I was pleasantly surprised...
30 September 2009 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

To be honest I have never really cared for any of the halloweens, actually im not even sure if i liked Rob Zombies first re-make. But this one I thought was great. I was pleasantly surprised. It was Very gory and psychotic. None of the original Halloween movies have ever scared me but there were a few parts that made me jump in this remake. I wasn't even really wanting to see this flick but my brother talked me into going with him because he is obsessed with them. Im glad I did go, definitely worth seeing. I don't care what anyone else says, Rob did a great job. This movie was a successs. P.s. The first killing in my opinion was the sickest.
