Halloween: Review

Rock-star turned splat-brat-auteur Rob Zombie doesn't so much remake John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN as use the 1978 horror classic as a framework on which to hang his own ideas about serial slaughterer Michael Myers. And he brings in three elements that were famously absent from the original: blood, backstory and a very high body count. Haddonfield, Illinois: Ten-year-old Michael Myers (Daeg Faerch) is the psychotic by-product of his stripper mother's (Sheri Moon Zombie) imp... read more

Have Yourself a Merry Little DVD Gift Guide! | The Joy of Sets | 12/19/2007
On the third day of my Holiday Gift GuideI showed more love of DVDsThree sci-fi classicsTwo horror remakesAnd an FX drama you have to see!Stargate SG-1 – The Complete Series Collection — Oh lord, I don’t know if you should watch it or bench press it, because this set is ginormous! 54 discs and 9900 minutes of interstellar space-and-military action from the effects bonanza that currently holds the record for the longest-running sci-fi series ever. Not too shabby, considering that the Richard Dean Anderson vehicle first blasted off on Showtime before jumping over to the Sci Fi network after five seasons. Throw in a few cast changes, about a gazillion warring alien races and knockout features on everything from the sets to the sci-fi convention culture and you have the sort of collection that could honestly consume an entire month. Not that there is anything wrong with that!Buy it now!Space: 1999 – The 30th Anniversary Megaset — So it’s 1975, I’m 6... read more
Halloween Slays Box-office Record, Yet Sequel Unlikely | Today's News: Our Take | 9/3/2007
Rob Zombie's reboot of John Carpenter's original Halloween bled $26.5 million from moviegoers' wallets in its first three days of release, setting a new record for a Labor Day weekend opening. (The previous record-holder was 2005's Transporter 2.) The fright flick also is on pace to top $30 mil for the full four-day weekend, eclipsing the $29.3 mil record held by 1999's The Sixth Sense. Even so, another "resurrection" of Michael Myers is unlikely. "I never say never," a Miramax Films exec tells Reuters, "but it would have to be something very, very different."Rounding out the top five were Superbad ($12.2 million), Balls of Fury (opening with $11.5 mil), The Bourne Ultimatum ($10.2 mil) and Rush Hour 3 ($8.6 mil). Kevin Bacon's Death Sentence was sentenced to the No. 8 spot, debuting to just $4.1 mil. read more
Interview with a Zombie: An Inside Look at the New Halloween | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 8/30/2007
Michael Myers was a very, very bad boy. That point is made frightfully clear in Rob Zombie's Halloween, a new take on John Carpenter's original and seminal 1978 shrieker, hitting theaters Friday. After screening the much-anticipated flick, TVGuide.com welcomed the chance to sit down with the edgy auteur to discuss how he gave shape to "the Shape." TVGuide.com: Halloween was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I remember coming out of the theater, in broad daylight, and looking over my ... read more
Ask FlickChick: Name the Best and Worst Horror Remakes! | Ask FlickChick | 8/29/2007
Question: So, what did you think of the Rob Zombie Halloween remake? One of the best, one of the worst, in between? And on that subject, what do you think are the best and worst remakes of classic horror movies? I thought the new Dawn of the Dead was awesome, and I like the John Carpenter version of The Thing even better than the original. Black Christmas and House of Wax were just pitiful. — MarkFlickChick: Sad to say, Rob Zombie's Halloween wasn't screened for critics. In this instance, I'm keeping an open mind, since studios are notorious for not showing horror movies — good or bad — to critics. My colleague Ken Fox's review will be here starting Aug. 31, 2007, and I'll probably check it out over the weekend. I mean, I've seen every single Halloween film in a theater the week it opened. After nearly 30 years, why break with tradition now?I'm generally in line with your thoughts. I think as far as sequels that never needed to be made go, Dawn of the Dead is pretty... read more
Jason, Michael or Freddy: Who Has the Fright Stuff? | TV Matt'rs | 8/22/2007
Halloween is almost upon us — Rob Zombie's remake of the John Carpenter classic, that is — and thus my (sometimes dark) thoughts have turned to the big screen's best bogeymen.I am not at liberty to "review" per se the new Halloween, which I had the opportunity to screen a few weeks back, but I will say that Tyler Mane (a past cohort of Zombie's, and X-Men's Sabretooth) makes for a most imposing Michael Myers. I always gave Michael a fair shake, as he does the most with the mentally wrong and silent type. One of the best screams came from Carpenter's original, when Michael, coat hanger still in his eye, propped himself up in the background, as an oblivious Jamie Lee Curtis cowered.Freddy Krueger of the Elm Street pics always had an unfair advantage over mute murderers, able to win over the audience with his clever barbs and puns so bad they themselves nearly killed you.Jason Voorhees, most memorably committed to celluloid in several of the Friday the 13ths by Kane Hodder... read more
