Summary: Pointless and unredeeming
Review: Dimension films continues to milk a franchise for all its worth with the disappointing "Halloween: Resurrection".While I'm not quite sure what's being "Resurrected" here (the original title was a more appropriate "Halloween: Homecoming"), this story picks up with Michael Myers tracking down Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) to a mental institution where she has spent the years since "Halloween: H2O". After that insulting opening sequence, the movie drops all the threads from any previous "Halloween" entry and shifts the focus to a group of people picked to spend a night in the Myers home, ala Reality TV style. The basis of the "Halloween" series, which is Michael killing off his bloodline, is completely ignored in favor of braindead characters, God-awful acting (Busta Rhymes, his teeth, and Tyra Banks are the main offenders), and predictable chase sequences.Sadly, this DVD also has the most extra features of the "Halloween" series so far. Features include a boring commentary with Director Rick Rosenthal, three short featurettes, rightfully-so deleted scenes, and alternate endings. Oddly, some of the more anticipated deleted scenes (home video footage of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode as children that was to run under the opening credits; alternate opening scene with Curtis; an alternate end to Tyra Banks' character) were all left out.Disappointing extras to go with a disappointing movie. Avoid "Halloween: Resurrection" at all costs.

Summary: Good but off track
Review: It was a good movie. It seemed more funny then scary,and what happend to Micheal going after his family he has 2 living relatives. Does anyone remember Lorie's daughter Jamie? I know see is dead but she had a baby! Then there is Lorie's Son from H20. I think now he is just there before he had a reason.

Summary: A worthy follow-up!!!!
Review: I find it shocking how many sequels have followed the classic 78' thriller "Halloween." The first two films were more than enough to tell the gruesome story of serial killer Michael Myers, who murdered his sister Judith at age 6, and broke out of the asylum years later to continue his deadly spree. While the sequels were fun, they lacked logic. The plot contained more holes than swiss cheese, and the 7th film "Halloween H20" even went so far as to forget all the films that came before it. Such a shame when something so small yet so important ruins the pure enjoyment of a mindless film.That said, the latest entry in the popular slasher series also manages to ignore all but the Jamie Lee Curtis installments of all the films. Who cares that Michael Myers is now so old he will probably need to use a walking cane to make it across the room. His murders are as deadly and gruesome as ever. Add to that a top-notch cast which include Busta Rhymes, Tyra Banks, Ryan Merriman, Sean Patrick Thomas, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Bianca Kajlich, and, of course, the return of Jamie Lee Curtis, a refreshingly different plot from the previous entries, and pure suspense from start to finish, and you have one of the best sequels in the "Halloween" Saga. Suspend reality, grab a bowl of popcorn, turn off all the lights, grab onto the person next to you, and enjoy!!!!

Summary: "Halloween" is Comedy!
Review: Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) finally gets it. When Michael Myers returns home back in Haddonfield, Illinois, after a hard day's work, he finds that his house has been taken over by a group of contestants on a reality t.v. show. It's like "Fear," but in Michael Myers's house. No trespassing! Of course Busta Rhymes is the producer of the show and gets into the action by using his Bruce Lee skills. Instant messaging has never been so useful! "Halloween: Resurrection" is a funny sequel with Rhymes giving an Oscar-worthy peformance and Michael Myers will forever be the Boogeyman. Oh yeah, how did he survive from "Halloween: H20?" You'll have to see it and once you do, you'll think, genius!

Summary: Horrible
Review: I have seen the entire series now. One and two were very good. Enjoyable movies. As it progressed it spiraled downward. H20 was rather good, though the eighth, resurection was absolutely horrible. Stay away.

Summary: A good movie, but true Halloween fans will be cheated.
Review: All in all the movie was good, but true Halloween fans like myself will wonder why? Here is my explanation: First, the beginning was excellent. I thought wow this movie is going to take off where H2O left off, but I was wrong. When Jamie gets killed that's when I first get dissapointed. I think if Jamie escaped from Michael in the beginning and worked around the existing plot The movie would have been well done. It seems as though the writer just gave up after Jamie got killed "Oh well lets make another teen horror flick". Secondly, the dialogue could have been much better and some of the actors were not really good. Thirdly the last chase scene was excellent. Derrick communicating with Sara through a chat line was very fresh and up to date. The last chase scene was also long which the last chase scene should.
Lastly, I took off one star because of a so so script and the other star because of killing off Jamie and for making it into a teen horror flick. Lets hope the next one will be better. Hopefully nurses will find Jamie still alive in the bushes and she will star in the next one with Sara.

Summary: how much more can we milk this!!
Review: this was horrible, it's such a disgrace from carpenter's original. sadly busta rhymes was the best one in this movie, it's ..., but i guess the american way of doing things is make a buck, ... a buck. anyways, the best scene is when busta is dressed like myers trying to scare the teens in the house and sees the real myers. he starts talking jive sort of, saying words like ... and such, that's why i gave it 2 stars. after that scene busta dies, and we continue on with this blair witch ..., blah blah blah, and myers gets burnt only to have some dumb woman open the bodybag and have a closeup of myer's eye open and the woman screaming ooooooo!! the only thing now is for myers to go into outerspace and fight jason, freddy, chucky, and buddy lee. i might have given this 3 stars if the director (who also did part2 which was actually good) shuffled out an extra few mil and hired hulk hogan to do the legdrop to michael myers.

Summary: Absolutle worst of the series.
Review: Don't even bother with Halloween: Resurrection. This is, without a doubt, the absolute worst film of the series. They couldn't have done a worse job following up the fantastic Halloween H20. All that H20 did to revive the series, this latest tore up and threw away. That fantastic conclusion to the fate of Michael Myers? Gone. ... And Curtis's role doesn't amount to anything more then a cameo, putting an end to her character right at the start. In five minutes, they destroy everything great from the last film. They follow it up with a lame story about a reality show getting teenagers to stay a night in the Myer's house and his return home to kill. It'd be like if some "artist" took the Mona Lisa and painted over her a leather dress, nose ring and made the background a night club. Talk about milking a series after its death (no pun intended). Nothing's inspired, nothing's creative. It's just filled with annoying characters acting as though they're on MTV's television show Fear (and somehow it even managed to be less scary then that show). If you loved the first two Halloween films, and loved Halloween H20 as the third "real" film in the series and its satisfying conclusion, skip Resurrection. It just ruins your appreciation for the series. For me, there are only three Halloween films, and this isn't one of them.
