The incarnation of John Carpenter’s 1978 horror film “Halloween” is re-done by Rob Zombie. Zombie takes the 1978 film and does what most incarnated films have trouble doing, building from the original. Zombie portrayed Michael Myers as a new age serial killer. This film was brilliant, the plot hardly changed between the original and new version, yet the new era of film making enhanced Halloween even more.
Michael Myers in the film is portrayed as a young boy who went through a tough, yet very abnormal childhood. His mom was a stripper who hardly had a care in the world for him, his sister was a teenage slut who wanted nothing to do with him, and his mom’s boy friend was a sadistic son of a bitch who bullied and beat him. Michael only had one care in that family and that was for his little infant sister. He was far from being the perfect kid living in such a harsh environment like that one. He practically drove himself to become the psycho killer he later turns into. He goes through a rough childhood and doesn’t learn how to handle his anger or frustrations. Instead of communicating with others to solve his problems he would go out into the woods behind his house and trap wild animals then perform sadistic acts of harm against them. The principle of his elementary school finds mutilated animal pictures in his book bag and decided to have him meet with a psychologist. But after that meeting all hell broke loose, he went on a killing spree in his own home and killed his mother’s boy friend, his sister, and her boy friend. He is convicted to living in a mental institution for 30 years. But he escapes from the mental home after 17 long years of suffering. He was committed when he was only10 years old. Now he is a very dangerous 27-year-old man. He returns to his home in search of the one person in the world he has ever cared about, his younger sister. He will stop at nothing to find her and who ever gets in his way along his search will be slaughtered.
