Rob Zombie (2007)
with Heather Bowen, Daeg Faerch
On Christmas night a child of ten years, Michael Myers, is a massacre of his family, sparing only the little sister. Fifteen years later, escaped from the psychiatric hospital where he was interned, will come looking for her.
are a few years now that the live horror film remake of the seventies, or prequels, sequels or remakes. This is indeed a novelty in the field: it is a prequel for the first half of the film, then it becomes a remake. If he felt the need. The original is clearly Carpenter's Halloween, a pillar of the entire horror genre. Following this project was Rob Zombie (here director, writer and producer too), well known person in the genre, the author of the beautiful 'The House of 1000 Corpses' and the excellent 'The Devil's Rejects'. Sorry, and not a little, to see how this time Zombie has done a bad job. Not much to say, the routine we already felt from the first moments: the rhythm is non-existent once you get bored, the actors are quite incapable and even misdirected, missing points particularly compelling (with the exception perhaps for the very last minute film) the script is mediocre, the killings are quite devoid of imagination. In practice, the film is not funny, indeed, some may even be unpleasant. Is saved, in extremis, the director, which expires in platitudes or mannerisms, but not enough. I repeat: I'm sorry, because Zombie has enormous potential and has demonstrated, we hope that this is a temporary fall.
Rating: 5 / 10 (nice)
