10 Dumbest Movie Reboots Ever

Ever watched John Carpenter's seminal horror classic, 1978's Halloween, and thought to yourself, 'this would just be so much better if all of the characters were rednecks and completely awful, unlikable people'? If you said yes, you're not alone because that's apparently exactly what Rob Zombie thought.

Whereas the first film is from Laurie Strode's perspective and all about the evil invading the classically suburban homestead, Zombie's film switches the perspective to Michael's and makes the suburban homestead evil from the get-go. In and of themselves, these are not bad ideas. Filmmakers like David Lynch have milked the 'suburbia is evil at its core' element before to exquisite results and the idea of seeing an entire film from Michael's shoes at least has the potential to offer us something we've never really seen before.

But Zombie completely whiffs in the execution. The evil nature of suburbia boils down to everyone just being an incomprehensibly annoying !*$% that can't leave the screen quick enough. Even good-natured, innocent Laurie Strode is sexualized and turned into a gratingly agitating stereotype of a teenage girl.

And also, we don't even get to experience the film from Michael's perspective. We follow Michael, but he's never our protagonist. We're seeing his killings through the eyes of the people he is killing rather than his own. So instead of an interesting twist on the formula, we just keep having to attempt to relate to a litany of different characters we know nothing about and who are only on-screen for a matter of minutes.
