No one said he could do it but director Rob Zombie has re-imagined John Carpenter’s immortal classic HALLOWEEN for a new generation of filmgoers[phpbay] Zombie’s film tries to examine the psychological makeup of Michael Myers (Tyler Mane) who is put into a sanitarium for the mentally insane after he kills his sister and stepfather[phpbay] His psychiatrist Dr[phpbay] Samuel Loomis (Malcolm McDowell) studies Myers in a hope to somehow cure the young boy but like Myers’ mother (Sheri Moon Zombie), who commits suicide, he soon realizes that there is no cure to Myers who grows up in the mental hospital[phpbay]

The notoriety of the Myers case makes Loomis a house hold name after his book becomes a best seller and just when Loomis believes that Myers has become nothing more than a shell of his former self - a thing of pure evil, Myers decides to make leave of the mental institution leaving dead bodies in his wake[phpbay] Myers returns to his hometown of Haddonfield in search of his younger sister Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton) the only person left in his lineage not yet dead[phpbay] All those who stand in his way will be consumed by his rage and madness and the only one brave enough to stand against him is Loomis who believes that he is the only one who truly understands the evil that has come to plague the city of Haddonfield[phpbay]

Because of Zombie’s nature and previous films (HOUSE 400 CORPSES and THE DEVIL’S REJECTS) it is safe to say that the new HALLOWEEN is not for every one[phpbay] Zombie has a unique dark humor that won’t sit well with most audiences looking for the “less is more” attitude of the original[phpbay] Zombie has no plans of keeping the violence off-screen as like all his previous films he has put it right in the face of his audience[phpbay] The whole film has a “grindhouse” feel to it from the trash talk of all the characters to the production design and art direction (Anthony Tremblay and T[phpbay]K[phpbay] Kirkpatrick, respectfully)[phpbay]

Although the film drags in the second portion of the film depicting events all too familiar with fans of the original film it is a joy to see the plethora of cameo appearances from stars familiar to genre aficionados from Brad Dourif, William Forsyth, Richard Lynch, Udo Kier, Danny Trejo, Bill Moseley, Danielle Harris, and Leslie Easterbrook, to name but a few[phpbay] The new HALLOWEEN is not a perfect film (nor was the original for that matter) but it is nice to see someone who actually cared about the material re-imagine the story with a little originality[phpbay]
