Plot Summary
The Devil's Rejects director Rob Zombie resurrects one of the most notorious slashers in screen history with this re-imagining of the 1978 John Carpenter classic that spawned numerous sequels and countless imitators. As a child, young Michael Myers (Daeg Faerch) committed one of the most unspeakable crimes imaginable. Subsequently locked in an asylum and placed under the care of Dr. Loomis (Malcolm McDowell), the hollow-eyed boy grew into an emotionless man determined to escape back to his hometown of Haddonfield and complete the murderous mission that he began so many years back. These days, the long-abandoned Myers house sits decrepit and overgrown on a peaceful suburban street, its boarded windows and rotting wood a silent testament to the slaughter that has haunted Haddonfield for decades. Now Michael Myers (Tyler Mane) is back, and as the children of this typical Midwestern town fill the sidewalks for a fun-filled night of tricks and treats, Haddonfield is about to find out that there is no escape from pure evil. Brad Dourif, William Forsythe, Udo Kier, Dee Wallace, Sheri Moon Zombie, Danny Trejo, and Adrienne Barbeau co-star.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The new Halloween has sympathy for the Devil, but not enough.
Rotten: The result, though undeniably preferable to yet another misbegotten installment of the long-exhausted franchise, certainly doesn't compare to John Carpenter's landmark original film.
Rotten: Rob Zombie's lousy remake of John Carpenter's 1978 slasher classic Halloween adds to the argument that horror movies are losing their box-office appeal because filmmakers no longer know how -- or have any desire -- to create genuine suspense.
Rotten: Contains dialogue so nasty and stupid, you'd swear (right along with the characters) that the booker for Jerry Springer wrote it (Zombie did).

Finally
Finally, this movie is available on iTunes, it took awhile but it's here. Overall it is a good movie, but the only thing is that it has some unneeded sex scenes, but I loved this movie. If you haven't seen it, and like some crazy good movies, than BUY THIS MOVIE! It is for you if you like those kind of movies
why
why do they have to remake movies they just make them worse every time.the origonal was the best
Wow
Rob, I am a huge fan. I love this movie. Amazing gore/violence and plot. Really well put together movie. The only thing I disliked about this movie was the constant sex/nudity and the rape scene ontop of it. Some of that could have been left out. Otherwise I love the movie and the sequal. Really good job Rob.
