It’s got Malcolm McDowell, and he performs well, showcasing his skill with accents. However, I have to deduct a star simply because it's a reboot, which I generally dislike, particularly when it comes to slasher films. The pattern seems to be endless sequels requiring Roman numerals from encyclopedias just to keep track of the numbering. Something like "Halloween MCMLXXVIII: This Time It’s Easter," you know? Still, I'll give one star for Malcolm McDowell because he does a good job. So that makes two stars: **. Then there’s the matter of what seems to be Zombies' intention to display nudity and specifically numerous naked women being killed by a terrible male monster after committing adultery. Three stars: ***. It’s possible—though I have to stretch quite a bit to believe it—that he was attempting some kind of satire of the slasher genre, featuring all those nude victims. But he might just as easily have been aiming for mainstream snuff film. I'm truly unsure which direction he intended...so we're back to two stars: ** because I’m not convinced it was satire and I need a bit more certainty. We can’t add any more, though, since the movie already exists. When it was released in 1978, it had a certain moodiness and atmosphere, and it strongly resembled Halloween, but as a nightmare version. Zombie's remake feels like an inferior copy of Halloween. The outdoor scenes that are meant to evoke a seasonal feeling actually remind me more of Thanksgiving football games. They lack the nightmarish quality of Halloween and don’t capture the small-town atmosphere of *Season of the Witch*. The scary parts, really, any slasher movie could do them. And by the way, when did *Halloween* become about T&A? I thought that was *Friday the 13th*'s thing—we watched *Halloween* for atmosphere and scares...at least in the first two films. So I suppose my point is that it features Malcolm McDowell, which helps a little. He’s always enjoyable to watch, even in his less successful movies…like this one.
