Product Description
Following his fateful Halloween night murder rampage in the quiet town of Haddonfield, Illinois, Michael Myers begins 17 years of incarceration at the Smith's Grove Sanitarium maximum-security mental facility where he is treated by noted child behaviorist Dr. Samuel Loomis--the only person who can truly understand Michael's evil nature. Now, 17 years later, Michael escapes from the mental facility on Halloween day and begins a murderous trek back to Haddonfield to continue his killing streak and seek resolution to events from his past.

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.

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.
Discs are in good shape, and I did not encounter any problems watching either disc.
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.
Classic story, Good quality film.

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 poseía. Saludos!
Zu den Rest des Fim kann ich nur sagen klasse. Fängt sofort Stark an und die Spannung hält bis Ende an. Ok über die vielen F Wörter im Film kann man streiten. Ich fand es auch ziemlich übertrieben. Allgemein das der Film etwas mehr auf "Erotik" setzt nenne ich mal ;) Aber ansonsten Top Film ich kann mich nur wiederholen. Und für jeden Myers Fan auf jeden Fall Plicht. Für mich gehört Rob Zombies Halloween mit zu den besten Teilen der Serie.
Die Blu-Ray selber bietet ein 1A Bild und Sound. Auf der 2.ten Disk findet man einige Infos wie MakingOf,Alternatbies Ende,Outtakes ect.
Für mich 5*
