Michael Myers is back. And no, you still shouldn't care.

Check your calendar, and then cross out Halloween--at least for this year.

The set-up is tediously slow, while the later murders are packed so tightly it's like watching a blender on high speed.
09/04/07
John Carpenter can rest easy; any self-respecting horror fan will forget this film even exists by the time the real Halloween rolls around this year.
08/30/07
A lot of modern horror has become more synonymous with horrifying rather than terrifying, the chief difference being the latter also provokes feelings of psychological unease.
09/04/07
Some may think it isn't fair to compare Zombie's film to the original. Too bad. It's called "Halloween" and I'm pretty sure it's a remake of a movie called "Halloween".

There's plenty of slicing and dicing here, and a few moments of tension toward the end, but this is mostly a workmanlike and uninspired remake.
08/29/07
Trick or treat? Rob Zombie's "re-imagining" of John Carpenter's 1978 horror classic Halloween must sadly be consigned to the former category and it's not even a very interesting, suspenseful trick at that.
09/04/07
Rob Zombie is a big ol' cinephile who lacks the chops to execute on the screen everything that's going on emotionally and intellectually inside his head.
09/10/07
Chokes the life out of a classic--and then runs it hard into the business end of a butcher knife.
09/07/07
Hideous beyond words ... Zombie has made the white-trash scuzbucket version of Halloween in which most of the characters are made to be as unkempt and sleazy-looking as he is.
08/31/07
Carpenter's original, a series of brilliant joy-buzzer jolts, treated the horror as a dark pop joke, courting our giggling disbelief. Zombie turns it somber.
08/31/07
...those druids are looking pretty darn good right about now...
10/14/07
The best that can be said about Rob Zombie's Halloween remake is that he makes it his own, though the considerable alterations only flatter John Carpenter's 1978 slasher-pic template.
08/27/07
Top CriticZombie's vision is a misguided effort to be all splatter.
08/31/07
Halloween is, objectively speaking and without thinking about the original, a crummy film. As a remake of the Carpenter movie it's a heinous abortion.
