Storyline

The residents of Haddonfield don't know it yet... but death is coming to their small sleepy town. Sixteen years ago, a ten year old boy called Michael Myers brutally kills his step father, his elder sister and her boyfriend. Sixteen years later, he escapes from the mental institution and makes his way back to his hometown intent on a murderous rampage pursued by Dr Sam Loomis who is Michael's doctor and the only one who knows Michael's true evil. Elsewhere a shy teenager by the name of Laurie Strode is babysitting on the night Michael comes home... is it pure coincidence that she and her friends are being stalked by him? Written by TheSteph

Was originally going to be another sequel entitled "Halloween: Retribution" starring Lindy Booth but the idea was scrapped and they went with Rob Zombie's vision. See more »

Goofs

Just after the rape scene, Michael Myers is attacked in the back by a baton by one of the hospital workers - it leaves a very noticeable long baton-shaped dent in his back, making it very obvious that he's wearing a badly padded out bodysuit. See more »

Halloween 2007
13 December 2007 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I really loved this movie when it came out in theaters. I actually watched it twice in a row because it was so awesome!! The part I really liked when Michael captured Laurie, they had somewhat of an unusual bond that faded so many years earlier... After that happened...(well you will just have to watch the DVD to see.) The actors were great... It merely captured the spirit of the John Carpenter Classic. Even though I like the original, it's not as gory and cool like this one. It really captures the sincere moments in the life of Michael Myers and his sister Laurie Strode. And to be honest... I don't even think this is really a remake... it's a RE-DEFINED HALLOWEEN.
