Movie Reviews of Halloween - Unrated Director's Cut (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: Michael Myers
Summary: 5 Stars
I got the Michael Myers Unrated Directors cut today and it's excellent. We see Michael Myers human side and he also speaks too.
I also recognise the character called Danielle Harris who was Jamie Loyd in Halloween 4 and 5. The DVD has alot of extras in it and I am glad I got it. We also understad why Michael was angry because his homelife was a mess with everyone picking on him. He did love his mother though.
I give Halloween Unrated Directors Cut 5 Stars!
Movie Review: Variation on a theme of Carpenter/Tribute to horror fans...
Summary: 5 Stars
Rob Zombie's interpretation of the John Carpenter classic horror film "Halloween" is a much crueler variation on the traditional story. I found it to also be a tribute to horror fans.
The movie tells the story of Micheal Myers upbringing that planted the seeds of his homicidal mania. It was quite moving, in my opinion, as the parents yelled and screamed at each other in front of their infant child.
In many ways, the movie was also a tribute to the slashers of the '80's. I have never seen so many teens having sex and getting maimed for it since my '80's favorites, the Friday the 13th series.
The movie also had many horror acting favorites coming in for cameos, including original "Dawns..." Ken Foree, Rob Zombie fave Sid Haig, Sybil Danning, Danny Trejo as a sympathetic janitor, and several others... I really liked Malcolm McDowell's performance, as well as the grown up sister of Micheal.
Zombie also peppered the film with clips from classic horror movies, naturally Zombie's favorite genre. I was also very happy they kept the traditional "Halloween" theme song.
The murder's are atrocious, the story is good, and ultimately, Zombie took the classic and made it his own. And despite the fact that I agree that you shouldn't mess with a classic, they both tell a fine horror story.
Movie Review: An Insult to the Original
Summary: 1 Stars
This isnt Halloween, this is a Redneck Halloween wannabee...
This is what happens when people can't think of any new ideas. First try to copy and imitate the Texas Chainsaw Massacre with one movie... now do a remake of a classic and fail miserably.
What exactly does this have to do with the original?... This is Rob Zombie's warped version of a classic.
We have some twisted version of the 1970's with a family of Rednecks. Michael Myers is their child. You can see the kids face- There is no mystery in this at all- Then we have the same plot as the original with different things added. Then the story switches over to present day and the same old story except 10 times worse. Here we have Malcolm McDowell as Doctor Loomis and the lady from E.T.... Even these good actors couldnt save this mess of a movie.
The horror genre really needs to think up something new instead of recyling the same old movies and failing at it. You have the greats and then you have the copiers and imitators who end up trying to copy legends and failing everytime. This is another example of that. I strongly recomend you do not see this- it will disapoint you. This is one of those movies that makes you wonder if theres any real future for the horror genre.
Movie Review: Halloween on Acid
Summary: 5 Stars
Rob Zombie is the most gifted horror director of our generation. While watching this film it is apparent that he really cares for the material and the characters of not only the original Halloween but of other horror films. Hence the many cameos of horror veterans in the picture. This film is disturbing, bloody, and so damn scary that you won't be able to go to sleep afterward (at least I couldn't!) a truly worthy horror film in every way and a great tribute to an already classic film a must own for all horror fans!!Movie Review: Disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
I watched this movie based on my impression of the previous two Rob Zombie films. 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects were artfully crafted with a tremendous soundtrack to back a solid script and dazzling cinematography. Halloween contains none of these elements. There is literally no point to this movie. It's not scary any more than it is shocking. It's a meaningless blood-bath that I found myself bored while watching. The characters lack depth, the story lacks...a plot...and the imagery is nothing special.
