Only a few weeks to go until one of the most controversial horror films in a while comes to DVD. This is has kind of polarized the horror community as some have liked it and others can't stand to admit that it even exists.
Personally, I liked it the look and feel of the film just had some issues with the story.
Here are all the details, check out the artwork there on the right and there are a ton of pics at the bottom of this whole article.
Enjoy:
“Splat Pack” horror filmmaker, Rob
Zombie’s (The Devil’s
Rejects, House
of 1,000 Corpses)
re-imagination of the original slasher film Halloween
makes it mark as a 2-disc Unrated
Director’s Cut DVD December 18 from Genius Products and The
Weinstein Company. One of the most terrifying and iconic horror
franchises, Halloween
delves into the troubled childhood of anti-hero Michael Myers and
uncovers the making of the pathologically disturbed masked killer.
Former World Champion Wrester Tyler Mane (X-Men,
Troy,
The Scorpion King),
a.k.a. Big Sky, gives a bone-chilling performance as a psychotic but
silent killer who escapes from a mental institution, dons the
haunting guise, wields a kitchen knife and wreaks havoc on his
hometown. Halloween
also features suspenseful and thrilling performances from Malcolm
McDowell (“Entourage,” “Heroes”), William Forsythe (The
Devil’s Rejects,
Freedomland),
Danny Trejo (Grindhouse’s
Machete, Once Upon A Time In Mexico),
among others. Since being introduced to audiences in 1978 by
acclaimed genre director John Carpenter the Halloween
franchise has become an
institution and features one of the most iconic villains in film
history. Available in the original theatrical version (featuring
both widescreen and full screen presentations) and an Unrated
widescreen Director’s Cut with 11 extra minutes of footage too
terrifying for theaters, the Halloween
DVD includes a second disc with seventeen deleted scenes, bloopers,
casting sessions and more (see details next page) and will be
available for the suggested retail price of $29.95.
Synopsis
The
residents of Haddonfield don't know it yet... but death is coming to
their sleepy small town. Sixteen years ago, a young boy named
Michael Myers brutally killed his stepfather, his elder sister and
her boyfriend. Now, he’s escaped from the mental institution and
makes his way back to his hometown intent on continuing his murderous
rampage.
