Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMalcolm McDowell ruined a great number of takes by invoking hysterical laughter in the other actors.
- Goofs(at around 33 mins) No asylum where a character is imprisoned as criminally insane would give inmates metal forks. They would be replaced by plastic cutlery, for exactly the reasons that they end up being used here - fear of being used as weapons to attack staff or other inmates.
- Quotes
Dr. Samuel Loomis: His eyes will deceive you; they will destroy you. They will take from you your innocence, your pride, and eventually your soul. These eyes do not see what you and I see. Behind these eyes one finds only blackness, the absence of light. These are the eyes of a psychopath.

The original is one of my favourite films, certainly my favourite horror film, it was a game changer, the iconic slasher movie. I had always shuddered at the thought of it being remade, but this, nowhere near the quality of the original, but it's a cracking movie, Rob Zombie dared to do the unthinkable.
I'd call it quite a respectful remake, they of course out a new spin on it, but they keep some scenes, they even keep some of the music, I suppose they knew full well that some things were worth keeping.
I loved the backstory of Michael, we see him go from troubled child to brutal killer.
What this film really is, is violent, it lacks any sort of suspense, there are no scares, or those moments when you see him appear from the shadows to give you jump scares, what you get is brutality, if you enjoy that, Zombie delivers.
It's pretty good, 8/10.
