Summary: Resurrection ROCKS!
Review: I just went and saw Halloween:Resurrection just the other day,
and all I can say is that this movie ROCKS!
It has action, comedy, suspence, and full of edge of your seat
thrills.This film is a perfect follow up to H20, and the original two Halloween films(like H20,Ressurection play`s as
if Halloween`s 3-6 never happened.)And to finish this review
up, all the actors were great in this film!Including Brad Loree
(Michael Myers) and Tyra Banks was even good in this film!
So I recommend all you people to go see this movie.

Summary: the ghost of sequels past
Review: In "Halloween 8: The Search for More Money", Jamie Lee Curtis appears in the opening scenes as the ever-weary Laurie Strode, now a patient in a loony bin. Apparently, through some ridiculous loophole that allows this sequel to exist, she decapitated the wrong guy at the end of "H20", and Michael Myers is still on the loose. As a matter of fact, Curtis dies gracefully after 10 minutes of screen time, and if you interpret that as a spoiler, think again: that's the single most shocking or original thing you'll see in this turgid seventh sequel, and it's actually not very shocking at all.

What remains is pretty awful, too. I suppose I went into the theater with my expectations a bit high after the well-done "H20", but it becomes clear that any of the killer's psychology or motivation is going to be forgotten once the number of sequels in a series gets THIS high. Instead, we have a group of idiotic college students drafted to participate in some contest taking place inside the famed Myers house (imagine the people who stand out in Times Square while TRL is taping and you have their collective personality). Officiating all this is Busta Rhymes and Tyra Banks, two nonactors who fare horribly here, but that's keeping in tune with the rest of the film.

Okay, sounds pretty conventional, doesn't it? Sounds pretty lame, doesn't it? Well, I haven't gotten to the best part yet. Being as it's the new millennium and all, the filmmakers attempt to 'thrust Michael Myers into the 21st century' by having the students' actions broadcast live over the Internet! So, in addition to a lot of obvious false scares and people getting impaled on sharp objects, you also get countless, jittery, grainy POV shots! And the writers, after staying up all night watching "The Blair Witch Project," thought this was a strong enough reason to resuscitate Michael Myers (and his waning franchise)? And keeping with the whole Internet motif, the incredibly lame dialogue seems to have been churned out by a supercomputer that's probably smarter than anyone involved with this film.

Anyway, the gimmick of using different camera stock is very weak excuse for making a film that is obviously about pumping a few more bucks out of a dried-up series. Director Rick Rosenthal ("Halloween II") seems to have forgotten even the elementary scare tactics he utilized 20 years ago. But despite "Halloween 8"'s appalling lack of imagination and contempt for its audience, the filmmakers manage to do one thing right--make it really obvious that the door is open for another sequel (it's a very cheap 'scare' at the end), which, if this film is a financial success, I can only say is a deserved punishment for a public that refuses to learn from the ghosts of sequels past.

Summary: Better than most...
Review: Halloween: Resurrection isn't the best one of the series, but it is deffinitely a worthy sequel. After an eerie and somewhat surprising beginning, the eighth installment of the "Halloween" series delivers plenty of chills and scares. Six college students hold a live web show from Michael Myers's house, hoping to find reasons for his brutality. After realizing they have been set up by the creator of the web show, played by Busta Rhymes, they decide to quit, then realize they can't get out of the house, which is still inhabited by Michael Myers. Their only contact with the outside world is a palm pilot. Halloween: Resurrection was originally set to come out September 21, 2001, but was delayed to reshoot the ending, which is much better than the original, which I have seen. I highly reccomend this to any fan of Halloween, and anyone who wants to be scared, and looking for a good rush of adrenaline.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic Slasher Michael *Kills Told, No Names Of Who*
Review: Michael Myers, serial killer since the late seventies, is back even though he's gotta be like 44 whomping years old. Yet, never the less, Michael happens to find out there's a broadcast in his old home, and he returns to his roots. Freddie, the main man of the project, sends six possible deaths to arouse, if not more. Upon the night, murders happen, and not much story involved. Go especially if you like "slashing"...

Summary: How can you rate this movie based on the trailer?
Review: I've noticed that most of you are rating this movie based on the trailer. Well I've got to say I saw the movie today and it was terrible. Probably the worst in the series. Michael Myers has become Jason and is no longer scary just a killing machine that cannot be stopped. Except for when a rapper is in the movie.... But this is besides the point.... Any real Halloween fan will be drastially disappointed.

For the record I thought H20 was brilliant in the aspect that it dicarded Halloween 3-6 and tried to end the series the way it should have been ended. That movie was made for the fans. This new one is made strictly for the cash.

Summary: NO WONDER NO NEWSPAPER WERE GIVEN A CHANCE
Review: i knew that the ... responsible for this didnt want critics reviewing this mess.i knew MM was decapitated.but i had to find out(THE HARD WAY!)how can they manipulate a sequal.this is in no way going to ruin it for those who havent seen this mess yet.the truth is revealed in the opening scene.it turns out(believe this or not)... and poor jamie lee.she could of ended her career doing something smart.but noooo,she went out like a random extra.all of this stupidity in the 1st 20 minutes.i am so ashamed of myself.knowing it was too horrible for the producers to give any critic an advanced screening,knowing it had a rapper AND A MODEL,knowing the reason for MM surviving would be weak,i still went.SIGH!while watching this mess,i pictured the SCREAM series.every stereotypical charactor was represented.and they all did/said the typical things.the rapper began and ended every sentence with either''... know what im sayin'',the model was always smiling and looking away from the action(thus her screen time was 10 minutes),the ... up couple,the scared lead actress who against her better judgement and''feelings''still allows herself to be placed in wrong situation.NOTHING WORKED FOR THIS GARBAGE.but of all of the things that went wrong,the part that offended me least was the palm pilot communication between internet geek and fraidy cat lead actress''where is he?''shed type,hed type''in the hallway''.OOOOOoooooo,how terrifying.many will waste time/money seeing this but this,like jasonX will leave theatres and fade into video rental history real soon.and i know the garbage will continue next year.will i learn from this mistake?stay tuned!

Summary: Simply Electrifying!!
Review: I am a huge Halloween fan and saw this movie on opening day. I just have to say that it was amazing!! The first Halloween will always be the best but this one rivals it. The opening scene is awesome and Michael Myers shows up right off the bat. There are maybe 10 minutes of the movie that doesn't have Mikey in it. He is all over the rest of it. There is a high death count and I thought the acting was grand. All characters are played very well (even Busta Rhymes). I am definitely going to see it at least twice. I advise you do the same. Happy Halloween!!!
DK57&JFB will live forever!!!

Summary: Halloween Resurrection Best Ever
Review: First of all I heard everyone talking about how terrible this film was gonna be. DONT BELIEVE THEM!
HR was the best Halloween they've made since the original.
There was only one problem with the movie and that was with Laurie Strode(Jamie Lee Curtis)getting sliced in the beggining,
other than that,it was great.
Busta Rhymes was really funny and the rest of the cast also did very well. Michael really looked like Michael. He wasnt to tall or too fat, he looked just right.
GO SEE THIS MOVIE!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: HALLOWEEN FOREVER
Review: I thoughly enjoyed this movie. It had some funny parts, but it was very suspenseful, and it had a semi-good plot, and you never knew when Michael Myers was going to show up. There's a lot of carnage in this movie, but it never gets gory, which I liked. Yet it's a shame that Laurie Strode (the heroine from the first two movies and H20)was killed off in the first ten minutes, but I guess her time had some. Some things won't be around forever. . . unlike Michael. . .

This movie started back in 1978, and it's going after a new generation, so I really liked how Michael's history was intregrated into the story, for those who had no idea about this killing machine named Michael Myers.

Go see this movie if you're a HORROR fan and enjoy a good suspensful story.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Alex's accurate and true review!
Review: When I went to see the movie, Halloween Resurrection, I didn't expect it to be anything more than another ordinary horror flick. Today, most horror films are predictable and always the same. This horror movie was the exact opposite. This movie was totally GREAT! It had tons and tons of jumps and screams, that had perfect timing. There was great suspense, and lots of edge-of-your-seat excitment. The violence wasn't too less or too much. The story line was really great and kept the audience glued to their seat. I definately recommend people to see this movie. People who like great suspense and terror will love this.
RATED R FOR STRONG VIOLENCE, STRONG LANGUAGE, SOME SEXUALITY WITH BRIEF NUDITY, AND BRIEF DRUG USE.
