John Carpenter’s horror classic Halloween is re-envisioned by Rob Zombie as an ugly and grotesque slasher film. The story follows the formation of Michael Myers into a psychopathic killer during his childhood, and the killing spree that follows years later when he escapes from the insane asylum. Unfortunately, nearly all of the characters are unsympathetic and instantly dislikable; making it extremely hard to become engaged in the film. And, Zombie’s gratuitous and exploitative directing style is too brutal and vulgar to enjoy. Completely lacking in suspense, this Halloween remake is a distasteful mess.
