The original. The original. And in the original. And what I liked about the original. And what separates this from the original. Shut up. This isn't the original. It's a remake. And it's pretty stellar. Zombie creates an unsettling and gritty remake of Halloween with this REMAKE. It respects the original and it's cry baby fan-base and gives us an origin story to boot. It's solid as can be for what it is. This isn't reinventing the wheel folks. There was nothing particularly "genius" about the characters or their mythology in the first place. Carpenter, all respect due, created one of the greatest slasher films ever..but he also created one of horror movies creepiest soundtracks and slasher masks as well. Zombie was payed a butt load of money to reboot it. That he did, it works, fans cried like little babies, ticked him off so he dumped a hot steaming pile of metaphysical garbage on us with the sequel. Serves you right. Watch this one, skip the sequel and remember...you've seen it before so it won't blow your mind. This movie will be respected in years to come and folks will have it on their dumb under-appreciated lists once it's "cool" to like it again. Right now it's uncool to like it. Be a rebel and give them the bird.
