Halloween is a 2007 American slasher film written, directed, and produced by Rob Zombie. It is a remake of John Carpenter's 1978 horror film of the same name and the ninth installment in the Halloween franchise. The film stars Malcolm McDowell, Sheri Moon Zombie, Tyler Mane, Scout Taylor-Compton, Brad Dourif, Danielle Harris, and William Forsythe. The "reimagining" follows Michael Myers who murdered his family as a child and becomes institutionalized at an asylum, before breaking out and stalking Laurie Strode and her friends on Halloween night.
Working from Carpenter's advice to "make [the film] his own",[5] Zombie chose to develop the film as both an origin story and a remake, allowing for more original content than simply re-filming the same scenes.
Halloween was released in the United States on August 31, 2007, by the Weinstein Company, under their Dimension Films banner, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The film received generally negative reviews from critics, but grossed over $80 million worldwide against a production budget of $15 million. A sequel, Halloween II, was released in 2009.
