Halloween is a 2007 American
slasher film written, directed, and produced by
Rob Zombie. The film is a
remake/
reimagining of the 1978 horror
film of the same name, the first in the rebooted
Halloween film series and the ninth Halloween film in total. The film stars
Tyler Mane as the adult
Michael Myers,
Malcolm McDowell as
Dr. Sam Loomis, and
Scout Taylor-Compton as
Laurie Strode;
Daeg Faerch portrays a ten-year-old Michael Myers. Rob Zombie's "reimagining" follows the premise of
John 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 him to kill people, whereas in Carpenter's original film Michael did not have an explicit reason for killing.
