10 Worst Slasher Movie Reboots Ever Made

Rob Zombie's Halloween, was, objectively, a rather good horror film. It failed as a remake as a result of its heavy deviation from the spirit of the original, but was a solid enough film in its own right to prevent it from earning a spot on this list.

So, how did Zombie decide to follow it up? With a sequel that is both objectively terrible and subjectively terrible. There is absolutely no tension to be found in this movie, tension being what made the original Halloween, and even its sequel, so great. Of all of the slasher remakes who took the easy route and packed the film with as much gore as they possibly could, this one is by far the worst offender. Not to mention the fact that as a remake to 1981's Halloween II, it doesn't try at all to be faithful, so not much worth saying there.

Worse yet, both iconic protagonists of the Halloween franchise, Laurie Strode and Dr. Sam Loomis, have their characters butchered beyond recognition in this film, written against everything the characters are supposed to stand for.

The original Laurie (played by Jamie Lee Curtis) was portrayed as scared and helpless, but only because that's how anyone would be in her situation, but when push came to shove, she could be a brave hero, willing to take the fight right to Michael Myers, in addition to being a genuinely kindhearted person. In this film, she is portrayed as nothing more than a snivelling, mean-spirited coward with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. And the decision to turn the selfless and noble Dr. Loomis into a fame-hungry sellout is enough to make Donald Pleasence roll in his grave.

This film is not scary, not interesting, and displays no regard for what this series is supposed to be about. It is the worst Halloween film in the entire series, bar none.
