This movie is a sad reflection of a classic horror movie and sign of the times where there is a genuine lack of imagination and originality in Hollywood. It was so much of a copy of the original that there were hardly any surprises. The acting was surprisingly better than expected however the remake is simply a cheap immitation of one of the finest horror movies ever made. Instead of remaking good horror movies into bad ones I would suggest Rob Zombie remake bad horror movies into good ones. I suspect his next effort will be to remake the Excorcist throw a bit more depth into Satan and ruin the film too. Stick to making music Rob.

I LOVE Halloween movies, even though I haven't seen one in quite some time. I really want to go to this new movie and my 16 year old niece wants me to take her. I read that there's "graphic nudity." Could someone please tell me what to expect? (and also, when if possible?)

Thanks.

I'm not a rob zombie fan..however I thought he did a good job on halloween (2007). He added his own twist to the story...which I like. It didn't follow exactly the original and it gave us an insight in who micheal myers was. thumbs up!

I saw this film last night and thought it was very well done. Great acting and visuals. I almost liked it better than the original. I want to see it again.
