Rating: Summary: It's actually pretty good...but enough is enough Review: I remeber seeing the original Halloween last year at a halloween party...and boy did it scare me! Then I rented Halloween II, and was wondering why it wasn't in the comedy section of the video store. I then vowed never to watch any other Halloween movie, except the first one, ever again. Until now.I was literally dragged to this movie by my friend, who wanted to see it. I said what the heck, because it opened on his birthday and so we went to see it. BOY WAS I SHOCKED!! I found myself coming out of the theater with my nails almost bitten down to the core! This honestly was a stupid movie, but it was good for a few scares, and it was actually entertaining. ...But enough all ready. End the series right here, with a good story and decent scares, before some writer brews up a Michael X.
Rating: Summary: Please READ! Review: I dont know why every one doesnt give any Halloween movie a chance! I am a film director and the hardest thing to shoot is a sequel! First of all, no it is probably not going to be better than the original because it is not. But that doesnt mean it cant be good. Halloween is a movie to go and enjoy yourself at and get a good scare. The Halloween movies are not made to win Acadamy Awards or they would put more time into them. Give this movie a chance because it is good. Dont look at all the bad reviews because alot of those people dont give the movie a real chance!
Rating: Summary: Better go see it in the theatres if you want it to scare you Review: The only thing that made this film scary was the loud surrond sound in the theatre. Without telling the whole storyline, I will just say yes, there will be another sequal because he does not get killed. None of the original soundtrack is used in this sequal except for the main theme of course. I was not at all afraid of the shape in this one. I did like how they connected the storyline from H2O to the film, and how they used all the modern technology throught the film like the internet, those little cameras, and a pocket pilot.
Rating: Summary: Awesome Movie Review: I loved the mask and actually thought it was the best one, there were a lot of things done like the original Halloween, the plot was interesting and the music was very good. I thought the movie was great. I consider it one of the bests. Whoever thought it was awful is obviously not a Michael Myers fan.
Rating: Summary: Halloween Desecration Review: Have I been watching the wrong series for the past 7 movies? Wasn't Michael only after his sister, or immediate family members? What is the premise, purpose, behind this movie? The true horror is that they have lost the reason behind Michael Myers' killing. He only killed people who got in the way of his trying to kill his sister. He only killed people who were involved with his biological family members. His lifelong task is accomplished within the first 5 minutes of the film. He kills his sister, the only good character of the series. It seemed out of character for Laurie Strode to be so stupid! She has always been a strong character & very wise. How did she make such a stupid mistake? Why did Michael continue to kill people after killing Laurie? He had no reason to. Anyone who knows anything about serial killers knows that they always have a continual motive behind their actions. There was no motive behind this movie at all. It made no sense, and failed to follow the complete storyline consistently. Laurie should have been the one to vanquish Michael. She was the heroine! H20 was such a good movie & followed the plot line closely. H20 was filmed well, scary, had a good soundtrack, and had good actors. Halloween Resurrection had the worst actors, bad soundtrack, and was filmed mostly with cheap cameras seemingly to lower the budget costs. It was the most horrible of the series. If Michael switched bodies at the end of H20, how could the security guard try to kill Laurie in the getaway van? Also, how could the security guard live through bursting through a windshield, being hit at full speed, rolling down a hill & being pinned between a tree and the van, and respond to Laurie when she called him Michael? "Halloween Desecration" should be buried along with Michael.
Rating: Summary: Great Flick Review: A great popcorn movie. The first half an hour is great and the film holds up pretty well throughout. By no means a good film, but if you were looking for a good film you shouldn't have went to a halloween sequal in the first place. Good fun. Don't go in with high expectations, just go in looking for a good time.
Rating: Summary: Thank You Rick Rosenthal Review: HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTED IS A SPLENDID CONTINUATION! IT IS MUCH BETTER THAN H20 AND GIVES THE HALLOWEEN SERIES A BOOST UP INSTEAD OF DOWN! DEFINITELY GO SEE THIS SEQUEL AND YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!
Rating: Summary: NEW HALLOWEEN ERA!! Review: I saw Halloween: Resurrection today and I must say I am impressed! The Halloween saga takes on a new direction after Michael confronts his sister Laurie Strodes played by the talented Jamie Lee Curtis. Jamie has a camero appearreance for the first 10 minutes confronting her manical brother in a medical institute. Dispite some spoilers expressed with other reviews, I won't say a word here. Jamie Lee Curtis gives a fine performance and closes the final chapter for the character she created, Laurie Strode. At this point, Laurie is a broken down woman who has enough. Josh, her son is not mentioned in the movie since but his picture is displayed on the wall in Laurie's room. Since the whole Halloween theme is for Michael to kill off his bloodline, the franchise does fail to mention what happened to Josh or Steven (the baby of Jamie Lloyd, Laurie's daughter in past films). Laurie also never mentions Jamie, the daughter she gave up. As a true fan of the Halloween films, I can simply dismiss this oversight. Perhaps, Laurie did not want anyone to know she was alive in Haddonfield when she fled to California as described in the previous installment, H20? Most likely, the actor that played Josh will might return or his death will be mentioned in future sequels. In Resuurection, we find Michael returning to his stomping grounds of Haddonfield, IL on Halloween. At this point in the francise, Michael is known as a "legend", one of the nation's worst serial killers in history. The Myers place is the town's haunted house abandonned what we are to assume from the last family that lived there (halloween 6 ). The Myers house is equipped with internet cameras and wires for a live broadcast on Halloween night. 6 students are to explore the house with head gear equipped with cameras and lights to broadcast on the internet. This quick money scheme as Michael goes trick or treating in the house knocking off each person in the house in the most creative and gory ways. The plot is simple and storyline is simple. The movie gives you a feeling of clausphobia and dread. The camera angles with Michael fading in and out of the darkness is great. The famous Halloween theme is back with a slight modification. After all what Halloween movie would there be without that creepy music. I personally think H20 would have been more effective if the theme was used more. Overall, I think Halloween Ressurection is a great movie. The acting is okay, some corny lines but otherwise easily overlooked as you get yourself immerge into the movie. Some camera shots show you the characters through the eyes of the camera lense and this gives you the creepy feeling like the Blair Witch Project did for its viewers. Some die hard fans will be upset because Michael is not going after Josh or Steven to be consisist with the whole concept of the franchise. I can see Hollywood is trying to bring Michael to a new generation of kids with a more modern version of kids. Will the franchise get back on track with the concept of elimating his bloodline or go with the new direction like so many other sequels have done as they hit #6 or 7? It doesnt matter, right now the series is open for it to go to any direction or combine both story lines. Go see the movie, grab some popcorn and treat the movie for what it is, a horror film and enjoy! Trick or Treat!
Rating: Summary: The Halloween series has resurrected! Review: I watched the movie yesterday and I loved it.It has to be at least the third best in the series.I was surprised from the beginning to the end.I will buy this movie the first day it comes to video and dvd.The trailer was the best part of Jason X.This is a must-see for Haloween or horror fans.
Rating: Summary: THIS WAS THE BEST SEQUAL!! Review: I don't care what anybody says, but this movie was seriously the BEST of all the sequals. This movie wasn't made to be an academy award winner, so don't look at it like that. Look at it as what it's meant to be: a scary, entertaining movie. And for all of you who complain about there being another Halloween movie, shut ... up!! For all of you ... out there, there are just as many, if not more, people excited about a movie like this. This movie was great, and if you enjoy horror movies, you will seriously LOVE this movie!!!!!
