Now, 16 years later, he escapes and now in search of his baby sister Laurie (Scout Taylor-Compton) and D r. Loomis must warn the residents of Haddenfield and get to Laurie before Michael does. Based on a film (HALLOWEEN made in 1978) by John Carpenter. desertcart.co.uk Review More of a supercharged revamp than a remake, Rob Zombie's take on John Carpenter's Halloween expands the back story of masked killer Michael Myers in an attempt to examine the motivation for his first deadly attack, as well as some reasons for his longevity as a horror icon. Zombie's Myers is a blank-eyed teen (played by Daeg Faerch) whose burgeoning mental problems are left unchecked in a horrific home environment; harassed by schoolmates, a randy sister, and his mother's deadbeat boyfriend (William Forsythe, terrific as usual), Myers' homicidal explosion seems inevitable, and intervention by Dr. Sam Loomis (Malcolm McDowell, who offers a fast-talking, hippiefied version of the Donald Pleasance character) does little to impede his development into a mute, unstoppable killing machine (Tyler Mane) bent on finishing off the only survivor of his family's massacre--his sister, now grown into teenaged Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton). Opening up the psychological motivation of a cipher like Michael Myers is an interesting approach, but Zombie's script possesses neither a depth of character nor dialogue to offer more than a clichéd thumbnail character sketch. Zombie's Halloween isn't terribly suspenseful, either; he has a keen eye for visuals and the details of chaotic environments, but his scares are nothing more than brutal showcases for his special effects team. The end result barely surpasses the original film's numerous sequels, though the Who's Who of cult and character actors in the cast (including Zombie regulars Sid Haig, Bill Moseley and Ken Foree, as well as Brad Dourif, Udo Kier, Clint Howard, Richard Lynch, Danny Trejo, Dee Wallace, and Danielle Harris) adds a touch of late-night monster movie charm. However, the film's best performance belongs to the director's spouse, Sheri Moon Zombie, who brings unexpected pathos to the role of Myers' downtrodden mother.-- Paul Gaita Review: Not a remake. It's a different version. - Before I go on about what my title is, I must say that I'm not to keen on reimagining the original. I didn't like the Friday the 13th or A Nightmare On Elm Street remake. But Halloween, I really enjoyed it. Rob Zombie did a brilliant job on going deeper through the lives of the cast and making Michael a totally different and scarier person. To be honest, I loved Scout Taylor Compton's portrayal of Laurie because this proved her a willing Scream Queen to me. Tyler Mane's Michael Myers is such a eerie shadow in the dark which is just fearful. Now, I have no idea what the hate was about with Rob Zombie ruining the franchise, he basically done a deeper version of Halloween. Now I believe there are 2 different versions with Halloween. John Carpenter's and Rob Zombie's. But Rob Zombie's version goes into more detail with Michael, Laurie, Annie, Samuel, Judith and Debra. I always wanted to get to know more of these characters especially Michael's childhood, Judith's character and Debra's character. I feel like Rob's Halloween is kind of a documentary because we saw like the hidden files of Michael's aggression and evilness slowly taking over him like his soul is being eaten away. Overall, I loved Rob's version. And the sequel.

On the one hand: I'm a huge fan of Rob Zombie's films and music, and can at least appreciate Halloween as a "cover version". It's visually striking, and contains a great mix of Zombie's own style and respectful homages to Carpenter's style. I personally think the acting is much more naturalistic than in most horror movies; the only dialogue that made me cringe were the same parts that made me cringe in the original Carpenter movie... i.e. the scenes with Loomis and the town sheriff. But, on the other hand: I'm also a massive fan of John Carpenter's early movies, in particular Halloween which happens to be one of the first horror films I ever saw. In comparison to the original, Zombie's version disappoints on several levels. What made the original scary is the supernatural aspect to "The Shape": it appears and disappears so silently you might suspect teleportation, and its motives remain unclear, right until the end of the movie. This allows enough suspension of disbelief to allow Myers to be completely invulnerable (although later Halloween films took that aspect way too far). Zombie's movie largely dispenses with the "now you see him, now you don't" motif, and any of those aforementioned creepy scenes. Instead, what we have is just a run-of-the-mill psychopath. This makes some of the faithfully recreated scenes nonsensical, and his resistance to bullets far less plausible. Also, because the film spends so long in the Michael Myers backstory, the second half feels somewhat rushed. For example, there's an inexplicable leap from the daytime graveyard discovery to the first nighttime murders, with no interim scenes to remind us that this is actually happening on Halloween. However, what it lacks in actual scariness, I think it more than makes up for with the disturbing (and uncomfortably familiar) portrayal of a psychopath's early childhood. There's one pivotal scene in which you see the exact moment where Michael lets go of any last remaining social conscience and begins his downward path, and the cause is so frustratingly trivial and caused entirely by the thoughtlessness of the people around him. Rob Zombie's no apologist for psychopaths, but a common theme in his films is to challenge our black & white notions of good versus evil. In (mostly) removing the supernatural element and managing to make us feel some sympathy for Michael Myers (in spite of his murderous action), he exposes us to a far deeper horror than you can ever get from the "jump-scares" in the original John Carpenter movie. In conclusion: despite initially hating it, I now like this film. It does not diminish my enjoyment of Carpenter's original, and neither does Carpenter's original diminish my enjoyment of this film. As far as I'm concerned, they can co-exist as entirely separate entities, to be appreciated on their own terms. EDIT: Also to be taken into consideration - you must see the "Unrated" version. The theatrical release was subjected to several cuts, enforced by the studio and against the director's wishes; many of these cuts seriously harm the narrative. The director's commentary and additional features also well worth experiencing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Halloween: Uncut (Director's Cut Edition) [DVD] - Halloween II [DVD] - Halloween Resurrection [DVD] [2021] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/49433704-halloween-uncut-directors-cut-edition-dvd](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/49433704-halloween-uncut-directors-cut-edition-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
