Review of Halloween

Halloween (2007)
8/10
Very good - not Carpenter, but very good!

Rob Zombie continues to impress me with his more recent movies. I dreaded what could have been a more surgical or in-your-face approach to the juggernaut-style horror tale...and was truly pleased with the result. Is it all logical? Fairy tales aren't, and this version is straight out of the Brothers Grimm grimmer stories. I'll add that the picture/action compositions with the subtle use of focus, framing, color were top shelf. As usual, Zombie has some twisted jokes in there - but many are subtle interactions of soundtrack/action, etc. If you want to see something more than an endless chase, like the interplay of psychological and physical horror, watch this.
