Summary: Poor script, filmmaking by numbers
Review: HALLOWEEN RESURRECTION (USA 2002): A group of teens spend the night in the derelict ruin of Michael Myers' family home as part of an Internet-based 'reality show'. But Myers himself is lurking on the premises, and he decimates them, one by one...If HALLOWEEN H20 20 YEARS LATER (1998) represented a giant step forward in the HALLOWEEN franchise, then Rick Rosenthal's tired sequel HALLOWEEN RESURRECTION takes ten giant steps back again. The film's many problems stem from an ill-conceived script by Larry Brand and Sean Hood, which opens with a 'final' confrontation between Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis at her most haggard) and her murderous brother, before launching into a whole new storyline, one that fails to build on the promise of its illustrious predecessor. The scenario is wholly unconvincing and the characters are little more than cannon fodder for the rampaging killer, while the casting of rap artist Busta Rhymes as proprietor of an unlikely Internet website simply panders to audience gullibility (Rhymes does his best, but he's simply not a credible actor). Rosenthal's participation marks his return to the series for the first time since HALLOWEEN II (1981), but while his earlier sequel was lively and atmospheric, 'Resurrection' is merely competent and uninspired, no more or less. Some of the murders are surprisingly grisly, but there's very little suspense and no memorable set-pieces, just a meandering plot which goes nowhere. The addition of a schoolboy character (Ryan Merriman) who helps the survivors of Michael's rampage by texting messages to them while watching events unfold online is quite painful to behold (and will eventually date the movie quite badly), and the film's only worthwhile sequence - in which a fake Michael Myers is confronted by the Real Thing - is resolved in an unbelievable manner. This is HALLOWEEN for the Internet generation, on a par with the very worst of the Michael Myers franchise to date. Naturally, Dimension's DVD presentation is slick and colorful, with glorious sound and picture quality, and includes a number of worthwhile extras, such as deleted scenes, audio commentary, and various other production supplements. It's a great disc, but the film itself is typical of the empty-headed rubbish which passes for 'genre' movies at Dimension/Miramax/Buena Vista. 89m 25s

Summary: HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!
Review: If I didn't have to at least give this movie 1 star, I would have given it nothing. First, Jamie Lee Curtis appears in the first 5 minutes of the movie just to get killed? What's the point? The rest of the movie was just plain boring, stupid, and not scary. No suspense whatsoever, and anybody who thinks this movie is any good at all is a complete moron. Besides, you can't just chop off Michael Myers' head in H20 and then make Resurrection and say that Michael pulled the old switcharoo and it was somebody else's head that got cut off. Uh uh. I'm not letting anybody get away with that. Michael's head was off in H20, and that's where it ends in my mind. Resurrection was just a pathetic attempt to raise more box office dollars, and nothing more.

Summary: BIG disappointment.
Review: Bad acting! Bad script! Bad plot! They got our attention when the movie intimated that Michael's parents had abused and tortured him when he was a child; they had the ball, they should have run with it. And what about Jamie Lloyd and the "curse," and all the events of Halloween 6? Did Jamie Lee Curtis's character FORGET that she once had a daughter? And where's her son? And now Halloween 9 is in pre-production, and I read someplace that the series will finally end with a part 12. I hope the filmakers tie up all these loose ends before then ...

Summary: A comic spoof sequel of a great horror series!
Review: This movie is laughable. If its not taken seriously its OK to watch. Its the kind of movie to see when you're drunk just to laugh at how corny it is. The real Halloween movies are parts 1, 2, 4, possibly 5(although not perfect), and 6. That was Halloween. Halloween should be SCARY not FUNNY!! Halloween H20 could have been great but ended up being a little ridiculous. Michael went on a road trip to California? Ha, ha!! Michael lives in HADDONFIELD!!! He doesn't go on road trips!! I could see him traveling to a different TOWN but C'mon! Also, his method of killing in H20 was more "Scream" than "Myers." Besides that with this film and H20 before it, they completely disregard the previous few films. What an insult to Donald Pleasence's work. I thought "The Curse of Michael Myers," was excellent and perhaps the scariest of the lot. It also had a great character in Tommy Doyle and a good explanation of why Michael killed. Also, in Resurrection they claim the Myers house hadn't been lived in since Michael lived there. I guess that means the last few films never happened. One more thing, thanks to Laurie Strode at the end of Part 2, Michael doesn't really have eyes. Did these producers remember that at the end of Resurrection and even in part 5? Michael is not alive. He's a walking zombie who's possessed with a curse. If theres any hope left in saving the series, the producers need to continue the series right where part 6 left off and pretend that H20 and Resurrection never happened.

Summary: Can this Eighth Installment Live up to Public Expectation?
Review: Halloween Resurrection may have saved the franchise. Another disappointment (after Halloween 6 and H20) could have killed Michael Myers. Thankfully, this film lived up to the expectations of Halloween fans. The plot begins with the explanation of how Michael is alive. This sets the tone for the movie, and instead of viewers waiting for Michael to show up for fourty-five minutes like in H20, he appears within the first twenty minutes. Using Jamie Lee Curtis in the beginning of the movie made me think of Halloween 1 and 2. The plot stays consistent in pleasing the audience with the Webcast, aside from one part when the teens enter the house, finding nothing. The suspense rises in the end when the cat and mouse chase occurs between Michael and Sara. A problem I had with the movie was Myers. I found he didn't stay true to the other Michael Myers' throughout the franchise. In the intiial pursuit of Laurie, Myers walked much too quickly. He rushed himself. The original Michael Myers would take his time, knowing that eventually he would come face to face with his prey. Another other problem that I had woth this Michael was the mask. I realize that the mask has to somewhat conform to the actor's face, but this mask didn't scare me as much as the ones in H1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 did. Finally, this Michael didn't intrigue me. He wasn't eerie. He was a typical murderer. In the past, Myers would walk, stop, and if there was another hallway or corridor beside him, he would slowly turn his head to see what was there. This Michael didn't pull that off as well. Though these three flaws with Myers existed, I wasn't completely dissatisfied woth the acting of this character. The murder scenes, and the stunt scenes managed to captivate me. I felt the best scenes that Myers did in this movie were the ones in the corridor leading to his bedroom underneath the house. The house in this movie was done beautifully, even though the director expects us to forget the Strodes lived there only a few years ago. I can't be certain, but it seemed like the Myers house changed for the fourth and fifth movies. I liked this house the best, assuming it was a different one. The acting by Jamie Lee Curtis in this movie was excellent. As for the others, it was decent. Many stereotypes were evident in the teens, but it didn't affect the overall movie, and it also added to the dynamics of the movie. Busta Rhymes and Tyra Banks did a surprisingly good job in the film. Overall, Halloween Resurrection didn't let us down. It's an excellent movie, and in comparison to the others it ranks better than Halloween 2, 3, 5, 6 and H20. Some may say that the plot is a bad premise for a horror movie, but it delivers everything a good horror movie should, and more. Rick Rosenthal was a blessing for this film. Any other director couldn't have pulled off a Halloween Reality Webcast installment. Though minor character flaws existed, this movie should please all Halloween fans and attract new Halloween fans as well. Let's hope with this film's success, we'll be seeing a Halloween 9 very soon.

Summary: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS
Review: This is a bad film. The acting was terrible, the scares were not scary and Laurie Strode dies. To pay more respect to Jamie Lee they should of let her die in a good film with a good script and that was scary. I was really disappionted with this film but i had a fealling it would be bad before i watched it. The plot is about a money making producer played by Buster Rhymes (big mistake) who puts a bunch of college studients into the Myers house on halloween to investigate on why Michael Myers went insane. The show is being broadcasting live on the internet. But Michael dicides to join them and kills them off one by one. This film was predictable throught that left no impression on me at all. I could have pulled something better out of my nose which says it all. See this film if your a big fan of the series but if your not I wouldn't waste my time.

Summary: The worst Halloween movie of the whole series
Review: The Halloween movies from the first to last just seems to get worse everytime a new one is released. The first two Halloween movies released "Halloween" and "Halloween 2" were the best of the whole series. They may even be my favorite movies of all time. Halloween Resurrection was just much different then the other Halloween movies. The movie was plain dumb. It had a horrible story line. The movie just gets more boring and boring the longer you watch it. I recommend that if you haven't seen any of the other Halloween movies you should watch them and leave this movie for the last to see.
