Review: Do not, I repeat do not buy this movie. Don't even rent this movie. This movie is the worst movie I have ever seen. I'm sure that there are movies that are worse than this, but I haven't seen it. This movie is so bad that it doesn't even deserve to be made fun of on Mystery Science Theater 3000. If you insist on watching this movie, please, please, do not buy this. Just go to your local rental store and waste only a few dollars, instead of throwing 20 bucks away. Please, I can not stress this enough, do not buy this movie no matter what.

Summary: Halloween Is Finally Resurrected
Review: This film is amazing! I read things in a magazine about Halloween Resurrection. It sounded like fun! I decided to try it out!

On Friday, July 12th, I walked into the movie theater with my Dad and my friend at 7:30 P.M. I couldn't wait! Michael was finally back! It seems like years since we have seen a good Michael! I sat down and I asked the man next to me, "Do you think it will be good?" He smiled and said, "Hell ya! If Michael kills somebody, I'm happy!" Alrighty, on to the movie! The music began to play. THE HALLOWEEN MUSIC! Everyone was whooping up, down and jumping around! The music kept playing with the beginning credits rolling. Then I had a few qualms about this movie. HOW IS MICHAEL STILL ALIVE???????? He had his HEAD SlICED OFF! He can't be alive... I began to watch the movie and then all the pieces came together! I was so happy! Anway this is the story. Michael never was decapitated. It was another man! He returns to get his sister, Laurie, at the mental hospital. He kills the guards and moves on to kill his sister. Laurie meets her fate or does she? Flash over into Haddonfield, where 6 people are taking place on a live internet broadcast. Sara (main character out of the 6 others), Bill (obsessed with sex), Rudy (a chef), Jen (main star's best friend), Donna (a girl), and Jim (guess what! Also obsessed with sex)! Freddie (Busta Rhymes) and Nora (Tyra Banks) are the producers and directors of the show, "Dangertainment". The six people are going to into serial killer, Michael Myers's, house. They have to find clues about why Michael became a psycho. Michael, of course, comes home and begins to off the teens. This is the main idea of the movie. It's a great idea. The whole movie takes place inside a house. The original did just the same! I love this movie! If you like Halloween, the original, you'll love this one! Trust me it's one to buy. The only reason I did not give this film 5 stars was that it was a sequel. The original is the only film that deserves 5. I have enough time on my hands to give grades to all the HALLOWEEN flicks.

Halloween - A ( a great scary film with out a lot of blood ) buy

Halloween 2 - C ( not a great sequel, too much gore ) rent

Halloween 3 there was no Michael

Halloween 4 - B- ( a good sequel ) buy

Halloween 5 - B ( a good atmosphere and good acting ) buy

Halloween 6 - B ( the bloodiest Halloween yet ) buy

Halloween H20 - D* ( a bad movie with bad acting ) rent

Halloween Resurrection - B* ( a great horror film that lives up to the original )

I hope this review helped!

Summary: Halloween Resurrection
Review: A great follow-up to H20, Ressurection had a great setting and good actors/singers(Busta Rymes) to star in the movie. Though Jamie Lee's role is somewhat short, you wont be dissapointed. I dont know how I would rate it as far as a top three, but when your a fan off the Michael Myers movies like myself, you like all of them. If your buying, youve made a great purchase.

Summary: IRONCLAD- Reviewing Halloween Resurrection
Review: This movie is without a doubt the biggest piece of [junk] I've ever seen. This series should have ended when the great Donald Pleasance passed away. After all he was the guy who made the whole series good. Halloween H2o was horrible, but this one wins the award for pathetic. The biggest problem with this sorry excuse for a horror film is the cast...This guy single handedly ruined the whole movie. The rest of the cast were bad too. Who the hell wants to see a bunch of annoying teenagers who can't act partying for an hour and a half. I didn't even like the guy who played Michael Myers. He looked to small. I also didn't like the way the mask looked. Since when have we seen Michael Myers eyes. The mask looked the best in part 5... In the previous episode H2o, we see the film ending with Jamie Lee Curtis Beheading Michael Myers. But in this one, the person who wrote the story needed a way to bring Michael Myers back to life. So we are led to believe that there was someone else dressed up as Michael Myers, and it was the wrong guy. The real Michael Myers is dressed in a paramedic uniform. All of a sudden Michael Myers is a genius not a mental case. When did he have the time to change his clothes. So we are lead to believe that during the 10 minute [fight] Jamie Lee Curtis Was initiating On Michael Myers, it was on someone else. Meanwhile, were was the real Michael Myers, taking a Break...BR>Next problem with this movie is the constant camera work depicting the actual filming of a movie within a movie. That was very annoying. If Donald Pleasance were still alive, he would have laughed...

Summary: "You can't kill the boogeyman" -- Or this series...
Review: I have been an enormous fan of all the Halloween movies for a long time now. I first saw the original Halloween at a relatively young age, and it not only impacted me profoundly, but also scared the heck out of me. Following all the sequels, I went to see Halloween H20 in theaters on opening weekend, and although it wasn't what I wanted it to be (betraying the storyline really fried me) it gave closure and ended the series on a high-note. Needless to say, the moment I found out Halloween 8 was on the way, I was more than skeptical. My suspicions were even more aroused when the movie was not playing in any local theaters, which made me worry that this film was really going to be a stinker, but, I digress. Being the Myers' enthusiast I am and having not seen this movie, I grabbed this DVD the day it came out. It was a bittersweet moment sitting down and popping this in. On one hand, Mikey is back in action and has been sorely missed by yours truly, but on the other hand, this is a series that was supposed to end four years ago, and is now being dragged back into the never-ending sequel land. From the blatantly underwhelming opening credits, I could tell that this wasn't going to be a film of high standards, so I lowered my bar, turned my mind to Friday the 13th mode, and just swallowed it. Now, the movie gets off on the right foot. Laurie Strode is re-introduced and just as quickly dispatched ever so gracefully and dramatically. But wait, Michael Myers? Didn't he get his head lopped off in the last movie? Why yes he did, but this is a movie, and any script doctor could have filled this gap. I won't bother explaining how it happened, because if you haven't seen it yet, you probably already know what happens. Logic defies this explanation (paramedics never go onto a scene alone; why would 'the paramedic' attack Laurie in the van?). I guess they just had to find some way to bring him back, for sequel's sake, but really, I would have settled for writing Michael off as a copy-cat killer in H20. So, after you can get over this enormous plot-hole and after Laurie Strode is finished off, the real story begins. The plot: A group of college-students are chosen to spend a night in the old Myers' house as part of an internet event being held on Halloween night. Each student gets a wealthy scholarship and even a chance to be famous. Busta Rhymes plays Freddy, the man behind all of this. Busta Rhymes really saves this movie. I know a lot of people hated his part, but I thought he did great with it. His scenes with Michael Myers were some of the most memorable since the closet scene in the original (Busta Rhymes dressed as Michael Myers got more than a few chuckles out of me). Rick Rosenthal, director of Halloween II, returns to the helm and does a stellar job of directing it. Visually, this movie is one of the high-points of the series, even the web-cam stuff came out surprisingly great. But the part that severly drags this movie down is the script. There is really no story. I could have written better than this. Also, the whole subplot of the people at the Halloween party watching the event on WebTV was obviously just put in there to fill space. You will notice some relatively big names in this movie, but before you can recognize them, they are slaughtered. Really, everyone here is just morgue meat. The DVD itself is excellent, being one of the best Dimension has ever put out. We get Director's Commentary, an "On-The-Set" montage with Jamie Lee Curtis, two web-cam featurettes, a tour of the set, a wealth of deleted scenes and three (count 'em, three) alternate endings (and there's even more). Whew!

So, overall, after this lengthy review, my summary is this: Halloween Resurrection is a very unnecessary addition to the Halloween series. With Donald Pleasance gone, and Laurie Strode's character dead, there is simply no story to tell anymore. I feel this movie sinking into Friday the 13th territory, where the movies are just vehicles for horny teenagers to be slaughtered (Nothing wrong with that, but Halloween was always ABOVE that). I think they would have been better off leaving H20 as the ending, and I also fear that when they actually decide to do a real finale, no one will care anymore.

Summary: Newest "Halloween" Unimaginative but Thoroughly Enjoyable
Review: If you have Halloween-mythology-amnesia, enjoy this instalment. You have any closeness or love of the instalments after "Halloween II" and before "Halloween: H20" turn away. Or enjoy it for what it is.

While wholly unimaginative, "Halloween: Resurrection" manages to hold on to a shred of decency in its structure and ideas. The idea of filming it a la reality-series style is amusing in style, and allows and otherwise cookie-cutter slasher film to seem different. The kills are extremely boring, unfortunately, and it seems the writers could not come up with an extermination method better than a knife. Impaled on gate? Done. "Nailed" to door with knives? Done. Stabbed? Over-done. Electrocution, hangings, and hand-crushes are all trotted out the same way. While Michael Meyers can't be without his staple knife, its usage could have been more varied.

I will admit that I was surprised by some of the twists the movie brought to the fore. The manipulation of the contestants by the producers is a nice touch adding an element of "is this real?" to the flick.

The opening scene, standing on its own and never addressed again, is chilling in its execution. The character of Laurie Strode never looked so... pointless. Jamie Lee will be missed; she brought a touch of class to all four instalments she was in.

Character development reaches a whole new low. Every character is given so little time to develop we aren't even given a caricature of a character! Once the killings start we are unable to tell which character is going to live until a few are knocked off. The ..., careless people are bopped off first. They may as well have been papier-mâché people.

Otherwise, if you're looking for a mildly entertaining slasher film with comforting familiarity, check this one out. And if you don't, you know you're going to see it just to justify complaining about it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Whats the point of the series?
Review: Another reviewer wanted to know what the point of the "Halloween" movie series is without Laurie Strode. I guess he missed most of them. The point is Michael Myers. They made a mistake I think by pitting Jason against Freddie Krueger. Should be Michael!! This is a great entry, definitely one of the best in the series and a great dvd.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A decent Halloween flick.
Review: Doesn't equal to the standards of the classic original or the underrated second one, but this is quite enjoyable and fun with some gory scenes to make you cringe, Busta Rhymes and Jamie Lee Curtis star in it including the lovely Tyra Banks.

This is set after " H2O", three years later, Laurie Strode ( Jamie Lee Curtist) thought she defeated the monster realizes that it was the wrong person, now Michael is still on the prowl as ever on his neverending killing spree. A group of college students are doing a documentary at the Myer's house on investating the past of Michael, now Mike seeks blood.

Very fun flick with references to "Scream", "Blair Witch Project", and " Pulp Fiction" that makes this a worth-while film.
