Critic Reviews

  • Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

    The result, though undeniably preferable to yet another misbegotten installment of the long-exhausted franchise, certainly doesn't compare to John Carpenter's landmark original film.

  • Kyle Smith, New York Post

    The Batman Begins of slasher movies, and one of the more frightening stabathons of recent years.

  • Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

    It's a decent diversion.

  • Richard Harrington, Washington Post

    Contains dialogue so nasty and stupid, you'd swear (right along with the characters) that the booker for Jerry Springer wrote it (Zombie did).

  • Bruce Demara, Toronto Star

    Trick or treat? Rob Zombie's "re-imagining" of John Carpenter's 1978 horror classic Halloween must sadly be consigned to the former category and it's not even a very interesting, suspenseful trick at that.

    Rob Zombie re-ups Carpenter's original for a new generation, underlining the monster's hard luck upbringing while deleting the story's self-effacing cheekiness. Sometimes that works ...

    For those who say it's just too close to the original or it is not updated enough, I have not seen the original Halloween yet, so I am seeing this as a film on it's own. Briefly, isn't it usually the problem that a remake changes too much and ruins the film? So then why… More

    Well, well here's the reimagining of Halloween. Directed by Rob Zombie, director of the great Horror film, The Devil's Rejects and House of A 1000 Corpses; the Halloween remake is an almost apocalyptic vision of the notorious madman, it's the birth of something evil and… More
