All righty kids its Halloween story time. when i was a young lad (10-13?) i wanted to watch a scary movie because im a bad ass who fears nothing. My dad thought it would be a good idea to watch Halloween. now the OG Halloween is a perfect movie to get kids into horror. there snot a lot of gore, and the worst thing that could happen is your small impressionable youth sees some mediocre boobs. Although my dad had awesome taste, he had picked the wrong Halloween movie. unfortunately i dont remember what i thought of the movie, all i remember is my friends mom was not pleased he had watched it, and my Dad was basically un-phased. so that was one of my earliest memories watching a horror movie. you would think he would have picked a Friday the 13th movie since his name is Jason, but oh well. missed opportunity on his part
anyways this movie is... fine. i remember when i was younger the family scene at the beginning of the movie really bugged me (Thanks dad). a lot of people have daddy issues, and i have had mommy issues as long as i have been alive. because of that i find mentally ill mom characters in movies super hard to watch. this movies fucked up family however didn't really bug me. of course its horrible, but i found it a lot easier to watch this time around. basically every scene with Micheal as a kid is hard to watch in this movie anyway so i suppose it fits right in. exploring Micheal Myers life before the murders is an interesting idea. however this movie tries to explain thing that really dont need to be explained. about the only good thing that comes from Micheal Myers as a kid is the kills. all the kills in this movie are pretty sweet. say what you want about Rob Zombie, he knows how to deliver with kills and gore. and Sheri Moon Zombie gives a surprisingly good performance.
as far as the rest of the movie goes, its fairly decent. if this movie wasn't about Micheal Myers it would be the best zombie movie by far. but because it has the Halloween brand attached to it, the feel just seems unnecessary.
not sure what else to say about this one. its a mediocre Halloween reboot.
6/10
