Last night I watched the new Rob Zombie version of Halloween. It was as expected from Rob Zombie. Dark, dreary, and full of odd people. Some changes to the original story were made and the length was increased by 30 minutes to a full two hours. Part of this was due to a significantly longer Michael as a youngster and some explanation as to why he did what he did. This sequence was, as it turns out, the best part of the movie. The telling of the return lacked the style and suspense of the John Carpenter original. There were a couple of interesting plot twists not in the original that kept your interest but they were not enough to save the film from being a disappointment.

Rating: **
