Well, I did it. I saw it. Rob Zombie’s Halloween was exactly what I thought it would be. An average scary movie. It was average in the sense that the acting was terrible, but you just couldn’t pull your butt out of your seat to leave the theatre because you just couldn’t help but wonder what was going to happen to the stupid girl who kept running upstairs when she should have been running out the front door. Isn’t it obvious? It’s a scary movie. Everyone dies except for the villain and the main character. As far as whether or not that’s true about this particular film, you’ll have to see for yourself.

For me, the only worthwhile aspect of the film was the backstory that was left out of the other installments of the Halloween series. The film also had some great music, which makes sense because of Rob Zombie being in charge. Also, the little boy who played Michael was definitely creepy. I think he was the only actor that had a true grasp on his character. That is frightening, since he was playing pure evil. I don’t want to ever be considered someone who has a true grasp on pure evil.

Overall, I was entertained, but this was certainly not any form of high art, nor was it a cinematic breakthrough. I give it a two/D/one star.
