Summary: Even John Carpenter Passed on This idea! "Let it Die".
Review: Don't be fooled. This movie has little to do with the original. It is simply Friday the 13th - part 14. Characters are unimportant in this film, plot is unimportant too...and without those two elements having some strength, nobody will care about the action...so repetitive that suspense would require a miracle. If you have never seen a "slasher movie" and are about 10 years old, then you may find something new in this one...otherwise, save your money and rent a good copy of Halloween I or Halloween II.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I can't wait!
Review: This movie is gonna be so awesome. I have been a life-long fan of Halloween and all of it's sequels and I have enjoyed each one, so I am sure Halloween 8 won't be an exception. Michael Myers is supposedly still alive, and supposedly he wasn't the man behind the mask in H20. But we'll all have to wait to see. I just hope the release date isn't gonna go through a million push-backs.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Please, make it STOP
Review: Wow, now Myers has survived decapitation. And he "allegedly" kills Jaime Lee at the beginning. Then some REALLY STUPID kids decide on the worst bad idea in the history of bad ideas: "Let's hold an internet chat in the old Myers House on Halloween!" Then of course, Mikey comes back home to kill some more people. Let's see how people escape THIS one!!! If I gave a...how the Hell anyone lives, I'd go see it opening day. But it can wait for the cheap theatre.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: STUPID, Stupid, stupid...(ZERO stars)
Review: One word describes this movie: DUMB. Or STUPID. You could also call it boring and not-scary-at-all. Oh, and It' also cheesy. Halloween 6 is better than this! NOT Reccomended!!! STAY away from it!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: a stupid movie....period
Review: Okay, the biggest problem with this film is that it was actually made. To have any Halloween fan actually believe that the "human" man that Michael swapped his clothes with could survive being rammed by a van, thrown down a hill, and then CRUSHED against a tree by the same van is obviously out to lunch. Why did he NOT remove the mask while he was still inside the van? If it wasn't supposed to be Michael, then why when he (the supposed human ambulance attendant) crashed thru the windshield did he sit up in the road like Michael? That's because in H20 it WAS Michael. Talk about doing anything to make a fast buck. I was absolutely disgusted by the first 15 minutes of this movie and ended up getting a refund. I did not buy this dvd because, in my opinion, it is the biggest waste of money. And then to insult the fans (myself included), they kill off Laurie and make her character so ignorant. As far as I'm concerned, Halloween, Halloween II, and H20 is the complete story. No man in black, thorn cult crap, no babies in jars, etc... H4 was actually good back in 1988, but since then even that movie has been so tarnished by H5 and especially H6 that it's not even worth watching anymore. Michael was beheaded by Laurie. End of story.

Summary: Resurrection
Review: I thought the movie was OK but I diss liked the fact that they killed off Jamie Lee Curtis in like the first 10 min. She has Survived all of the other ones and in this one they killed her right away. They could have waited untill the end but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's not bad. It's not good but it's not bad. It's so so.
Review: What can I say about Halloween Resurrection? It not H20, that's for certain. This film is more of a step back from the step forward the previous film took. After saying in an interview during the filming of H20 that she would not do another Halloween film for any amount of money, here's Jamie Lee Curtis is doing a cameo in the beginning. I guess the money was too good to pass up.

Despite what the previews would lead you to believe, Curtis is not the main character of the film. She's mainly in this one to give the Laurie Strode character a proper send off. Unfortunately, it's not a happy ending. The story for this Halloween movie centers around a group of kids who are doing an internet broadcast show run by Busta Rhymes' character, Freddie. The catch is that this show is being broadcast from Michael Myers' house and, of course of all days of the year, the show is being broadcast on halloween. Once the kids are inside the house, the doors and windows are locked as they are to spend an entire night in the house. What the kids don't know is that Michael is back home and he's not happy with his uninvited guests. You can pretty much figure out the rest of the plot of this film.

For a Halloween film, it's not too bad. I liked the originality of the headsets the kids had to wear that showed their points of view. As the kids get picked off one by one, their deaths are shown from the P.O.V.s so it feels like Michael is looking right into your eyes as he kills everyone. It does feel creepy at times.

As usual the whole cast of characters are mainly unknowns with a few celebrity cameos like Busta Rhymes' character and his girlfriend played by Tyra Banks. You'll also see Sean Patrick Thomas (Save the Last Dance) and Thomas Ian Nicholas (American Pie) playing two potential victims in the house.

Overall, the movie isn't too bad. If your a hardcore Halloween fan, it's right up your ally. But if your just a casual viewer and you saw H20 you might want to skip this one. The one gripe I have with the film is the explanation of Michael's survival from H20. It doesn't make sense and the writers definately could've done better. All I can say is thank God they ditched the whole cult angle from H6. That was just too much. Of course, as usual, the ending leaves room open for another sequel. Halloween 9 is probably being made right now as we speak.

Summary: the boogyman has stopped dancing
Review: I agree that this should not have made it as a picture. It was a good waist of film!!! The way that Lori dies was not what I expected. I thought the way she died was a very laxy way. I am sure that Curtis wanted to be finished with the Halloween movies. I thought that H2O was very well written and glad that Curtis came back for a final "Curtin call" in H2O. I hope that this Halloween is the last one. Granted it was kinda good to learn the history of Michael Myers and how he became to be. Come on Hollywood give it a rest. I am a big huge fan of Halloween, but this story got old and stale. To me the last Halloween was the H2O.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I must agree with M. Nelson.. Not worth Pirating
Review: I just got done watching this monstrosity. Once again, the video store up the street sucks $1.50 out of my wallet. This movie is sooo bad. I cannot fathom how Jaimie Lee Curtis could allow herself to be part of something so damn stoopid. First of all, it would have worked better if they would have shown Michael switching places with the paramedic in H20. Then, I could believe it. But that wouldn't change the fact that this movie still sucks beyond belief. I wanna know why they have to do this... common hollywood! GET YOUR (...)TOGETHER!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Michael Myers' Blair Witch Project
Review: That's what I kept thinbking while watching this. With all the hand-held shots, the kids going through the house reminded me of the Blair Witch project.

Jamie Lee Curtis may be on the cover, but she is killed before the opening credits. I'm sure she's relieved because her character and this whole series should have died years and sequals ago. I'm more of a Jason Vorhees fan and Michael never really got my blood pumping, but I like these sort of movies and have seen them all. The Michael Myers saga is really running on fumes and this movie may be the last.

'Dangertainment' run by Busta Rhymes and the beautiful (I mean really hot) Tyra Banks gets six kids to spend Halloween night in the old Myers place. Everybody wears these annoying webcams on their heads and everything is broadcast over the internet via live feed.

Well Busta wants to give everyone a good show, so he plants stuff everywhere and even dresses up like Michael. I had to admit it was pretty funny when Michael meets Busta dressed up as himself. He just stands there as Busta assaults him with profane gangsta jive.

Well let's see who's in this. You remember the black dude who crashed the party in 'Not another teen movie'? You remember him, he was mixing drinks and was asked to leave by 'the' black guy. Then we got that annoying kid from American Pie, thankfully he was killed first. A really cute red-head who does show her boobs during a botched love scene in the basement. A hot but ditzy blonde who's head takes a tumble down the stairs, a freaky music major dude, and our heroine who is about as rememberable as any female survivor from Friday the 13th.

A couple of decent kills, but nothing that will make you jump. The best thing about Mike Myers was the way he can just slowly appear out of the shadows with his mask showing first. Thankfully they left that in.

The bonus materials are OK. The original ending stunk, and so did the alternate endings. The deleted scenes were nothing special except for the photo album that was found showing baby Michael chained in the high chair.
