I liked the movie for its brutality and I did like the build up in the beginning, but I felt the sets were too cluttered and dark in the end and the cuts were shaky and rough, making the movie really difficult to watch. Basically what it came down to for me is if the original Halloween was never made, I dont feel that this version would have become the classic that the original became, it would just be looked over as another average slasher flick.
I still back Zombie 100%, he is one of the better directors that have surfaced recently in the genre, but I didnt feel this movie was nearly as strong as Devils Rejects
