Fri, 8 Aug 2008 16:26:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pdickey - This is a classic movie that everyone must watch at least once, preferably not alone. The original slasher movie that spawned a thousand crappy sequels. This was the first and the best of the entire slasher genre. If you are a horror fan you must see...

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 13:25:21 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author johnulmer - On paper, a "Halloween" remake looked interesting. Zombie tries to go back to the character's origin and reinvent him - it's a recent trend in Hollywood ("Batman Begins," "Casino Royale," the upcoming "Incredible Hulk," etc.), so it's not quite...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thegoat3 - What's scarier than a man in a white mask stocking poor and innocent teenagers and brutally murdering them with a kitchen knife? Nothing, and that’s why I loved this movie. When I was younger I grew up watching the Halloween series. I have watched...

mvie mu-1009113: This Unsatisfying Movie Falls Way Short of It's Goals

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 00:46:32 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sarah5775 - This review gives away some aspects of the movie's plot. I will start out by saying that I never saw the original Halloween, so I did not rate this movie against it. Nor did I have any nostalgia going into it. I approached this movie as I would any...

mvie mu-1009113: Rebirth of a Classic

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 03:30:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author steelcorpfilms - At first glance, you'd think there's no way in heck this movie could even be remotely good. The original is just too great, too much of a classic, and even thinking about remaking it is such a blasphemy that anyone involved should be immediately stricken...

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 03:23:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author steelcorpfilms - Here it is. The beginning of the modern slasher genre.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author malakijr - Sheri Moon Zombie did a great job playing a shrill, annoying character in House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects, but I wondered if she had any acting ability beyond that. I can safely say I was very impressed with her performance in this movie...

Sat, 22 Dec 2007 19:33:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author j-bar - First thing's first, this review of Rob Zombie's Halloween isn't going to be a comparison to John Carpenter's 1978 horror genre classic. I'll say right up front that even though I'm a horror aficionado, JC's movie never greatly impressed me, and I...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author goodfellamike - HALLOWEEN (2007) The first half of Halloween displays to us a rather dysfunctional family unit; led by the mother (Sheri Moon) and her boyfriend (William Forsythe), they appear to be absentee parents to three kids: newborn baby, Laurie, promiscuous...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Ed.Williamson - I can still remember when I heard it. I must have been very young, five years old maybe. ”Don’t go beyond the neighborhood into the woods there. They say the boogeyman lives there.” The boogeyman? What…or who is that? I soon...

Mon, 24 Sep 2007 21:50:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author antihero79 - John Carpenter may not (scratch that, did not) invent the heavily exploited & milked to death slasher genre. For that matter, his 1978 benchmark classic Halloween may not be the grandaddy slasher movie of all time (it's a matter of...
