Remade from the orginal Halloween in 1978, this film was highly dissapointing. The first movie had suspence and it was "creepy", even though it was a bit slow. This movie gets into the action almost immediately, but that's the only good thing about it. It strays from the orginal movie's plotline, and wanders off in a different direction. Some parts of the movie are similar, but if you want a true horror movie watch the original directed by John Carpenter.
This movie starts out protraying a messed up family that resembles white trash. Michael Meyers then goes on a killing spree (as in the original story). Sadly this movie is a poor recreation. After almost 20 years in an institution, Michael breaks out and begins searching for his little sister (which he spared in his brutal attack years ago). His sister is unaware of his exsistence, and is terrified when he shows up.
This movie has trashy sex scenes that might make the teenage male pleased, but the added nudity is unnecessary. This movie is long, but it does have action sequences that keep the audience interested. Unfortunately, this movie is more about suspence than actually scaring the audience. I was sadly dissapointed, especially with the ending. Sensless killing can be a good quality in a scary movie, but sadly it was not in this case. Viewer's comment: "Can't compare to the orginal. It was a good suspense film. It wasn't scary, unlike the original version". Watch Halloween (1978) staring Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence.
Rating on Scare-O-Meter. (1-5, five being the scariest)
Hard-ass: 2
Wimp: 3
