When I first heard there was a remake of Halloween in the works I thought, what the F#ck? how can you remake a classic of this caliber, well the answer is you can't. This is NOT Halloween this is a completely different movie that in no way compares to the original and when you consider the amount of money Zombie spent making this trash compared to the, lets see, what was it? 150,000 that Carpenter spent its hysterical.
The Weinsteins have another crash and burn on their hands because they are investing in people who just Don't get it. Blood and guts do not make HORROR, there is hardly a drop of blood in Halloween yet to this day it scares me every time I watch it. (pop the 25th anniversary edition DVD in some dark night and watch it alone, you will be checking every door and window in your house for a month). And NO ONE can be Laurie Stroud except Jamie Lee Curtis, end of story. The acting is horrible and the characters are cookie cutter stereotypes that no one can connect with. I agree the Texas hick accents are so lame, its Illinois idiot not Texas.
The acting is so horrible and the film is soooooo slow and sooooo stupid, we left 45 minutes into it, I just could not even give it my time to watch it all and I won't. Thank god we had a free screening cause I knew it was going to be bad but this is the ISHTAR of horror movies... GET SOME ORIGINAL IDEAS ZOMBIE...... You are no John Carpenter... Run from this as fast as you can from this, do not waste your money. Invite friends over, cook some popcorn and watch the real Halloween.... still scary after all these years.
