Summary: Halloween 2002
Review: Halloween, shadows of fear. in this movie michael whom was beheaded in the last is more unstoppable then ever, the following halloween jamie lee curtis is brutally murdered, but no evidence is found. Three years later, her son is trying to escape haunting memories of that fateful night, when he starts having new dreams of a ghost warning him that michael is coming for him. That halloween, his friends start disappearing, later it is realized that michael is now a shadow, he can only be seen in the darkness, which brings in the fear element much more, once light is shown he vanishes, but he doesnt leave, you just can't see him anymore. he is like a demon, which makes it shadows of fear. then toward the end, a psychic type person invokes the demon, because they cannot stop something they can't find. the rageful spirit of michael takes human form once again, but this time, he is much more powerful than before. in the end they think they have killed him, but only the when the lights go out, do they really know.

Summary: I hope I`m not disappointed.....
Review: The original "Halloween" back in 1978 was without any doubt one of the greatest movies of all time. Why? Chilling atmosphere, impressive music score, great actors....it embodied everything. Now, twenty-three years later after its release, we get the 8th instalment in this immortal series. Even though I`m never and never will be tired of Michael Myers and his mindless killings, I sincerely have my doubts if this one would live up to the expectations. A number of reasons justify my preoccupations:

1.) Director Rick Rosenthal ( who previously directed Halloween 2 back in 1981) has NO idea about what Halloweens 3 to 6 were all about. He even declared that he never even saw them in his whole life. This can bring about gaps in the story-line; the same thing that happened with H20. And hard-core fans of the series won`t obviously be pleased.

2.) Jamie-Lee Curtis is back in playing Laurie Strode! That would be terrific news if it wasn`t for the fact that Laurie is killed in the first part of the movie! Why would the producers resurrect her character in H20 just to kill her again in H8? It just doesn`t make sense.

3.) The movie itself, as you`d expect, is proving to have nothing to do with the original in terms of quality. Whereas Halloween 1 successfuly managed in creating atmosphere and suspense all throughout; this one is proving to be just a "Scream" imitator, with the internet now playing needlessly an important and complicated part in the movie. In fact, the plot circles around a bunch of dudes holding an internet chat in the Myers` house. Were did all the simplicity of the original go?

4.) The main actors in the movie (other than Curtis), are everything rather than promising: Tyra Banks (profession model), and Busta Rhymes (profession rapper) are going to take the lead this time `round. Of course, being a beautiful woman or a good music performer does not make you a good actor, does it? Surely, a far cry from Donald Pleasence.

I`m not ruining anyone`s enthusiasm here. As I have said, I`m a big fan of Michael and of Halloween; but there are some factors which really are everyting but satisfying. Let`s hope no one is disappointed.

Summary: Two stars because it's Halloween.
Review: I just wanted to tell everyone how Michael Myers survived the head chop thing. ;)

I knew from the minute we saw Myers in H20 that it wasn't Michael Myers. Just look at him. You can clearly see his eyes. They made such a big deal out of his eyes in the first Halloween (and also in the pre-movie narration from Loomis in H20), about how the eyes are black, void of anything. And we CLEARLY saw his eyes in H20.

So it wasn't Michael Myers. And for the inevitable "what about his being invincible" argument, well, chasing people who think you're the antichrist is going to give you a huge adrenaline rush.

That's all. So stop bitching about it because he got "decapitated." Start bitching about it because it's a Blair Witch Project rip off that came 3 years too late and another installment to a movie series that stopped being good over 20 years ago.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BIG FAN!
Review: I have been a fan of all the halloween movies. I have also had sevral nightmares wih Michael Myers and i must say to have a night of somone like that is very bad. I wake up sweating just thinking that he might be in the room with me. But yes,yes,yes i know he is not real but it's just a really really scary thought and movie at the sametime. This movie and it's parts have made me think that to me it is the number one horror movie of all time and i love the story line with him trying to get he's sister but she tuff and can beat him. But who knows what is in store for us in part eight i guess we all gotta lock our doors and close our windows and just see what happens.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another one!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The nightmare is back!!!!!!
Review: I have been a huge fan of the Halloween series. They are all great. That is why I cant wait for the 8th! But here is a twist for you to catch, Micheal may not have been the killer in H20! Or I bet that there was to killers in H20 and Micheal was not the man who was decapitated. I will go see it the first day it comes out! If you are a fan of horror movies, go see this!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not What Some Are Expecting
Review: Not to spoil this film too much, but don't expect to see a whole lot of Jamie Lee Curtis's character (Laurie Strode) in this one. I've read a couple of drafts for the picture and other than the scenes involving Curtis this is pretty much sub-standard slasher flick poop. I even prefer the the two films with Daniell Harris to this hackneyed mess. You get a really promising beginning to the film. It completely and plausibly explains why Michael is still alive. Believe me. It does. From then on however, it is just another lame duck, post "Scream" slasher film. Fans of the series are going to go see it but they are not going to walk away satisfied. Sorry.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bring on the michael
Review: i think this movie is going to be good and promising to fans of the previous ones.Here is what i know about the movie so far: Jamie lee's character is in a mental institution. And micheal comes back from the dead to kill her. The rest of the cast that i know of is : Sean Patric Thomas (Save the last dance) Busta rhymes (rapper) and tyra banks (model,actress)

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Halloween Not Quite "Home"
Review: The Halloween machine chugs on, most likely following up on the alternate track the series has taken, in which Laurie Strode didn't die, there are no Druids and Myer's head is lobbed off in the end. It's just as well since no matter how M is brought back the series cannot resurrect its greatest asset which was the late Donald Pleasence. Dimension hyped up the return of Jamie Lee Curtis, but let's face it. She was simply the hapless victim not unlike you or me, while H20's hoo-haa about her conquering her demons was just an attempt at giving weight to an otherwise limp story. It was Pleasence's Dr. Loomis and Myers who were the true diad with each movie following the same pattern: Myers, obsessed with killing shows up, followed by Lomis obsessed with bringing him down. Pleasence's performance lent true gravity to the situation. We believed him when this accomplished psychiatrist called Myers Pure Evil and knew the most scientific method of dealing with him was to, say, blow Michael up (after all he studied Myers his whole life). Halloween 6 actually had a different cut that what was finally theatically released (the original known now as the rarely seen Producer's Cut) but I believe the quite hokey final cut is the best way for the original Halloween plot track to end, with the ambigous final shot. We get the sound clue of Loomis screaming (being killed by Myers or simply fighting with him) and the visual shot of the mask without its owner (a clue that perhaps Myers is the one being finally put out of commision) There is nothing else to reveal and no other way to end the series except with the final bout between the two old foes, the winner's identity left open if there is one at all.

It's not clear who the hero of the latest Halloween would be. Hopefully the filmakers would copy the move they did with the last one and include an exceprt from Loomis' dialogue as a memorial. After all can there really be any one else with the mettle to take on Myers?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: At least jamie's back!!!!!1
Review: This movie doesn't look that bad.For instance Jamie Lee Curtis, is back for her original role.But the stupid thing is how could have Michael Myers survive a head-chop??????
