HALLOWEEN - ROB ZOMBIE - RETRIBUTION - NEW MOVIE POSTER  Product Reviews

"This is a prequel/remake worth seeing! Many rabid fans of the original Halloween are probably chomping at the bit to shred this film to pieces. Calm down guys and gals, Zombie's attempt here is actually a pretty good addition to the series. It starts off in the Myers home, little Mikey is eleven years old and developing some major teenage angst a couple of years early. Mainly because Mom's a stripper and stepdad's a loser who yells and curses and degrades the kids with every chance he gets. That's probably a big reason why Mike likes to crawls into his shell and hide. Or actually, he prefers to hide behind some sort of mask. I thought this movie was cool because it didn't simply change the cast from the original classic and tell the exact same story. It goes on to show young Michael go off the deep end, murder some family members, and be sent away to a mental institute. Then it eventually fast forwards 15 years and shows him escape and head home. Now, I'll admit, once this deranged fella gets home the suspense is pretty much drained and it simply becomes a hack'em up gorefest. Oh yes, good times. Still it's fairly brutal, just not the most imaginative set of killings we could hope for. So is it as good as the original? Don't be stupid. But give this a chance or else you risk becoming another clueless victim. Oh yeah, by the way, this poster is pretty cool too. "

"Wow, I never realised that you could watch a poster. Guys this is the page for the new Halloween poster, not for the movie. Go to IMDB to review the movie. Anyways, it's a pretty cool picture. I reckon it would look pretty sweet hanging on my wall. At first I didn't like it, but it grew on me."

"yes indeed lets all write long essays on how "boring" and "unstealthy" this movie is and on and on..... "Wah I loved the first one...he was stealthy and had a brain and we really knew nothing about him but we loved him" all you fanboys care about is how you want the movie remakes to be the same thing you saw when you were 10 or 20 back in the 80's and 90's well you know what this movie is $30 million and counting because it is a classic in its own rights it was obviously approved by all the legends of horror that appear in it and its approved by most new Halloween fans if anything people will watch this miovie and feel it rejuvinated the old Haloween season and movies of the past or new commers will watch the old ones and think to them selves..."wow glad Zombie is out there to re-do boring ol' classics like this!!" So have at me what you will fan boys im gunna see it again in the theator once again and buy this Kick +++ Movie on Unrated DVD and enhoy it for a long time!!! Eat your Hearts out!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"No wonder the remake of Halloween has been about as bad as any other horror film remake. Poor Michael Myers lost decades of substance thanks to Rob Zombie. He was once a very subtle, stealthly, tricky and intelligent icon of horror slashers. But now, he appears as a pro-wrestler dressed in a jumpsuit destroying everything and everyone in his path without any purpose or design to him. If you liked this movie a lot, then I'm sorry for you. It shows how little depth is appreciated these days. While there were parts I liked about the remake here and there, the film was overall a bore. Some great killings, yes. A great acting job on Dr. Loomis, yes. A well done back story on young Michael, sort-of. But overall, the suspense, the intensity and the true terror of Michael Myers has been stripped and replaced with the over-tired gorefest which leaves the true myers fan retaining nothing afterwards but the ticket stub and an empty container of soda. Young Michael steals the show, but it's not worth theater admission. I was reminded of Halloween Resurrection (another awful sequel) because of just how mindless the script is. I can't imagine John Carpenter was very amused by this. Oh, and save your dough if you're thinking about purchasing the soundtrack, it sucks too. Unless of course you want a CD that is half spoken lines from the film, mostly tunes from the late seventies and two re-done Halloween themes."
