These guys who try to remake the classics like The Fog (horrible remake) and Halloween surprise me with either their lack of respect or lack of understanding for what made those movies unique. This version psychoanalyzes Michael M.s behavior and sets him in a white trash, turbulant childhood which later results in his murderous ways. When what was SO absolutely horrifying about the original was that there was NO explanation...he was just EVIL! And what happened to the viriginal heroine genre??? The reason the heroine survived was equally tied to her innocence. Hence the good vs. evil. It was a thought that kept me chaste through my formitive years, that is for sure. The message was drink, party and have lots of sex and you're in trouble. But I guess I shouldn't expect Rob Zombie to be the mastermind that John Carpenter was. That kind of creativity is rare...which is probably why he had to do a recreation of a classic in stead of creating his own. Was this review helpful?

There were moments when I couldn't believe the message was 'screw parents and education,' and Jack Black's character is just gross; however, there is the other message that kids need to be kids. My nephews wanted to learn music after seeing the movie...something positive. Was this review helpful?

The characters were tangible and real, although Lane overkilled on facial expressions. The movie leaves you with hope for something greater, and feeling as if starting over-wherever that may be-is possible. Was this review helpful? Sign In 1-3 of 3 Per Page |
