Even though the film raked in a little more $80 million worldwide, which made it the highest-grossing film in the series


Although Zombie follows the premise of Carpenter’s original- with Michael Myers stalking Laurie Strode and her friends on Halloween night, Zombie’s film goes deeper into the character’s psyche, trying to answer the question of what drove the iconic killer to violence.

the film, which cost $15 million to make, went on to gross $80,208,039 worldwide. This makes it the highest-grossing film in the HALLOWEEN franchise

Not to mention the cinematography done by Zombie regular Phil Parmet (THE DEVILS REJECTS) is absolutely stunning, and essentially follows a 3 part story. The story of Young Michael Myers wis very grainy and handheld. Flashing forward to 15 years later, where we follow Laurie Strode (Compton) and friends, the film seems very smooth and full of rich, warm colors. The finale of the film however, almost feels like a disturbing documentary. Which makes sense given Parmet’s extensive background in documentaries prior to the film, topped off with Tyler Bates edgy score I think the one thing that Zombie really did achieve with this classic was a visceral and dark look into the mind of America’s favorite serial killer!
And no one cares abut Zombie's tacky little first year film student movie now that we have a superior new Halloween movie franchise to watch thanks to David Gordon Green and Danny McBride that also has the seal of approval from John Carpenter himself.

:francis: Not Zombie’s problem that you lack the capacity to view his movies in layers.

Zombie stages his kills to linger a beat or two too long. The violence is drawn out and bloody, but it feels less sadistic than provocative. Zombie’s Halloween isn’t Funny Games, but it asks some of the same questions: Why are you watching this? Is this really what you want to see?

Zombie’s Halloween is a tragedy that unfolds on two fronts: the killings themselves, and the neglect and mistreatment that made the killer. (His 2009 follow-up, Halloween II,can’t quite sustain that unease, unfortunately.) It never asks us to sympathize with Michael, but it does ask us to understand him.

:hhh:

Rob Zombie movies are about as deep as a puddle. His Halloween didn't ask questions because he was so obsessed with explaining everything like the audience was made up of dunces who couldn't understand nuance or subtext.
And his Halloween did try to make us sympathize with Michael in the most vapid way possible by saying he became a homicidal maniac because he was white trash raised by an over-the-hill skanky stripper and he got bullied in school.

ALONE
One morning, lonely surfer Aidan (Tyler Posey, "Teen Wolf") awakens to find that a global pandemic has turned most of humanity into bloodthirsty zombies. Just as he's ready to give up hope, Aidan spots his attractive neighbor Eva (Summer Spiro, "Westworld") across his apartment complex's courtyard, and soon the two become "socially distant" friends. Trying to find a way to rescue her, Aidan confronts an eccentric neighbor (Donald Sutherland, The Hunger Games series) who could be their salvation - or downfall.



I remember seeing an earlier version of this trailer and thinking it looked similar to the Korean film #ALIVE but after watching #ALIVE it is very obvious that this is just an American remake of that movie.
