♥ Halloween ♥
The original Halloween came out over 25 years ago in 1978 and due its phenomenal success, 7 sequels followed after. With basically nowhere left for the story to go a remake or reimagining was the only way to keep the series fresh and alive. So in 2006, Rob Zombie was called upon to see whether he was up to this dangerous task. I mean, after all, the original Halloween is considered by many as the greatest horror movie of ...
...and in 2007, Rob Zombie's Halloween was released...
♥ The Movie ♥
Part remake and part reimagining, Rob Zombie's Halloween is two movies in one. The movie is almost two hours in length, the first half focussing on the childhood of Michael Myers (the series villain) and what led to him becoming what he is today. The second half being basically a re-hash of the original Halloween. In the first half, we learn of Michael's troubled life ...

Rob Zombie's Halloween
Advantages: terrifying, amazing effects
Disadvantages: unneccesary nudity
...is the directors cut edition, Halloween Uncut. Effectively the same movie, but the cover and features may differ a tad. So Rob Zombie Directs this movie, which is a re-imagining of the original story rather than another tired sequel. I liked this idea and was curious from the start. So the story goes that Michael Myers killed his family when he was a youngster, all but his baby sister. He then escapes from the assylum where he is kept, and tracks ...
...I was pretty prepared for lots of blood and guts, as in the other Haloween movies, but was hoping that, under Robs Direction, the movies could become as spine tingling as they were originally, as they had become so commercialised, slasher flicks and I was becoming more and more disappointed with them. So I tucked myself in bed with some popcorn and a big blanket, and began to watch. From start to finish, I couldnt take my eyes off the wonderful cinematography, ...

''Never sleep again..'' A Nightmare on Elm Street
Advantages: Clever Original /Great Slasher /Horror
Disadvantages: None worth mentioning
...even though the film is a certificate 18. From what I could gather back then, from the way that kids were trying to scare the hell out of each other while re-telling bits of the movie,Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) was a very bad and scary character from a horror movie which it seemed only the 'cool' kids of the class were either allowed to have seen or were brave enough to watch sneekily behind their parents backs. I however, being the sort of ...
...back just incase it had a bad word or mild violence etc ... was not ever gonna get near a movie like this , and to be honest, all the other kids talking about 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' probably scared me enough into not wanting to see it back then at age 10. I spotted this Brand New 2 disc special edition on eBay for £2.99, so of course I snapped it up. So finally at age 29 I was able to see this movie for the first time. For some reason I had ...

exorcist trilogy
Advantages: First film was great
Disadvantages: Third film not as good as expected
...girl whom was possessed by the devil. The film which was previously banned thanks to the church made a big impact on the public when it was originally released.
The girl becomes possessed in the first film, the church becomes involved in order to rid her of the demon. She survives and then goes on to make a second film years later after the first film caused a nervous breakdown for the young actress.
The second film takes place four years later. ...
...cult of the locusts. This was a great film but not as heart stopping as the first.
The third film is about the young priest from the first film whom was posessed by a serial killer who was executed at the same time as the original exorcism was taking place.
A great set of film's. 100% must see. They are great original movies, was one of the scariest films around. The intensity of these films make them great. The director obviousy wanted to scare ...
