Diary entries forHalloween
Halloween
Esse remake possui 40 minutos a mais do que seu filme original pois o mesmo se propõe a explorar a origem do personagem. Como tal, esse longa mostra a juventude conturbada de Michael Myers e o processo até a noite em que ele fez o que fez com a própria irmã, dessa vez adicionando mais duas vítimas, sendo elas o pai violento de Michael e o namorado da irmã. Essa obra se divide em dois momentos da vida do antagonista. Na primeira vendo um jovem Michael (Daeg Faerch) interagindo com o já conhecido Dr. Loomis (Malcolm MCdoewll) e ao longo do primeiro ato estendido temos o desenvolvimento da persona psicótica de Michael sendo o ápice desse momento em sua fase adulta onde Michael Myers agora na versão adulta interpretado por Tyler Mane. Quando esse detalhe é superado, o Remake se dedica a repetir os passos do original com um tom mais direto, mais sangrento e com os personagens clássicos em suas novas roupagens. Laurie Stroode (Scout Taylor-Compton) aparece como uma jovem mais extrovertida e usando a roupagem de adolescente no começo dos anos 2000. Esse filme possuí momentos de tensão genuína e a brutalidade de Michael é perceptível e o filme em momento nenhum o pinta como uma vítima ou uma pessoa instável mentalmente que não sabe o que faz, na verdade ele é brutal até mesmo com pessoas que o trataram bem ao longo da vida. E apesar do desenvolvimento do filme ser algo okay, os momentos finais são extremamente corridos e o final é um final definitivo. Esse filme claramente não foi desenvolvido para ser uma franquia. Halloween de 2007 é um remake okay, que tem uma proposta diferente no começo, mas o resto de sua duração é o mesmo de sempre dá franquia antiga.

After a rewatch, I was willing to be slightly kind to some parts of Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 I ain't doing that here, this one can still completely fuck off
Halloween
My first live-action Zombie! Fielding years worth of general responses to the guy, I think I was overly braced for something worse? If anything most of my personal annoyances were more for the shaky-cam conventions of the time. And all that obnoxious dialogue/characterization felt so curated as to be laugh-inducing rather than off-putting. That kid is great! Out of all the Michael Myers, if you're going to really bear down on the family trauma tangent Zombie finally gave us one with the fucking stature to pull off some of those "unstoppable force" maneuvers. Loomis being adapted to a comically-errant force of ego, impropriety, or just near-sighted reckoning with his own trauma is a bit of fun. (Spills further into that series long drive of institutional failure.) And again on the suburban front, being trapped in an emptied swimming pool is such an image.

"That is not appropriate babysitter behavior!"
Halloween
Night 31 of 31 Nights of Halloween As a lover of the original franchise, I can confidently say that there are moments within this film that surpass some of the storytelling from any of the other entries. Zombie does a great job at crafting a person behind the monster, offering up a ton of runtime that is dedicated to telling the story of who Michael Meyers was. It’s surprisingly not as violent as I recall it being, but still is one of the most graphic of any of the series. Loomis’ larger part felt right for the confines of this story, and I just wish that I liked Laurie more, since I could not stand her character in this version. This may not be as iconic as the original film, but does a lot more with the story that I think brings on a more interesting discussion.
Halloween
Michael Myers is brought back to life by the notorious Rob Zombie in a remake that is on the same level as the original. Halloween is one of the most iconic classic horror films, which also happens to be one of my favorite films. I was a little cautious watching this, since the original Halloween is a hard film to beat. Carpenter was able to create a villain that was going to withstand time and strike fear into the hearts of everyone. Rob Zombie recreates this monster, adding a backstory that gives you a glimpse into who Michael used to be. I really enjoyed the backstory, especially the actor who played young Michael. It's terrifying seeing him as a child for over a quarter of the movie, since you get to see what made Michael into the monster he is. Zombie carefully does this, making it realistic, instead of cliché. Halloween does justice to the original film, while having it's own spin on it. I'm really glad Zombie was the one to direct, since his previous films were stunning. I'm super excited to see how the sequel is, since I did not enjoy the sequel to the original. Halloween is one of the most iconic films ever, and this remake does justice to the original.
Halloween
Rob Zombie's vision of the iconic Michael Myers mythology is one wild ride. While there really was not a need at all to remake Halloween, since the franchise came to an end 5 years before the release of this film, it is very interesting to see what this story would be like in a modern sense. I used to regard this film as being just as good as the original, but this is far from being as iconic and well done. Zombie's vision is much more modern horror oriented, focusing on gore and shock to keep the film going, neither of which really played a part in Carpenter's original. Halloween is a passionate effort to give justice to such an iconic horror villain, which ends up mostly working, but still does not manage to achieve the quality horror that the original was able to achieve.
Halloween
I liked the dark backstory of Michael Myers. This film after that part is just the original Halloween but it changes some things.
