The residents of Haddonfield don't know it yet... but death is coming to their small sleepy town. Sixteen years ago, a ten year old boy called Michael Myers brutally kills his step father, his elder sister and her boyfriend. Sixteen years later, he escapes from the mental institution and makes his way back to his hometown intent on a murderous rampage pursued by Dr Sam Loomis who is Michael's doctor and the only one who knows Michael's true evil. Elsewhere a shy teenager by the name of Laurie Strode is babysitting on the night Michael comes home... is it pure coincidence that she and her friends are being stalked by him?

Title: Vastly superior to the theatrical version
Review: The theatrical version was like a 30 minute Rob Zombie movie introducing little Mikey and then turned into another slash fest like all the other Halloween films. This is a 2 hour RZ movie which is more psycholgical horror than anything else. It definitely they isn't a Slasher film at all. It is an entire reimagining. And this has a 2nd disc with, I kid you not, 4.5 hour making of documentary.

Title: Not a remake but a biopic. Which version to buy (Theatrical does have widescreen). Alike another horror concept.
Review: Ridley Scott's American Gangster about real life bad guy and drug lord, Frank Lucas, in American Gangster receives two Oscar noms. Forrest Whitaker won an Oscar for his portrayal of Ugandan dictator, Idi Amin. Who says you can't do a biopic film of a fictional character? Rob Zombie does just that in this biography, not remake, of horror icon Michael Myers. I would also guess that more Americans have probably heard of the fictional, Michael Myers, than Amin, or Lucas.Zombie's Halloween goes into detail of Michael as a child, while there is still something of a child left, and the hell on earth that exists in many households. Michael Myers will become the manifestation of evil in society. Halloween was reminiscent of David Cronenberg's The Brood and how the mother's anger physically manifested itself as she spawned deformed children to seek out what angered her. Unlike the mother in The Brood Michael doesn't lash out at society but becomes the evil in society and eventually will no longer be human. True evil cannot be stopped with a gun or a knife and neither can Michael Myers.My point is Zombie's film can be looked at as poetic and a message for non violence (you think I'm crazy). Michael Myers is a metaphor for the evil in our society, specifically the evil that hides in the suburbs behind closed doors. Myers uses a mask to hide this evil as suburbs could mask this with white picket fence as a happy front. If you can't use violence to stop this evil as we do in our society then you have to go to the roots, the family and family values. Similarly the book Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time which uses education to fight terror where it starts and not bombs.There are two moments in the film where, Michael Myers, the boy fights that evil. The first, after Michael has murdered his family and is locked away in an institution he has an emotional breakdown with Dr. Loomis at Christmas time. Michael for an instant realizes the situation and is terrified this reminded me of Regan in The Exorcist (25th Anniversary Special Edition) as the demon left her. Flash to the next scene and Michael is gone and the evil has taken him. The second moment after Michael has kidnapped Laurie he once again becomes human for a moment, drops his knife, and shows his face to his sister, once Laurie stabs him and he puts the mask back on Michael is now dead and there is only evil.Zombie has a stellar cast of horror veterans that there are too many to list. Zombie does not use this as a gimmick or to wink at horror fans the film is taken seriously from beginning to end and their are solid performances all around. Rob Zombie seems to get better with each film as does his wife Sheri Moon Zombie who gave a solid performance as Michael's mother. The photograph that is shown at the end was very effective and tragic.DVD FEATURESOn Amazon it says the theatrical version is presented in Full Screen only but Disc I contains both Full Screen and Wide Screen versions. - Feature commentary by Writer/Director Rob Zombie as well.Disc IIAlternate Ending - Deleted Scenes with optional Directory's commentary - Bloopers- The Many Masks of Michael Myers - Re Imagining Halloween - Meet the cast - Casting Sessions - Laurie Strode Scree Test - Theatrical Trailer.I have seen both the unrated and theatrical versions and theatrical version is the one to go with by a mile. The unrated just throws in to many over the top incidents that really aren't needed.

Title: The Devil We Know
Review: I really do love this film. I like it more every time I see it, much like the original film, which I still think is superior, but that is not to say that this film does not have it's merits. It is a great film in its own right. If the Carpenter film is about the evil that is unknown that is out there in the world, then Zombie's film is trying to make us look very hard into the idea of myth and history and what is really there. Many people have seen this film as a biopic or trying to be to analytical of the original film, but I have to say that Zombie is trying to construct the mid american mysticism. Most people in this country believe in ghosts. It is because of religion and pop culture that we believe in things that allow us to look at a child murderer that is cute as a button and say, well, he must be possessed by a demon or a celtic deity. The reality is that he probably came from an abusive home that is pretty typical in American life. The film does not pick a particular period to be placed, but feels generally nostalgic of a memory of what American is supposed to be.I know a lot of reviewers have commented on the cursing. There is no character development they say. I am not so sure that kids that age have fully developed anything. I remember my friends getting together and just cursing and telling dirty jokes because it masked our insecurity. The articulate teen is the inner dialogue that we remember thinking in those situation that becomes the memory of what happened. This film goes directly into the face of the memory of the America that was and deconstructs it and terrorizes it.I thought I should also comment on the director's cut vs. the theatrical cut. Unlike many special editions, there is very little difference between the two films. Some people have commented that the theatrical version is much better paced, while I myself prefer the director's cut in terms of message, but I can definitely see why people would prefer the other as it does flow better. It is a shame that with all the different editions that have come out, that they haven't offered both versions of the film at the same time, but if I was only going to ever own one, I would go with the director's cut. The reason that I have the theatrical cut on DVD as opposed to Blu Ray, which is the director's cut is on, is because if I am on the go, my DVD is more accessible. The biggest difference being the escape sequence where Michael takes on several guards. Another big difference is that Dr. Loomis dies in the theatrical version. All this seems to focus on Michael as this unstoppable monster, where the slower pace of the director's cut focuses more on Michael as the victim. It is a little slower and more methodical.

Review: Creo que el sello de Rob se siente en cada momento. No sólo por la selección siempre lógica del elenco, sino por la misma forma de contar una historia que no puede ser contada de diferente forma, a mi parecer. Si no has visto esta versión o eres fan de Mr. Zombie como director, entonces te recomiendo este DVD.En la parte técnica, el DVD se ve muy bien, y no se extraña la versión blu-ray. Sin mencionar que el servicio de entrega y seriedad siempre estuvo presente. Como fan del genero de terror, añado a mi colección esta pieza, junto a la segunda parte de la misma que ya poseÃa. Saludos!
