Stiati ca:

The inclusion of the plot line about Michael Meyers' early days at the mental institution under the care of Sam Loomis is a nod to a plot line added in by John Carpenter for the TV viewing of the original Halloween (1978). As told by Carpenter, when the original film was first sold to TV, they demanded added scenes to replace the edited portions of the murder scenes. So Carpenter recalled 'Donald Pleasance', the original Sam Loomis to film scenes of him at the hospital taking care of Michael.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When the ten-year-old Michael Myers goes to get the knife from the drawer to kill his sister, as he removes it the knife bends slightly, revealing that it to be a fake.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Michael Myers - Child: Come on, sweetie pie. Morning, Elvis. You're a pretty Elvis, aren't you? Yes, you are.

Blood, Breasts, and Sluts.. Oh My!

Oh wow, here was 2 hours of my life I will never get back. I went in with no preconceptions of the movie because I had never seen the originals (*gasp* I know!). My best friend, however, was a big fan of the originals and had told me all the basic details so I thought it might be an okay movie. I'm all for a suspenseful movie that leaves you on the edge of your seat. Unfortunately, this movie will make you want to get off your seat and run as far away as you possibly can. I constantly checked the second hand on my wrist watch during the last hour of this ridiculous movie.

Basically all this movie was about was senseless gore, breasts, sex, white trash, and teenage girl's who love using the f-bomb and making ridiculous sexual comments. At one point they pretended to hump each other and make squealing noises and I seriously thought I may just burst out into tears. I was a teenager not too long ago, and though some girls are immature and ridiculous, I've never seen anyone talk or act that way. It was so forced and fake that you wanted to throw up in your mouth a little. I know I did.

Basically, Zombie tries to give the mass murderer a soul and a background and it just doesn't work. Watching a 10 year old mercilessly kill everyone in his path is just disturbing. They say he has no conscience, and doesn't understand right from wrong. So basically, Rob's trying to give a soul to a person that is soulless? What??!?! Does that even make a lick of sense? No, I didn't think so!He wants us to sympathize with the character but how can anyone actually give any sort of sympathy to a kid who tortures animals and slays his whole family just because they didn't take him trick or treating.

The movie is not at all creepy. He basically just walks up to his victim, whacks them over the head, stabs them, or beats them to a pulp. There is no fighting back, for of course, he's a 7 foot monstrosity that cannot be stopped. So he basically just runs around slitting throats and creating a blood bath. Wow.. inventive..

And please, don't even get me started on all the sex scenes. Basically, every woman in the movie is a slut. If you are a teenage boy, you will absolutely love this movie because you will see breasts at every corner. Some breasts are even covered in blood, for the sadistic horny teen as well. For everyone else, we're just wondering.. and the point of that was....??? I walked out of that movie feeling as though my IQ had lowered. I also felt like I needed to repent or something because that movie had seriously compromised my moral character! My best friend just looked at me and said, "I really just don't know what to say." You'll walk out of this movie speechless too, but not because it was a fantastic edge of your seat horror, but because it was so incredibly bad you just have no idea where to start. Skip it, your wallet will thank you.
