Rating: Summary: Not what you would expect Review: It is good that they ended the Laurie Strode chapter because otherwise this movie would not be worth checking into. Halloween at this point has become a dull slasher series. Teh last good halloween in fact was Curse of Michael Myers (#6). H20 was complete garbage and for all intensive purposes almost kills the series. This rejuvinates some energy but throws that away with cheap effects, bad acting, and poor characters. There was no care at all for the moronic teens that got involved in "Dangertainment" and to be quite frankly they could of easily have replaced Michael Myers with some one else, throw out the first 10 minutes, and you would still have the same idea. Now the first ten minutes that is a completely different manner. It is these 10 minutes that makes the movie well worth watching (or watching that and then stop). The first 10 minutes is full of true suspense and even a little drama as Laurie Strode bites the big one. Overall the only reason this gets 3 stars is because of the first 10 minutes, other than that you have a typial slasher flick that tries to be scary but can't. My advise is to end the series, or continue the story from 4-6, now that Laurie is dead there should be some closer there and then the series ends. Otherwise it is MIchael slicing and dicing teens so he can hang with the likes of Jason, the Scream guy, and every other cheap horror icon out there. Halloween is no longer scary adn needs to end (I would recomend going hokey but that would make this particular series worse, Jason can get away with that, Michael can't).
Rating: Summary: killing jamie lee just wrong!... Review: I feel the overall movie was outstanding,but tell me how or why you would kill off the most valubale character of the series. I felt like his whole mission in life was done after the first ten minutes, and the way they did it was just depressing. But i feel this was the meanest we have ever seen michael myers, just ruthless and scary in this film.Also if they do continue with the series i hope they quite with the rappers that aspect is getting a bit tired first with ll cool j then busta neither of witch die, but buy it its pretty scary and fun
Rating: Summary: halloween resurrection Review: HALLOWEEN RESURRECTION IN MY OPINION IS A GREAT MOVIE . I THINK IT'S THE BEST HALLOWEEN SINCE 1,2 .THE SCARES KEEP COMING. ITS GOT A GOOD PLOT. HALLOWEEN H20 AND RESURRECTION HAS A BETTER STORYLINE THAN HALLOWEEN4-6 I WAS SICK OF THAT THORN STUFF . HALLOWEEN RESURRECTION IS THE ONLY HALLOWEEN FILM THAT SCARED ME SINCE 1 AND 2 I HOPE THEY HAVE ANOTHER HALLOWEEN MOVIE IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND I HOPE THEY GO BACK TO JOHN STRODE . AND IF THEY DO HAVE ANOTHER MOVIE IT SHOULD BE IN HADDONFIELD WITH MICHAEL MYERS. IF YOU DIDNT SEE THIS MOVIE GO OUT AND RENT OR BUY IT
Rating: Summary: Michael Myers goes Blair Witch style... Review: - I was extremly exsisted when i heard of this film, i followed the Halloween website day in and day out so i could get the latest info on the film. And finally, the time came. I could see it in the teathers... What did i get? A good cure for insomnia! This is the weakest Halloween movie of all times! The "actor-cameras" gives you a headache...the plot [is weak]... At least the beginning of the movie was good. If it wasent for that, the movie would recive an 1 star. The acting, music and Mikey's mask was good tough. But, the entire plot failed.... BR>Donald Pleasence rotates in the grave...
Rating: Summary: Halloween at its best Review: Well this would have to be one of the best sequels in the series. The story line is pretty basic but still can give you a good scare or two. Contains more blood and more kills than Halloween H20 ( which was a great sequel ). We all know the storyline so no need fo me to tell you. Get this DVD cause it contains heaps of extras with deleted scenes and all.
Rating: Summary: The worst of the worst Review: I had thought that after Halloween H2O things couldn't get much worse for the aging franchise. Well, I was wrong, and look at this debacle of a film. In the beginning of this eighth installment of the series, we are graced by the return of Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) but that all goes downhill when she is seemingly dispatched. Next we move onto the Myers house where a webcast is being held by Busta Rhymes. Now I told you this was going downhill didn't I? The paper thin plot involves what was trendy in America at the time (reality shows), throws in a marketable rapper (Busta), some eye candy (Tyra Banks who can't act to save her life), predictability, and a few (real few) chills and some suspense, but that's it. Director Rick Rosenthal, who is a veteran director of Halloween films, seems to have lost any flair or passion in his direction, and in the end Halloween: Resurrection is just tiring and an exercise in futility. The original Halloween was original, fresh, scary, and fantastic, while some of the sequels were good in they're own right (then again...), but this is just a waste of film. All in all, if you want to see a good horror movie, skip this and stick with the original.
Rating: Summary: Myers is back! Review: Halloween Resurrection was very good.I was waiting the whole summer for it to come out, and I wasn't dissapointing. Michael's mask was very awesome. I can't wait till I get it. I knew the outcome of Jamie Lee Curtis she was in basically all of them she had to go sometime. Busta did a really nice job. People say him and Tyra [are bad] at acting I don't believe that is true. They are still young actors. It was very clever how the director brought Myers back. Other than Resurrection, H20, and the original I thought the 6(Curse) was very good. I hope Brad comes back for another one. To everbody in the Halloween franchise including Akkad keep the movies coming in. I would love when I get older to make a Halloween. Other then being a movie director making a "Halloween" would be a dream come true. So please keep the movies coming in.
Rating: Summary: was this acutally supposed to be good? Review: umm? This movie [was rather lame]! This is by far the worst move I have ever seen, it even outdoes Halloween 3 and that is pretty bad... Busta Rhymes is a HORRIBLE actor in this movie.. go back to rapping Busta, you were much harder there.. You are extremely laughable in this movie.. if you feel like watching a movie reminiscent of 80's B-Movies, buy this.. if not, then good-- IM glad somebodys smart
Rating: Summary: Out of all 8 Halloween movies, i've never been so impressed Review: I saw this one in the theatre, and it is definately the best Halloween yet. Michael Myers is alive and back for Laurie, but she has a plan to kill him for good. It is a brilliant plan, and while Michael is killing off the security guards, Laurie sets up the plan. I can't tell you what happens, but it is definately the best Halloween yet. I thought 6 and 7 were good. Look at this one. Anyway, after Laurie's plan is set and whatever happens will happen, 6 teens are broadcasted live to stay in the Myers House for a whole night. Busta Rhymes character decides to "spice it up" and dresses just like Michael and scares the teens around the house. But the real guy is right behind, watching in the shadows. This one has great suspense, I love how he comes from the dark and all the sudden you see the white mask through the dark, getting close to his helpless target. This installment's heroine is great. She tries to escape from the roof, even runs right past him. She has a cell phone where her friends watching the broadcast type on her phone where he is and tell her "He's coming upstairs" and "Get out of that room, he's in there!" It is definately better then H2O and is the best installment yet. Jason X, watch your back! 90 min. Rated R. Can't wait to get the DVD Dec. 10!
Rating: Summary: I rather eat locusts Review: Unfortunately I did NOT walk out of Halloween, but I should have. Now with it's umpteenth sequel, you would hope that they would make it either campy and funny (like Jason X) or make it actually scary. The film makers gave us NOTHING. We now have Jamie Lee in a nut house that is so dreary that you just immediately think, Oh brother, I've seen this a thousand times before. Her Brother Mike Meyers shows up and of course, Jamie Lee has to die, kind of like Sigourney Weaver in Alien 3. Now if these people were SMART..., you could have made a SEVEN (Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt) type of a movie, where Jamie Lee gets chase throughout the films and, at the very last moment right before she escapes, Mike Myers kills her and then roll credits. Does anyone remember the first 2 Halloweens pictures, Mike Meyers and Laurie Strode were of NO relations, so these new story lines simply DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE. Back to this movie. Busta Rhyme along with his partner Tyra Banks runs this reality like show called Dangertainment on the web. They get a bunch of college kids to spend Halloween night in the house of Michael Meyers but we all know how just a bad idea this is. So chop chop, stare, chop chop, stare and we are down to our sexless last survivor, blah, blah, blah... movie ends....
