Aja Romano Vox Because it's still about Michael Myers, it all feels epic and larger than life in a way few of those other films do. Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Cliff Doerksen Time Out Rated: 1/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Rated: 1/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review [Zombie] demystifies everything Carpenter’s film made legendary in the most banal ways. Rated: 0/4 Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Stephanie Archer 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. Nov 4, 2022 Full Review Alan French 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 Oct 11, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Garry A This is gritty, darker, and more violent than any movies in the franchise. I jumped a few times. The scene in the bathroom stall is the scene I remembered the most about this film when I saw it way back when the first time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Alexander T This is a very good movie. It shows lots of Micheal’s childhood, which adds to the story. After that, it’s just like a newer version of the original. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review Shaun R Rob Zombie is great when he gets it right. They should’ve left it at this without the dumb sequel. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review Horror fan 4 Love this movie. Rob zombie did it right. Tim Treakle Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/27/25 Full Review Monokumaa 2 It's more bloody and more creepy I like it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review John R The scariest Michael Myers in my opinion Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
