Halloween (2007) review

Today I am also reviewing less recent movies!  I am reviewing Rob Zombie's Halloween movies!  And here is the first one.  Say what you want about this movie, but I fucking love it!  It works for me as both a fun slasher movie and a hilarious comedy!  And honestly, I prefer this over the original 1978 version!  Why is that exactly?  It is a lot more fun than the original, and it is really not a carbon copy of the original during the first half!  The second half isn't a complete carbon copy either though!  Although it does show a few moments from the original film, it does have it's own twists in it!  I respect Rob Zombie for making this his own movie instead of copying the original scene from scene!  This movie is far more of a psychological horror film than the original film too, which is something I loved as well!  I also loved how this movie really dug deep into the character of Michael Myers!  This movie did a lot of things I absolutely loved!  Now let's get into my favourite thing about this movie, the kills!  The kills are raw, bloody, and brutal!  Every time Michael Myers kills a person, it was some intense stuff!  This is by far the most brutal film in the whole franchise!  I also really loved Malcolm McDowell as Dr. Loomis, he gave the best performance in the whole movie besides Tyler Mane as Michael Myers.  If I have any negatives with the movie, it has to be the first 10 minutes or so.  The first 10 minutes of the movie had some of the most painfully awful dialogue I have ever heard!  But thankfully, the rest of the movie was so great (in my opinion) that it made up for it!  Rob Zombie's Halloween is a solid horror remake, it has awesome kills, awesome performances from Malcolm McDowell and Tyler Mane, and it has a very intriguing story involving Michael Myers! But the first 10 minutes or so was pretty bad!  Fun fact:  The little girl from Halloween 4 and 5 plays Laurie Strode's friend in this movie!
