Getting Rob Zombie to remake John Carpenter's Halloween seemed like it might actually work, given his love for horror movies.
The end result unfortunately isn't very good.
Zombie sacrifices subtly building tension and smacks you right over the head with brutal violence right from the get go, which honestly wears off pretty fast. What's interesting though, is the first half of the film in which Zombie expands upon the history of Michael Myers, would have worked had he not taken a cheap route out with the uninspiring second half.
There's glimpses of creativity but never enough to save the film from itself.
