Rob Zombie 1's alright, I mean I prefer Michael Myers as just an evil kid without explicit reason -- without the obvious bullying & parental abuse backstory. But as it's own thing, this new kid Myers does a good job with the role, and I like the early fixation with masks. I actually like the story building up Loomis's therapy more and watching Myers grow into a rather brutish dude (although RIP Donald Pleasence, that's a hard one to replace).

Speaking of hard to replace... when the remake actually gets to the core of Halloween 1 is where gets a bit mediocre. JLC frankly carried the original but in the remake she's a more typical kid. I'm not even that big on the original but this part of the remake just feels like a weaker version of it. Like it feels weird to not really get much of the original's stalking scenes. The rampage on Halloween night was also just incredibly dark, maybe it's my monitor but I could hardly tell what was happening.
