High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Halloween is a 2007 American slasher film written, directed, and produced by Rob Zombie. The film is a remake/reimagining of the 1978 horror film of the same name, the first in the rebooted Halloween film series and the ninth Halloween film in total. The film stars Tyler Mane as the adult Michael Myers, Malcolm McDowell as Dr. Sam Loomis, and Scout Taylor-Compton as Laurie Strode; Daeg Faerch portrays a ten-year-old Michael Myers. Rob Zombie`s "reimagining" follows the premise of John Carpenter`s original, with Michael Myers stalking Laurie Strode and her friends on Halloween night. Zombie`s film goes deeper into the character`s psyche, trying to answer the question of what drove him to kill people, whereas in Carpenter`s original film Michael did not have an explicit reason for killing.
