Rating: Summary: A good sequel but a little bit in the wrong direction. Review: I'm a big Halloween fan and when I saw H20 I knew that they would somehow bring Michael back from his decapitation. So they used the clear it-wasn't-him storyline which impressed me. I saw the movie on the plane to LA and as soon as Jamie Lee Curtis appeared I knew the movie would be excellent. But what I didn't know is that she was going to get killed in the first ten minutes! I'd heard rumors but none of which I believed. I'm not saying it was a bad decision to kill off her character (after all Jamie Lee Curtis did say she didn't want to film any more Halloween films and she was even reluctant to appear in H20. But can you imagine someone else playing Laurie Strode?) it's just the fact she was killed in the first scene like a unworthy blonde bimbo that frustrated me. Here is the women who was the key to Michael's insanity and she's completely discarded. Now Laurie, Dr Loomis and Danielle Harris have all been killed off where will the storyline go to? You know that there will be a Halloween 9, Halloween 10, Halloween 11 . . . But moving on. The whole killer-in-house-during-live-webcast was a little bit too unoriginal for my liking. The director seems to be taking the film away from it's origin and towards the present slasher/flick genre. The actors however gave great performances especially Busta Rymes who everyone decided couldn't act before the movie even premiered. (I hope he's in the next film) Anyway a good Halloween film but seems too much like Scream/Blair Witch Project to me. The good ones to look out for in this series is H1,H2,H4,H20&RESURRECTION. Rent it before you buy it! Unless you like it! 07734 733549 (my cell phone number)
Rating: Summary: If the series got any shallower... Review: Let me just start off by saying that I've been a fan of the series for years, and that even though I had been sucked into the intrigue of Michael Myers, I absolutely hate what they have done to it. Obviously, everyone would still be sleeping with not one, but both eyes open at night if they left it hanging after part one. I also think that Laurie didn't have the right part in this movie. It would have seemed more fitting for Dr. Loomis to have been in the opening scene instead of Laurie (if, of course, he were still alive.) But anyway, I do believe that the writing was poor. And the characters were introduced for probably this one movie anyway. They needed to bring back Tommy (Paul Rudd) Cause he still has the Michael's...whatever the baby is to him. The best part of this movie is probably Busta Rhyme's comic encounter inside the house. I won't spoil anything cause it really is classic and hilarious. If you aren't familiar with the series, stay away from this one. Most fans are disgusted and the only reason I like the movie, is because that Myers kid still has that thing about him..
Rating: Summary: Critical Review: This is not the best Halloween Sequel and may not deserve a 4 except for fans that love most the movies. Im glad Laurie meets her demise because it would be sad to see an entire film cut so poorly around her. The film makers may not have wanted to prove she is dead in hopes she will return but with more sequels like this dont count on it. There are a few "smart" and good things ... in the beginning Michael cleverly frames someone else for Lauries murder yet he puts someones head in a dryer? The chopping off of heads (2 in this one) is..., and seeing Michael chop off a head - what a poor shot. THen yes in part one it was a great stalker flick but in this one he is "hiding in the shadows" for like 50 minutes and then just kinda pops out in front of everyone which defeats the purpose...(spoiler ahead) The house is tiny yet no one hears Michael come through the mirror? Rick Rosenthal did a poor job. The films are no longer following a family tree so I have no clue on where they are going from here - John Strode wont be back but in a coupl of years he could have a kid or two that come back to visit there never before seen grandpa in Haddonfield? Anyway this movie is interesting if you want some cheap scares with a basic no minded plot or if your a fan of the series its a must. We all know they could have done much worse (like the awful Halloween 5 or Jason X).
Rating: Summary: Michael is back...again Review: This is the eight part of the Halloween series.As we know it's not best than part one, two or even H2O. But it was a fun, enjoyable and sometimes scary horror simple flick. It was known that this movie wasn't going to be a masterpiece, but it is a cool fun movie. Why Jamie Lee? why?, you know what I mean.Why is she dead?.Why did the kill her?, It was the Halloween main charachter. Well, the story is about a group of six teenagers(Sarah, Donna, Jenn, Jim, Rudy and Bill) selected to be part of a new Reality show called DANGERTEINMENT. The six stupid teens will have to be a whole day in Michael Myers's house. But what the don't know is that Michael is back and he's angry. What I liked of this slasher flick was the cast.It was a really cool cast: Jamie Lee(The scream queen), Busta Rhymes(Very funny), Bian Kajlich(The new scream princess), Tyra Banks(VERY GOOD LOOKING, BUT VERY BAD ACTING), Thomas Ian Nicholas(The only normal guy from the American Pie folks), Seann Patrick Thomas(The dancer from Save the last dance) and the beautiful, funny and charmin Jenna(The blonde girl), she was so cute. This is the best done Halloween(But not the best of all), the music is perfect, it's scary and deep. The special effects are really cool.Michael's mask is really scary too.The kills are very well done and some of them were very clever.And the begining of the film was the best of all the Halloween movies. Rick Rosenthall is an excellent director(He also directed Halloween 2, my favourite), he knows his job. Resurrection is a rainy night funny to watch with friends flick.It is a great movie to eat popcorn and fans won't be disapointed. FINAL GRADE: C+
Rating: Summary: I dont know what the hell they are talking about Review: ...i think halloween 8 is very entertaining movie and in some parts kinda scary ...just see the movie for yourself and see what you think because i think the actors in this movie did a pretty good job except some parts we kind of cheesy but they didnt ruin the movie
Rating: Summary: HALLOWEEN RESURRECTION A SMART & WORTHY SEQUAL Review: After the awfull H20 most Halloween fans felt puzzled and dissapointed, I know I was. The people who made Halloween Resurrection knew what they were doing, using reality tv because that what is most popular now a days. As for the characters I am glad Jamie Lee Curtis didn't have a big role in the film because she didn't deserve it after spitting in the face of Donald Pleasence and Danielle Harris by making H20. H20 was the worst sequal of the series and the people ho made it including (CURTIS) just ignored parts 4-6 which were quite good in my opinion. I believe that you could by Resurrection and ignore Halloween H20 and your series would be complete! The only thing this sequal had wrong was no man in black and no thorn plot. Show respect towards this film
Rating: Summary: One of the best halloween yet. Review: I loved this movie i think its one of the best halloween movies to date, and i can't wait to see how they do the the next one. I'm sorry Jamie is dead but as long as michael lives on halloween will never die.So if your a halloween fan you will love this movie from start to finish.
Rating: Summary: STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE - EVEN IF YOU ARE A FAN!!!!! Review: ...or at least turn it off after the first 10 minutes. There is a hint of H20 fun with Jamie Lee Curtis, but it ends quickly (unlike the rest of the movie.) Apparently, the producers felt the need to cast another rap performer (in this instance Busta Rhymes) to give the movie some teen appeal. Well, the box office speaks volumes on that decision. Rhymes is bad as is every minute from the 11th to the end of this film. They wrapped it up nicely with H20, watching this movie will only ruin it for you. Stay away!
Rating: Summary: Disappointing after previous entry in series Review: The premise seems promising at first. A group of college students is selected to act out an internet play at the home of killer Michael Myers...This Michael Myers is the deadly character who haunted previous HALLOWEEN movies and is presumed dead by the beginning of this one. The premise is not bad. And there comes a time in the movie when, hardly surprisingly, the notorius villian turns out to be alive after all. When the students discover that Myers is still alive and not only kicking but still wreaking deadly terror in the house where he grew up, things pick up a little. From there through the decently entertaining climax, the movie has the makings of a not-so-bad thriller. But the problem is in the middle, between the set-up and the climax. There it wallows in typical teen-movie cliches -- virile wisecracking males, and females who resist them in equally cliched wisecracking manner...the only memorable thing about the move is was pretty boring.
Rating: Summary: WHY??! Review: First off, I'll never believe a horror movie that is going to do just one more movie, "the final one"- whatever- because they will always bring it back a few years later and do it all over again. "H20" was a great movie and the perfect end. But no, they had to ruin it to milk more money out of the series. The explanation of how it wasn't really Michael at the end of H20 was VERY unbeleivable and cheap. This movie had SOOO many holes in it. For a horror movie to be scary, it must be realistic also. How convenient Tyra Banks didn't see the crew member get killed when he was setting up the camera equipment. JUST IN TIME!! There were too many fake-outs and "close calls". It got real tiresome. It's also interesting how everyone in this movie looks like a friggin' supermodel! What's up with that? How superficial and sad. They could have at least thrown one fatty in the group to make it more down-to-earth. The filmmakers left this movie open to make "one last one. Then it's done for real. Promise. The ultimate one"- yeah, right. I've heard that before. I won't patronize this franchise anymore. And what they did to the character of Laurie Strode was wrong!
