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

| Original Score: 0/4 | Mar 8, 2024

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

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.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 11, 2022

It's commendable how bold Zombie is at making a celebrated classic his own. Unfortunately, his version just isn't very good. Per usual, Zombie's poorly written and intentionally gross dialogue overshadows his clear talent as a director.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 19, 2022

This is a flawed but interesting work from a flawed but interesting filmmaker.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 21, 2021

Zombie occasionally suffered from the Uwe Boll syndrome and felt a need to add pointless camera effects to dramatic scenes that only served to lessen the drama.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 10, 2020

Zombie's version features a fascinating opening hour, but ultimately falls apart in the second half, with too many scenes failing to live up to the high standards of the original.

| Nov 21, 2019

It's not thrilling enough for horror hounds, not entertaining enough for casual audiences, not smart enough for franchise fans and not good enough for anyone.

| Original Score: 1/10 | Oct 21, 2019

Driven by the loving memory of the original, without the intention of eclipsing it. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 17, 2019

At a time when most horror remakes seemed aimed at a teen market, Zombie's vision was decidedly more hardcore and uncompromising.

Rob Zombie certainly has a unique vision for the Michael Myers myth, albeit one that undermines the haunting ambiguity of Carpenter's original.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 21, 2018

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

Most filmmakers would simply amp up the visual assault for the sake of stirring the minds of desensitized viewers; Zombie is brave enough to depart from the source and take insightful back roads that consider the psychology of the subject.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 7, 2016

Pick the lamest Halloween sequel out there and you've just found a better horror movie than this one.

Anyone can trace a Picasso.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 3, 2012

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 18, 2011

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 17, 2011

Teen slasher flick remake is brutal and bloody.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 15, 2010

When it comes to Rob Zombie's remake of John Carpenter's Halloween, they don't get any more unnecessary.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 7, 2010

Modernizing the classic slasher staple, Rob Zombie's film is surprisingly adept.
