Description

The early 2000s have seen a string of big-budget remakes of classic horror films. In addition to THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and THE HILLS HAVE EYES John Carpenters benchmark slasher flick HALLOWEEN has been given a new-millennial overhaul. At the helm of the project sits rocker Rob Zombie whose previous films HOUSE OF 1 000 CORPSES and THE DEVILS REJECTS brought a fans touch and an auteurs vision to the directors chair. While Zombies HALLOWEEN is faithful to Carpenters vision there are some obvious changes the most pronounced of these being the substantial focus on Michael Myerss childhood. The film posits Michael (played by a creepily vacant Daeg Faerch) as a troubled child made all the worse by a horrible home life--wonderfully illustrated via William Forsythes performance as Deborah Myerss boyfriend--and constant abuse at school. Zombie paints Michaels pain with palpable grit and sleaze but he isnt out to put our culture on the couch--he simply wants to show Michael killing his family. With the exception of Michaels therapy sessions while incarcerated the film post-massacre stays loyal to the original. BR Zombies film is clearly the work of a filmmaker who knows and loves the genre. The directors signature is stamped all over HALLOWEEN (most notably in the use of grainy home movie footage and a smokin classic rock soundtrack) although remnants of Carpenters brilliant original still remain. When it comes to remakes its hard to ask for much more.
