You know how sometimes, hours after you had a very pleasant and delicious meal you burp and you can taste the faint aromas of that meal mixed with the unpleasantness of stomach gasses? Yeah, you know what I’m getting at….

– “The whore with the big tits hanging down her knees?” – “Maybe I’ll choke the chicken, purge my snork all over those flappy ass tits.” – “I hope she likes cripples.” – “Bitch, I will crawl over there and I will skull fuck the shit out of you! Oh, fuck you. Sit on my pole right now, bitch.” For the avoidance of doubt, Robert “Zombie” Cummings was 41 years old when he wrote this film, and not 14 like you’d assume. A stultifyingly artless, one-note, dull and overlong remake.

So that’s why Michael Myers stopped talking. Because everybody kept calling him a whiny little bitch as a kid. Gee, thanks for remaking this, Rob Zombie! I totally needed to know that!

I get more out of this with each viewing. What stands out this time is how powerfully it plays its first half against itself, how telling us about Michael’s background doesn’t demystify him so much as it underscores that even knowing the facts of a disturbed killer’s upbringing brings no true understanding of his broken mind. More troubling still is its insinuation, first with family and then with Danny Trejo’s unforgettable kind orderly, that not even relation or being “good to you” can stop what’s coming. The second half no longer strikes me as a functional retread of the original’s bloodletting but just as much a realm where Zombie distinguishes his approach. For one, despite the more aggressive violence, Zombie…

*Was a 34, now a 65* I may never love Rob Zombie’s first re-interpretation of Michael Myers, but I’ve grown to respect it a great deal. What keeps it from greatness is still its adherence to the original source in the second half. The origin of Michael, with the grimy detail of his home and school life, and the eventual massacre inside the Myers house, is brutalizing and acutely observed. I especially love the re-working of the ‘stand-still’ moment of the 1978 film, in which time seems to slow down entirely after Michael’s parents take off his clown mask. Here, time and motion is suspended as cops and reporters cover the crime scene, desperate for answers while Michael sits in…

like a lot of folks i’m not convinced Zombie does himself any favors by fleshing out Michael Myers’ backstory. he typically falls back on his cartoon trailer-trash rotten-tooth fetish, and frankly it just feels like an act. but when his Myers attacks it is punishing and simple, so much so that even the camera panics, shivering and scrambling for the nearest exit. there’s a great beat here as Myers enters the Strode house and shuts the door behind him and Zombie keeps us outside, across the street, in the quiet, just for an extra second. placid on the outside and frantic, unvarnished brutality on the inside.

The first forty minutes or so of Halloween are incredibly fascinating in how Zombie shows the creation of a serial killer with a level of cinematic equality not usually given to monsters. He draws upon sympathy with brutishness and the actions of Michael’s tormentors are simplified into a single voice of harassment, but his mother loves him. Sherri Moon Zombie plays Judith Myers and she is the avatar of our sympathy for a child who can’t be saved. We don’t know if she did anything wrong as a mother, but considering the circumstances she’s surrounded by it’s hard to blame her if she failed, because she did her best. Sherri has a warmness in these opening scenes that cuts through the dark and makes the inevitable seem tragic. That’s the greatest accomplishment in this flawed reshaping of Carpenter’s text.

Not a huge fan of this one. One-note dialogue, completely unlikable characters, and horrible editing (way too much shaky cam). Also didn’t care much for the backstory of Michael. It felt like the first third of the film is spent diving into things that we already assumed about why Michael is the that way he is. I will say, I did enjoy Tyler Mane’s performance of Michael. He definitely carries some more intimidation and menace, being as tall as an…

It was ok. I sometimes liked it. On one hand I kind of like that it’s a remake that recontextualises the original by making Micheal Meyers basically the protagonist. But also they add a whole backstory for him where he’s a little kid for the first 30 mins or so and it still doesn’t really tell us anything about who he is as a character. He kills people for no real reason it’s just who he is I guess. My favorite part was probably when he was a kid because that was the trashiest part

contrary to popular belief i do not simply fawn over every piece of media with michael myers in. i only like the good ones, which is… not many of the halloween movies. i quite like michael in this movie? he’s kind of childish in a way that is quite cute and i would say appropriate for a socially maladjusted child killer. i like the long hair too. it makes him look more imposing. unfortunately the movie itself cannot be saved…

J’ai assez bien aimé ce Haloween, il est d’une brutalité hors norme.

It’s been a really long time since I saw the original, so I can’t make a lot of specific comparisons to it. I appreciate that this made some formal choices to differentiate itself from that movie, but I didn’t necessarily enjoy them. Rob Zombie’s concussion-core style did not bother me as much as I expected it to. In fact, I thought I’d enjoy the kills and hate everything in between, but it was kinda the opposite. I found most of…

Alors que dire de ce film. Franchement ça passe c’est plutôt pas mal et il fait le taf, surtout la fin j’ai que j’ai bien aimé, j’aurais pu mettre 3/5 mais malheureusement dans l’ensemble, le film n’est pas non plus ouf mais il fait le taf. J’ai bien aimé le fait que ce film explore un peu plus le passé de Michael Myers. On voit un peu plus de scène de luis enfant ça explique pourquoi il est devenu comme…

Una prima ora folgorante, cruda, psicologicamente interessante, con una magnifica costruzione della storia e dei personaggi specialmente Micheal e il dottor Lumis. Sinceramente mi sono sempre chiesta quali fossero gli antefatti degli eventi narrati nel film di Carpenter e qui Rob Zombie da una sua visione, una sua interpretazione di questo personaggio estremamente enigmatico che ho gradito molto, anche grazie alle performance attoriali (quello che interpreta il piccolo Michael è stato perfetto, anche pk il ruolo non era affatto facile).…

I viscerally dislike this film. It’s probably the most morose, grimy and strangely juvenile Halloween film I have ever watched.

45 minutes of prologue is a little much

Rob Zombie is a once in a generation hack of a director.

Exactly what the original Halloween was missing: a full hour of backstory, and several shots of Michael Myers’s face.

Rob zombie quería hacer una película de la masacre de Texas y halloween sufrió por eso. Toda la primera mitad de la película es la típica historia del niño abusado que se vuelve loco y empieza a matar gente, esto además de ser uno de los clichés más explotados del cine, arruina completamente a Michael Myers como antagonista haciéndolo un loquito con máscara más del montón.

you can clearly see what rob zombie’s vision was here. to dive deep into the philosophy of michael myers and why/how the world made him who he is. its a pretty neat idea. yet it completely murders the typical slasher pacing and the dialogue and editing is really unpleasant. i knew from the opening scene that this was gonna be bad.

Une version beaucoup plus sombre et violente. Il y a des choses que j’aime bien, même si ce n’est pas forcément ma version préférée.
