Rob Zombie's Halloween: A review

So I finally saw the Rob Zombie version of Halloween. It wasn't great but it was a waste of time. I thought is was about the same quality as the original which I didn't particularly love. However, I feel the need to rewatch it as it has been a while and I saw it before I really got into horror movies.

I really liked the way they went into Michael Meyer's past a little bit although it dragged on a bit longer than it should of. I may have liked this so much because I have a particular fear of child killers.

I though the guy who played Michael's therapist played by Malcolm McDowell was definitely the stand out performance of the movie.

I did not, however, like the main girl played by Scout Taylor-Compton. Admittedly though, it is hard to live up to classic scream qqueen, Jamie Lee Curtis. Like most other horror movies ever made, they went for looks rather than acting ability.

Overall, the first half of the movie which addresses Michael's history was pretty good but the second half of the move was a little lacking. In the end, this was worth watching because I really love the horror genre but if you don't have a particular interest in scary movies than it is probably not worth watching.
