A brilliant film, but not appropriate even for my age (17).
First off, this movie is not at all scary. What it is is a reimagined, rethought, and horrifically violent slasher film remake. Even though this movie is technically a remake, it's not at all like the original. The original was a boring, bland, average 70's slasher. This one is an brutally innovative retelling of not only the story of Michael Myers' killing spree, but also his childhood, humanizing him a bit (but still not portraying him in any sane way). Despite how well-done the movie was, it's not appropriate for minors. The language is awful, especially the first ten minutes, which contains at least 50 obscenities, most of them f-words. The movie also has the most vulgar sexual language you can imagine. The sexual content is very explicit, not only in references but also in actual scenes, which show teens having sex. Sex scenes are pushing even an R rating, with a lot of thrusting and nudity. (The unrated director's cut also has a rape scene, which was cut out of the R-rated version.) Another offensive item is the amount of teen drinking. However, the violence is more shocking than any of the above. In movies such as "Dawn of the Dead", the violence is extremely gory, but could never be interpreted as realistic. The violence in this movie is not as bloody, but is a thousand times more realistic and brutal. The beginning of the movie is all about a young boy going mental and killing four people. The first is a bully at school who he lures out into the woods and beats to death with a tree branch. The second one to go is the child's abusive stepdad, who has his throat slit wide open, gushing blood. The third is his sister's boyfriend, who has his head beaten into pulp with a baseball bat. Finally, his sister dies, being stabbed by her younger brother multiple times with a kitchen knife. All of this is shown in gory detail, and it's just the beginning of the movie! (And all of this covers the R-rated version; the director's cut is even worse.) Do I even need to say more? I would wholeheartedly recommend this movie to mature adults, but never to teens, even myself.

Bad but Satisfying
Ok, I saw all the originals and liked all of them (mainly because Jamie Lee Curtis starred in them). I saw the Unrated Edition, Usually, I see no difference in a rated and a unrated film, but this time the difference was huge. On the unrated version there is this rape scene where these 2 guys gang rape this girl in Michael Myers' cell. The scene lasts about 30 seconds but it is very graphic. Also, the movie is 2hours long. So it will take while for the real horror scenes to pop in. On the overall, This movie is a great horror film to watch on a gloomy night. Apart from that nasty rape scene, the movie was great.

Well, I'm 17 now, and watched it when I was 15 I think. I watched the unrated version. My oh my!! sex, sex, sex, sex, sex. That's basically what the movie revolved around. A lot of nudity, and vrey showy, on screen sex. The MOST disturbing part was the rape seen... really messed up. Very violent, and sometimes had to look away at all the gore...

See the Original
All I can say is the original 1978 John Carpenter version of this film is a classic, easily one of the most effective horror films ever made. This remake is easily one of the least.

not for kids.
this 2007 remake Halloween is a waste of time and is definitely not for kids this horror movie is only for adults and parents you need to know that halloween has a lot of intense violence and gory scenes there is a lot of sex and graphic nudity throughout the movie characters use constant strong language and High schoolers smoke and drink beer.

The CSM review did not mention the horrible rape scene of a female mental hospital patient, which I thought was the most disturbing part of the movie. This may only be in the unrated Director's Cut that I saw though.

Just So Bad... So, So Bad... "Halloween: Director's Cut"
Where do I start? Writing is bad. Acting is bad. Direction is bad. Too much sex including a prolonged disturbing and unsettling rape scene of a teenaged girl inside a mental asylum and the attackers are POLICE OFFICERS!! Also, a mother is okay with her teenage daughter having sex with her in the house. Kids talk of sex acts and masturbate. A girl jokes about being sexually molested by her teacher to her mother. Multiple sex scenes. A boy visits his mother at work, and she is a stripper. Constant sexual dialogue. Violence is relentless and disturbingly brutal. Language is appalling, even for an UNRATED release. Just... I can't even explain how upset I was by this film's content. It was just disturbing. That's the word for it, really. Disturbing. I can't even say "enjoy" at the end of this review because if you enjoy this trash then you've got nerves of steel and a heart of stone. 1/5 stars. BANNED. How can you enjoy this?

A disappointment - but worth a watch for hardcore fans.
I'm quite disappointed with this film. After reading a lot of other comments on another site, I thought I would buy it since I am a huge horror fan. But this was a let down, Michael Myers was shown too much which gave this movie very little suspense. The language is very disturbing, especially coming from a child's mouth, but every second sentence contains major swearing. The rape scene in the unrated version was totally unnecessary and stupid. There's too much nudity! 3/5, only because the acting was good, and it was scary for what it is. NO ONE under 18 should watch this!

This movie is goodish minus the s3x, drugs, and drinking inwhich this movie is all about. rob zombie had very good kills but beside the kills is all s3x blood and a phycopathic killer growing up in a mental institute that take 40% away from the movie which make that almost half the movie boring. Halloween 2 is coming soon and rob zombie is back and going to scr3w with the original halloween 2. in h2 /as it shows in the trailer/ most of the movie is flash backs. And apparently the reason for all his killing is becaus of a gosht telling him to do it but anyway halloween was okish.

Great, and here is why...
I absolutely LOVE that Rob Zombie was able to show how this young, lost boy grew up to be who he became. While I don't agree with murder, I found myself a bit more understanding as to who Michael was and why he did the things he did, as sick and disturbing as they were. Definitely not intended for kids, but it's a Rob Zombie movie so I am sure that goes without saying.

Shameful re-make of a classic horror movie
I am a fan of the original 1973 Halloween movie and I was digusted and ashamed of what Rob Zombie did to this character. He basically made a bloody, disturbing, porno out of a classic horror movie. It's a real shame.
