Halloween (the 2007 remake) --A

Rob Zombie dares to remake the greatest scary movie of all time? What was he thinking? Who cares, all that matters is that he did a great job! It differs in that he explains more of the Michael Meyers childhood and why he is, the way he is. I was prepared for it to be a suck fest because it had huge potential to be very hokey but again, not too over the top and demented enough to have it fit into the original.
SPOILER ALERT -------------------------I was hoping they would have explained in this one, which they did not in the original either, how Michael knew Laurie was his sister, but they didn't so I was sad about that.---------------------
The acting was fun, teen age horror film acting and there was PLENTY of gratuitous nudity to keep any straight man happy. Overall, 4 paper mache masks out of 5.
