about this version was that Michael was more "human"
in the other halloween films hes some crazy guy with the devil inside him, it was ok for awhile, until part 6 when they said that when michael was born, the curse of samhain was laid on his family to save other familes, which i thoght was BS!
Rob explained in like an hour what 7 movies never really bothered to explain!(i say 7 cuz part 3 isnt a "real" halloween film).
Ofcorse nothing out does the original but this one does pretty well. As much as i want to, i cant say this film stands on its own, seeing as the killer and the story are so familier, and though he made many changes to the scenes we would find familer you couldnt help but rember the past...thoght his twist on the scenes were verry creppy...
all in all Halloween is a great hooror film and without a doubt one of the better remakes ive seen of a horror film thus far...

Rob zombies Halloween
gets 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.
