Summary: SOOOO much better than H20!!!!!
Review: i was so mad with the people who made H20, H20 SUCKED!!! Halloween 8 was very well made and with the Director Rick Rosenthal (Director of Halloween II) He brought something to Halloween that H20 couldn't, a good scare!!! Still i was a little mad that they killed off Ms.Strode but at least the Halloween movies r back. i say that cause they said H20 was the last, THANK GOD IT WASN'T, CAUSE IT WAS SOOO BAD. this movie has revived the Halloween franchise!!! funny thing is that they didn't have too much hype for Halloween 8 and all the hype went to Jason X, and Halloween did so much better at the box office than Jason X. (Oh by the way, Jason X sucked) Myers is still the man and this movies still rock. so check this one out IT'S REALLY, REALLY GOOD!!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: *sigh*
Review: Well, it was Halloween so I thought I'd give this flick another chance. I thought another viewing might help me to change my mind about it but alas, sorry no. I give this movie 2 stars, 1 for Jamie and 1 for "The Shape". Everything else is just terrible. Ok, decent but not good, reason for Michael's return. At the end of H20 you can clearly see the hate and desire in Michael's eyes to kill his sister, but come to find out, oops, Laurie killed a policeman that had his throat ripped out by Michael. My bad? Another thing I don't quite get, I know Laurie would, of course, want to be sure that it is Michael, but no way do I believe she'd let herself get that close to him. I can only hope that there's another Halloween with Jamie. And that Laurie proves to be as indestructible as her brother. Terrible waste.

Summary: Save your money
Review: Halloween Resurrection? I think the title should of been Halloween desecration. The movie sinks to new lows as it travels further down the toilet after its predacessor Halloween H2O. The movie seems to be over influenced by todays genre of teen movies as it involves such teen idols as Busta (something). This is one of the movies most fatal mistakes, along with heavy script flaws, since the movie is geared more towards the famous rapper than Micheal Myers. My reccomendation for those who have seem the beginning phases of the series is to avoid this movie at any cost. For those who are new to the series, buy Halloween the first story, or if you want a fast thriller movie for the night buy this movie. Although I highly dislike this movie, newcomers who care for a one nighter will probably get there thrill because the movie would not make too much sense anyhow to those who had not seen the previous movies in the collection.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Hmmmm...Busta Rhymes, eh?
Review: This movie was no worse than any other in the series. my main problem with the movie was that in all the past movies, Michael was an unstoppable killing machine. In this movie, he appears to be the killing machine we've all come to expect, only that it appears as if his "kryptonite" so to speak is Busta Rhymes, who kicks the living $hit out of Myers. Unbelievable.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Welcome back!
Review: Well, I have read some of these reviews and I Love this movie! I thought it was brilliant. I also thought it had the creep factor that the 1st film had. The DVD also has some great extra features which I think everyone of them should have. I love the alternate ending too. I also love the fact that it didnt try to explain anything. Michael, I think was just as brutal in this one as he was in the first. Great movie! All in all I would rate II, H20, and Resurrection as the best sequels. They also dont give much of Michaels past or explaining his reason for killing his sisters. And there shouldnt be. Reason being? Look at this mess we have with I, II, then there is 3, then you go to 4, 5, and, 6 which are different. then H20 and resurrection go back to I and II. its like a bad puzzle. I do like them all, but my favs are I, II and H20 and Resurrection.I hope the next films falls in line with the last 2.

Summary: What were they thinking!!!
Review: Well I am sorry to say that they kill off Jamie Lee Curtis! The cast's acting is so bad I could barely finish watching it! Of course they try to cover it up by giving us loads of extras and good gore! But I must say that this is by far the worst in the series!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Why Why Why !!
Review: Why did they have to make this movie? Halloween 7 (H20) made a perfect ending to this series.

This movie gets 2 stars - 1. The first 10 minutes is kinda cool and 2. Laurie Strode and Michael Myers (It is a Halloween movie after all).

The plot didn't even make sense, Michael Myers whole deal was he wanted to kill off every person in his bloodline. Halloween:Resurrection (which isn't even accurate, who's being resurrected??!!) wasn't even about killing off his extended family. Instead he's hiding in a house and picking off college students (whose screams aren't even worthy of horror movie status).

Bottom Line - Watch Halloween 1,2,4,5,6 and 7, but stay away from this one ! It'll almost make you lose respect for the whole series.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Halloween - Resurrection
Review: This movie was good and bad it still had the darkness that the halloween movies have and the score was the best score I've ever herd in the halloween movies but a lot of stuff in this had to do with reality telivison and that has NOTHING to with michael myers.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Use as a frisbee, a drink coaster---just don't watch it!
Review: Why won't Halloween executive producer Moustapha Akkad let Michael Myers rest in peace?

There is a moment, a brief, fleeting instant, in this unbelievably unenjoyable train-wreck of a movie, where Halloween:Resurrection actually creeps and crawls. It lasts about 30 seconds, so if you're fast forwarding through this unending yawnfest (and I used the fast-forward button early and often throughout Halloween:Resurrection) you might miss it.

A door opens, and the series's Shatner-mask wearing slasher glides through and into a shadowy room, butcher knife held aloft. Seconds later, the same door clicks open, and yet *another* Myers glides through, following the first; through the darkened, poorly lit rooms of the old Myers house they go, one following his twin like a shark. Creepy.

And really, with the exception of the opening sequence in an insane asylum (which dispatches poor heroine Jamie Lee Curtis with all the aplomb of a tailgate drunk squashing an ant), this scene, about 30 seconds long, is all the fun you're going to get out of this movie. And that's somewhat surprising, particularly given the success of its clever and refreshing little exercise in bloodlust "H20", to say nothing of the fact that "Resurrection" is helmed by director Rick Rosenthal, who was at the reins of the second Halloween installment.

Is it really that difficult to make an entertaining slasher flick, particularly if you've got a passle of libidinous teen-agers who are going to be spending the night in the old Myers house, now a rotten, crumbling derelict? Is it really that difficult, considering that the infamous serial killer, thought to have been beheaded by his sister in the previous film, has in fact fooled everybody, murdered his sister, and is now heading home for the holidays?

If the film in question is "Halloween:Resurrection", the answer is: it's pretty well nigh impossible. I went in with low expectations and a case of India Pale Ale, and all I wanted was a little spooky hack-n-slash, and perhaps a game of cat-in-mouse in the shadows.

I didn't even get one halfway decent kill. The movie's premise is as thin as this month's supermodel: a group of teens wins a contest to appear on an Internet reality show (original, huh?), which offers them the chance to spend the night in Michael Myers ruined house. Live through the night, get great door prizes!

Cameras are affixed throughout the house, and emcee/producer Busta Rhymes and his lovely assistant (played by supermodel Tyra Banks) load the house up with spooky goodies to scare the kids for the viewing pleasure of the home audience.

Busta Rhymes? Tyra Banks?

Never mind that, it's going to be the least of your worries. Michael Myers, of course, is loose in the house, and for about 30 minutes one entertains the hope that all sorts of wicked mayhem will ensue. For the love of Jason, you've got Busta Rhymes dressing up like Myers to scare the kiddies---surely they'll wise up to the ruse, and later confront the *real* Myers, only to get slaughtered, right?

Wrong. The most obvious set-up in the whole film doesn't happen. And worse still, despite the fact that a house-party-full of annoying teenagers has occupied his old home and hearth, Myers spends the first half of the movie just wandering around from room to room, killing---absolutely no one.

To recap: we have a listless & bored Michael Myers, we have a mask with big bushy eyebrows, we have Busta Rhymes and Tyra Banks, we have boring kills, we have lots of grainy Internet-cams that look worse than your home PC's camera unit, and---oh yes, don't let me forget---we have one of the house guest's friends, in attendance at another party, watching the festivities on *his* computer and making helpful I-pad suggestions, like: "HE'S IN THE HOUSE!", or better yet "HE'S STILL ALIVE!".

If your idea of horror movie fun is watching a screenful of teen-age yay-hoos staring at a grainy computer screen and yelling "don't go in there" to the heroine, then you'll love "Halloween:Resurrection." Otherwise, the DVD makes a nice coaster for your drink while you're watching a real horror movie.
