  • Our take on the Halloween Blu-Ray

    This is Rob Zombie's 2007 remake of John Carpenter's Halloween, released on Blu-ray in 2008. It retells Michael Myers' origin in grim detail, spending its first act on his abusive childhood before the adult killing spree. Zombie's version is longer, harsher and more explicit than Carpenter's lean original, and it splits fans: some prefer the original's restraint, others the brutal backstory. The Blu-ray carries the theatrical cut, not the longer unrated version, so buyers wanting the extended footage should look elsewhere.

    Questions and answers

    Is this the theatrical or unrated version?
    The theatrical cut. The longer unrated version was released separately, so check the label before buying if you want the extended footage.
    How does it compare with the 1978 original?
    It spends far more time on Myers' childhood and is more graphic. The original is more restrained and suspenseful; this one is bleaker and gorier.
    Is it a sequel or a remake?
    A remake. It retells the 1978 story with a new origin sequence rather than continuing the original series.
    Does it include special features?
    Extras are limited, mainly a commentary and a few short featurettes. Don't expect a loaded collector's edition.
    Is it worth watching for Rob Zombie fans?
    Yes, if you like his grim style. It carries his usual crude dialogue and brutal violence, which is exactly what divides other viewers.

    At Best Buy, for $16.13, as of our latest check.
