This version is too pat, too simplified. It seems cliched, cheesy. Insulting to the original's intelligence and depth.

Michael's mother wasn't a stripper, his parents were wholesome Americans, that's what made it so frightening. He should have been completely normal, but he wasn't. Also, Zombie makes Jamie into this whiny little bitch. Carpenter's Laurie is smart, sympathetic. People in Carpenter's film are for the most part smart, who make mistakes. Zombie made a film filled with dumb people.

@YoshisKoski Rob wasn't trying to better a classic film series. Just re-imagin it a little. But that's something that closed minded fucks don't understand. Try watching Robs take on them, while pretending that the originals never existed.

John Carpenters Halloween sucked ass...very weak kills, no blood or action...just a man walking around with his back to the camera...

rob zombie seems too focus more than the original, on what michael went through as a child and why he did what he did, imo they are both brilliant films

Rob Zombie's remakes of Halloween are some of the only remakes to come out of classic horror movies that don't completely blow. Like the Nightmare on Elm Street remake somehow manage to suck all the personality out of Freddy and that guy had some sick charisma. Zombie did good.

If you actually think about it, the sequels weren't all that good except H3 because originally it was an anthology series (its often overlooked and not as bad as people think)and the movie itself was original, H20 was pretty good because it ignored the sequels. Looking at the bad sequels, it just gets worst and worst, curse of Michael Myers made no sense, the mask gets cheap from H4 and 5, and overall the sequels doesn't make sense.

you guys are idiots rob zombie never claimed to be better than the original and the reason why i respect his versions is because its DIFFERENT! You close minded fucks, what makes remake a failure in the first place is doing the exact copy! Someone please tell me some thing, whats the point of making a remake if all your gonna do is recycled the exact same thing the original did? Rob on the first film did 50-50 of his own and Carpenters.

I wish people would stop totally talking shit about zombies remake of halloween. John Carpenter's Halloween can't be beat, and I think everyone knows that... including zombie. Zombie didn't do the remake to make it better than Carpenter's, he did the remake cuuz he fuckin wanted to. And its not a horrible movie

[MajBlood]

@SuperSexySkittles You can't ignore sequels and remakes from the originals. That would be stupid. If you don't want your movie to be compared, then make it a fucking original series.

I doubt that Carpenter liked Zombie's version, or even watched it for that matter.

halloween 2007 version was okay its still not better than the orignial, but it was good too see it come back and if you think about it halloween (2007) version started alll of the big movie remakes.. but john carpenter thought the movie was terrible
