All reviews by user Date  Helpful Rating 0 out of 0 users found this helpful  Halloween 2007Being a horror fan since I was 4 years old, I grew up with all the classics, "The Fog, Halloween, The Shining, Day of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead. Basically every Stephen King, George Romero and John Carpenter film just to name a few of the true "Masters of Horror". So hearing of Rob Zombie's goal of remaking this classic I knew it would go one of two ways. Any director attempting this huge of an undertaking would either stay true to the story and bring it into this generation and therefore need to pull out all the stops to really do it justice. OR they would have to completely reinvent the wheel and try to make it their own version. The later of the two would have truly been a disaster. Rob showed how true a film maker he really is, I'm not big on his music, not saying he isn't talented, it's just not my genre. I can say he has really broken through the doors in the same room as the masters, he's in the very back of the room still but he is in the room now none the less.
We all know too well how the remake of The Fog went down... HORRIBLE. I can't believe John Carpenter and Debra Hill actually claim they were actively supervising that abomination of a classic. So thank god they sat on the sidelines and let Rob have full control of this one.
Though some my say the first half of the film was long, how Michael became the killer we all know and love, I really like seeing the history of how he became what he did. I think that was really a missing part in the original and we were left to read the book to try to figure that out. And I like the way Rob's underline tells the viewers if you don't actively become a positive part of your child’s life, don't be that stupid person in front of the news camera that tries to shirk responsibility as to why "Your little angel" did such a bad thing. Step up you idiot and be a good parent then you won't run the chance of having to move out of state to avoid the embarrassment of what your kids have done due to your negligence....
