The Rob Zombie Halloween Impression and Review
I finally got to see the newer version of Halloween that was released a few years back.
Personally, I thought it was a pretty decent remake.
Mind you, I don't think any remake can truly out do an original, especially when it's classic, nay, legendary.
Halloween is one such type of movie.
It's just a classic form of horror that every horror slasher flick nowadays has been copying.
In the Zombie Halloween, a couple of things I noticed about the film when compared with the original.
The first thing, was the blood and the overall language of the dialogue.
The first scene opens up with Micheal's mom and step-father cursing up and down in the kitchen to each other while an infant is there in the room.
Throughout the movie, I can't even remember if and how much swearing there was because that first scene numbed me down so I didn't really notice any other bad language that may have been thrown in through the movie.
As far as the blood goes, there is plenty of that in this iteration of the movie.
While there is hardly ANY blood to be seen in the original version, there seems to be buckets full of it in the newer version.
I thought that was different, if not more realistic in that if you were stabbing people left and right, there's going to be a little blood.
I do think one thing that this movie did justice to the original were all the similar scenes and lines that were put into this version.
The boyfriend with a blanket over his head to "scare" his girlfriend? Check.
The same girlfriend who says "See anything you like" after revealing her breasts to him? Check.
Things like this thrown in are nice, especially if you have seen the original Halloween and are subconsciously comparing it to the new version.
Naturally, they added a couple different musical scores to the movie from the original, such as the Halloween theme song.
That would be a given, but even then, it's still a good thing.
It wouldn't be Halloween without it.
All in all, I think the movie wasn't too bad.
It more or less held true to the original version of the beloved horror series.
Although they never dived into Micheal Meyer's mind before now, that's a good thing and a bad thing.
With the first version of Halloween you always wondered why was he a killer? How did he get that way? That's what made the new version intriguing and interesting enough to watch.
Some people may like the new Halloween, others probably won't.
That's how things go.
In the end, I still enjoyed the movie, and thought was was a pretty good tribute to the first Halloween, although you can NEVER beat the original.
Come on.
There's no way.
