Its been almost a month & I have been good about not bad mouthing ROB ZOMBIE for remaking the classic "Halloween".
Now the 1978 original inspired & started the splatter movie genre. However the original "Halloween" was not a splatter movie however the remake is.
Now the original "Halloween" was a huge success back in the day. In fact if you adjusted the gross of the 1978 version it would adjust to almost $200,000,000 million. Not bad for a movie that cost $300,000.
Now here it is 2007. AS of today the new version has done almost $55,000,000. For a movie that cost less than $20,000,000 that is a huge success. In fact I am sure a sequel will come out however that doesn't mean that this version of "Halloween" is worth watching. The fact is is that is wasn't worth making.
Now in the original Michael Myers had a very little back story. Here its all back story. In the original it Michael lives in middle class neighbor hood with decent looking parents.
In the remake its the opposite. Michael lives a classic white trash life. You expect a killer to emerge from that back ground.
Now I know Rob Zombie wanted to explore things left UN said from the original however,less is always more!
SO we are stuck with the movie that Rob Zombie made. I must say it has some very good parts here and there but in general the movie just sucks. LIKE MOST REMAKES
