Summary: BOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!
Review: One of the less scary horror movies of all time, as well as one of the worst movies in history. After we see it we understand why Jamie Lee Curtis asked to be quickly killed. She must have had it, must have been disgusted after she read the script... Now the Myers house, supposed to be haunted, or at least with a bad, deadly reputation, is used for a TV reality show - what an imagination! Stupid, in fact. Of course the (young, of course, and as unconscious as possible) participants get killed one after another, as we expected and as they had no intelligence to expect (how do they do that?). No surprise at all. So surpriseless that when it happens, we can't do nothing but say to ourselves "Well done, Mike, go on!" and ask for more.Too bad there's no zero rate on the scale, because some movies deserve such a rate, and "Halloween: Resurrection" is among them. Let's hope there won't be no "Resurrection 2"... Of course Carpenter, who didn't direct any sequel of his cult film, didn't get involved in this, we can understand him. Just let them bury themselves!

Summary: Halloween: Ressurection
Review: The beginning of the film leads you do believe it is going to be a good orginal thought out film. Well... it is 100% classic but the fact that it had absolutely nothing to do with the other Halloween's [stunk]! The ending of this film is much better than the middle... H2O was good and the beginning of this film carried that on but... after the beginning all pretty much was people getting hacked to pieces...

Summary: What a Disaster!!!!
Review: I have been a total fan of all of the Halloween series for many years now, collecting the set on VHS, before the advent of DVD and now have the set also on DVD. Because of this, I'm very familiar with the plot lines and although I have my favourites (I won't mention them here, after all, we all have different tastes right?) I would have to say that all movies in the series have their own particular merits. I and II in the series are special (in particular I) and I quite like the III episode in many ways. In addition, the following IV, V and VI episodes are interesting, along with the latest H2O feature. All are good and (sometimes) bad in various places, but we love them just the same. However, I have to say that I cannot find ANYTHING good to say about Halloween Resurrection. It is so bad that it is embarassing! I am in the UK where it had only a nominal cinema release (which I didn't get to see) and also no formal DVD release. Upon getting hold of a region 1 copy I was all ready and excited to live the next chapter in the Halloween series. All the thoughts were going through my head....how can they continue when Michael was killed in H2O...is Laurie Strodes life back on track again now.....etc. What did I get? I pressed play and waited..... What occurred over the next 90 or so minutes was probably one of the worst and least frightening horror movies I have ever seen in my life. It is so poor that it made me cringe at various points in the film. I understand that the people behind the scenes wanted to bring Michael Myers into the 21st century, but this made the movie lose all of the charm and atmosphere that made the original so creepy and spooky. People are saying that you have to be a REAL fan of the Halloween series to enjoy this one...I would say that it is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE! Real fans of the series would realise immediately that this is a poorly scripted, storyless, badly acted piece. I think that to enjoy the movie in any way you would need to have no particular fondness of the original series whatsoever.

Summary: Are you dumb enough to spend the night in the Myers house?
Review: The title "Halloween - Resurrection" has an ironic dimension because at face value you would think it has to do with bringing back the character of Michael Myers from the dead, since he was killed by his sister, Laurie (Jamie Leigh Curtis) at the end of "Halloween H20: 20 Years Later." But actually what they are trying to revive here is the "Halloween" franchise. This 2002 film is a sequel to 1998 film, which makes it the eighth film in the series, which is a bit misleading because "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" had nothing to do with the rest of the series and movies four through six were completely ignored in the last two films (at least I think that they were) to explain the return of Laurie Strode. This also helps to explain the return of Rick Rosenthal as director, who directed "Halloween II," the original sequel in all this fun. "Halloween - Resurrection" offers a rather lengthy prologue, the purpose of which is to effectively reset the Michael Myers story. The result is that I have not been so ticked off at the opening of a movie since "Alien 3" undid one of my all time favorite movies ("Aliens") by the end of the title credits. A similar affrontery is provided in this film, and, no, I do not buy the idea this is simply an homage to the beginning of "Friday the 13th Part 2." Anyhow, this film ends up starting off with one foot in the grave by opening with such a complete downer. What is prologue is past when we get to the actual story of the film. At this point as an audience you simply need to have the same level of knowledge as the characters: what Michael Myers did in the first two "Halloween" films. The initial premise of the story is the old chesnut about a group of people who agree to spend the night in a haunted house, the brainchild of Freddie Harris (Busta Rhymes). In this case we are talking about six college students and the house in question is the Myers house in Haddonfield, Illinois, where Michael killed his sister Judith on Halloween night in 1963. But this particular old chesnut is provided with a 21st century twist: all of those young kids on the dinner menu are going to be wired with web-cams. There are additional cameras all over the Myers house. This is because this entire experience is going to be shown on the Internet. This makes "Halloween - Resurrection" something of a meta-film experience, because eventually we are watching the kids at the party who are watching the kids at the Myers house being sliced and diced by Michael. Of course despite all the cameras and monitors nobody notices that anybody is being killed (those watching on the Internet just assume it is part of the show--at least at first). But in the end, all that technology might just make it possible for one of these kids to make it out alive. You would have thought that all this technology would make for a badly needed infusion of creativity into a slasher flick like this, but you would be mistaken. The point here is simply to add another level of voyeurism to the experience. The assumption is the audience can relate to this, which would explain why there are characters in this film who think having sex in this house while being watched on the Internet is a good thing. The fact this is an above average entry in the series speaks to the general shlock of the genre more than the relative quality of this film. Final Comment: We understand now that Michael Meyer's driving goal from the very beginning is to kill his sisters. He gets Judith in the beginning of "Halloween" and spends most of the rest of the films in the "official" quartet trying to get Laurie. My assumption has always been that if he were to get to that point something significant would happen. Apparently not...

Summary: Halloween = OK
Review: This Halloween is preety impresive. It deals with reality and what's mostly on tv today. Like on ABC Family where a family spends a night in a so called haunted house or castle.And they may not leave until the show is over. But through out the whole movie I was wondering whatever happened to Lauries son. Is he dead or is he going to be in one of the up coming Halloween movies. I hope they put him in the next so we can find out what in the world happened to him. And it better be good! I also hope they donot countinue the story with Sarah and her new friend Frediee. Or else the whole Halloween series would end with stupid characters like what happened in Halloween 3,4,5, and 6. Please donot let it end from here.

Summary: HALLOWEEN:RESURRECTION
Review: THIS FILM IS COOLER THAN 'HALLOWEEN' PARTS 2,4,5,AND H2O PLUS THE OTHER HALLOWEEN FILMS I LIKE TO WATCH ARE PART 1,3[THOUGH IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 1 AND 2],AND 6[THE BEST ONE TO WATCH OR OWN ON VHS OR DVD]. THIS HALLOWEEN HAD SOME COOL KILLS,BETTER CAST[THOUGH JAMIE LEE CURTIS DIED SO SHE WASN'T IN THE FILM TO LONG],AND MICHAEL MYERS HAD MORE POWER TO KILL THOSE IN HIS HOUSE.THE PLOT WAS NOT BAD AND WAS NOT AS BLOODY AS THOSE OTHER SLASHER FILMS BUT STILL WATCHABLE.THE PART I LIKED WAS THE END WHEN THE TWO SURVIVORS BURNED MICHAEL MYERS.A DECENT IMPROVEMENT OVER THOSE HALLOWEEN FLICKS.THIS ONE IS THE SECOND BEST.

Summary: If you liked the first, Youll love this one!!
Review: Michael's back for more, and now since hes finished business with Jamie Lee Curtis, he goes home, only to come across six teens doing a live internet broadcast inside his house! Busta Rhymes is a producer to the broadcast, and feels that tampering with the house by adding stuff, and dressing as Michael Myers he could make the show more interesting. Well, it works for awhile, until Michael comes into the fun! All hell breaks loose then as the teens find themselves trying to get out of the house, with Michael after them! Very good! A pure horror flick! After you see it youll want to buy it!

Summary: Enough already!
Review: I cant take it anymore! Every single new Halloween movie just gets worse and worse! Instead of the original classic Halloween its now some "find the hottest guy and girl and find the coolest rap star" movie! Well enough already! If the Halloween franchise wants to get better again then they have to make a movie where people are screaming from terror in the thatres, not because of josh hartnett or Busta Rymthes! John Carpeneter(genius) had a vision for a really great movie and after Halloween 3(which I thought was very good even without Michael)it all fell apart! My personal opinion is that once Donald Pleasence passed on they should of just stopped and should of left the Halloween legacy where it is, but as you can see they continued. Although this movie did have some perks, like Jamie Lee Curtiss, they all died quickly, just like what the Halloween series will do soon if they keep on going like this. So plain and simple; if you want a good scary Halloween movie then rent Halloween 1 but if you want some "J-14 hottest guys in movie" Halloween then rent Halloween Resurrection!
