Reviews for Halloween
...a sometimes thoughtful reimagining...also plodding and brutal rather than horrific. The leaner, creepier original remains the classic.
08/31/07
Halloween is about graphic brutality and absolutely nothing more.
08/31/07
Once it steps into a remake of the Carpenter film in its second half, it loses its seriousness.
08/31/07
Pick the lamest Halloween sequel out there and you've just found a better movie than this one. At this point I'd rather see three new Uwe Boll flicks than anything Rob Zombie has to offer.
08/31/07
Zombie humanizes the killer only to turn him into the same slow-moving monster, adding nothing to the legend but grimier personal hygiene and improved stabbing technique.
08/31/07
... Rob Zombie's Halloween shines as a tribute to the slasher genre instead of proof of its passing.
08/31/07
A scrappy, semi-brilliant reawakening of a fabulous horror icon, and the best part about it? No Busta Rhymes.
08/31/07
Halloween is brilliant. It's a stroke of slice and dice genius.
08/30/07
This so-called reinvention doesn't cut it by a long shot. It is a foul-mouthed, soulless, low-rent slasher flick that mistakes graphic violence for genuine thrills and sex scenes for character development.
08/30/07
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.
08/30/07
How disappointing to see a film as callous, noisy and stupid as any of the other horror remakes that have been cluttering up multiplexes as of late.
08/30/07
So bad it aspires to the height of utter pointlessness that was Gus Van Sant's remake of Psycho.
08/30/07
The often-awkward original is worth about a tenth of its considerable reputation, yet when compared to Zombie's version it actually looks good.
08/30/07
It was probably asking too much to hope that Zombie would come up with a film that would live up to the high standards of the original, but what he has given us is so completely worthless that it pales in comparison to "Halloween: Resurrection"
08/30/07
Just the latest misguided attempt to recycle an old horror classic, replacing suspense and a sense of mystery with splatter movie cliche and heavy-handed backstory.
08/30/07
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
Although it's not saying much, this is director Rob Zombie's most impressive outing behind the camera.
08/30/07
Top CriticMany ambitious moviemakers have recklessly tread on John Carpenter's seriously hallowed ground anointed by the raving screen maniac's many fans, and found themselves sorely lacking.
08/30/07
Fans will be chomping at the bit waiting for the slaughter to begin ... it's hard not to walk away feeling disappointed about the return of Michael Myers.
