Critics Consensus

Rob Zombie doesn't bring many new ideas to the table in Halloween, making it another bloody disappointment for fans of the franchise.

Because it's still about Michael Myers, it all feels epic and larger than life in a way few of those other films do.

Deep Focus Review

[Zombie] demystifies everything Carpenter’s film made legendary in the most banal ways.

Film Inquiry

It may not be the standout Zombie was hoping for, but Halloween finds its own brutal identity along the way while still honoring the original it is based on.

Sunshine State Cineplex

The last hour of the film maintains a pace that sells the slasher as something unique. Ultimately, the first half sinks this one, and leaves the Halloween from 2007 a step below the average horror flick.

Rated: 5/10

Rob Zombie did a great job with this film, making it the best it can be. We got to see a detailed background of Michaels past and how he developed those killer instincts of his. Michael Myers was very brutal in this movie and he wasted no time killing the people he needed to in order to reach Laurie Strode. Jamie Lee Curtis will never be beaten in her role as Laurie, but I think every actor in this film did a great job. I actually liked the mask in this movie and it was just a darker movie compared to other Michael Myers films. Overall, very good remake but it will never top the first Halloween movie in 1978.

A darker grittier version of Halloween executed perfectly and a rare instance the remake is actually good.

A typical Rob Zombie flick that doesn’t even compare to the original. It’s worth the watch if there’s nothing else

Rob Zombies Halloween is a stylized version of the original. It is a movie that requires a certain kind of taste. I enjoyed this movie, the kills were fun and gory, Dr. Loomis is a maniac as always. I wasn't really a fan of the casting for Laurie Strode, but that was easy to get by. I liked the beginning, which showed who Micheal Myers really was. All in all, this movie was a fun time from beginning to end, i would give it a solid 7/10.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
