Summary: HALLOWEEN:RESURRECTION FOREVER
Review: The 8th entry has Michael Myers killing Laurie in the local nuthouse and returning to his house and kill webcam teens searching his house but they die and it takes people to kill Michael.this film is the best in the series espically the deleted scenes and alternate endings on the dvd.but parts 4 and 6 are the best.the Internet/Headcam thing is silly, but the cast like Bianca Kajlich,Busta Rhymes,Tyra Banks,Katee Seckhoff,Sean Patrick Thomas,Thomas Ian Nicholas,and Ryan Merriman,plus a cameo by Jamie Lee Curtis are quite well-casted.but one thing about this film that is bad is Michael's mask it is worser than his masks in parts 5 and H2O,you can see his eyes making him goofier than scarier.Rated R for Graphic Violence,Language,Some Sexual Content and Nudity,and Brief Drug Use.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: Not very hyped up, but true hardcore Halloween fans like me hyped it up. Taking after the surprising ending of "Halloween: H20", Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) decapitated her evil brother, the white-masked serial killer Michael Myers. Because of her 'murder', she is now incarcarated in a sanitarium, ironically because Michael was after he killed Laurie's older sister years ago. The movie starts off amazing, with a good storyline, but then it slowly falls into darkness. After the beginning part at the sanitarium, but as the plot moves back to Haddonfield it gets boring and stupid. Annoying young actors like the guy from American Pie, the black guy from Save The Last Dance, and other mediocre actors have been selected to be in a MTV Fear-like show where they have to spend a night in the home of Michael Myers. Of course, Michael won't like having unexpected guests in his house, and has to deal with them. The DVD almost makes up for the movie, with impressive video of 2.35:1, and audio of Dolby Digital 5.1. A DTS 5.1 would've been nice, too. The special features include deleted scenes, featurettes, behind-the-scenes look, and a special featurette on the "cameras" of Halloween: Resurrection. The title to the film, I found, to be misleading. Overall a disappointing movie not worth much more than a rental. But me, I had to buy it to complete my Halloween DVD collection. Nothing so far has surpassed the original, but at least this keeps up the continuity between the 1st one, H20, and this one.

Summary: It Should Be Done.
Review: From the title, one would think that HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION deals with the resurrection of Michael Myers whom was supposedly beheaded in HALLOWEEN H20. Instead, this movie is more about an attempt at resurrecting the HALLOWEEN franchise for a new generation. The movie starts off with a lenghty prologue that ties together the events of H2O. Laurie Stroud (Jamie Lee Curtis) didn't kill her brother, Michael Myers, in H2O. Instead, she mistakenly murdered someone else. For the past three years, she has been in a mental hosptial, preparing herself for the day that Michael will appear again. Well, he does show up and as a result the greates horror heroine of all time, leaves the HALLOWEEN series for the final (probably) last time. With the old generation gone, its time to start with a new. The rest of the film takes place in Myers childhood home where a group of young college students are hosting a Halloween web-cast. Most of them end up getting killed rather pointlessly in stupid fashion. I was disappointed that Jamie Lee Curtis was written off. With her character gone, Michael Myers should have either hunted done her son or committed suicide. Therefore, even though it's not clear what HALLOWEEN 9 will bring, if the filmmakers are wise, they'll have Michael Myers hunting his nephew who is somehow involved with the Sarah of this movie. In that case, HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION would be a decent sideroad in this neverending horror story. Otherwise, the film will be just another failed attempt at freshening something that died in H2O.

Summary: It's Lost It's Originality!
Review: The Halloween series has always and will always be one of the most popular and scary slasher sagas in history. After the amazing Halloween H20 everyone knew they'd be a sequel. So along came Halloween Resurrection . . . A group of teens win a contest to spend a night in the home of Michael Myers only to be killed off one by one as Michael silenty creeps around the dark corridors. The film's storyline is good and unlike Friday The 13th or A Nightmare On Elm Street the series hasn't gotten stupid but it is beginning to lose the originality is started out with. Lots of people keep saying the film is rubbish because Michael starts killing a bunch of people he doesn't even know when originally it said that Michael had set out in the first film to kill off all his remaining family members. HELLO!!! The only reason Michael's killing these kids is because he found them in his house! If they weren't there I don't think he would've given a damn about them. Also the original scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis makes a short cameo role in the film and truly goes out with a bang! All in all I liked this film but I think it's losing it's own taste and becoming a bit more like Scream. I've heard there will be a Halloween 9 and hope that it's a lot more original and unique! Come on writers you owe it to Michael Myers!

Summary: Not even close....
Review: This is OK as a stand-alone slasher flick, but it hardly relates to the rest of the movies....As a fan of the series, I am disappointed to see it go this route...as if ignoring parts 4-6 wasn't bad enough, it even ignores Michael's motivation of killing family members from part 7....shouldn't he be hunting down his nephew, John??
And what were Tyra Banks and Busta Rhymes doing in this movie? Busta Rhymes had some funny moments, but he had no business being in this film! With his kung fu karate chop antics and big mouth, he offered some comic relief, but little else. As a horror flick, it did succeed in scaring ya, which is the purpose, and an interesting premise with the webcam/Internet broadcast....but overall it was just bad acting and a disappointing chapter for those who have been fans of the series....Skip it!

Summary: Interesting try
Review: Unfortunately after Halloween H20,the Halloween series as become a typical teen slasher series but the concpet of Halloween Resurrection interested me enough to see it.There's a show on T.V. called Sacrest Places On Earth hosted by Linda Blair,that is the bases of this film get a family or a bunch of kids together,give them video cameras and get them to see if the house is haunted or what.That was the only thing I really liked about this film,also on the speical features,there's a web cam special which lets you watch 40 mins of the film from the characters POV by their cams.Forget watching the whole film just go to the webcam special instead,it's more entertaning to watch then the movie itself.

Summary: A DISGRACE TO THE HALLOWEEN SERIES
Review: ive been a fan of the halloween series since i was a kid. there are no words to describe my disapointment in this film on all levels. i first read the reviews on this site about halloween reserection and then decided to buy it despite the bad reviews. i thought maybe the people wernt being open - minded enough with the idea and story and modern way the film was made. boy was i wrong, this movie was horrible. the acting was so bad and so comical i couldnt beleive it.i couldnt beleive they allowed this film to be made. the actors were bad, micheal myers didnt even look the same! his mask was diffrent and walk. this movie wasnt even scary. this made halloween h20 look like a masterpiece.this film is a joke. ll cool j was good in halloween h20 and not over the top and he could at least act but they brought in busta ryhmes and had him dress up as micheal myers! and telling him to burn mother ... burn! i mean come on this was more a cheesy comedy than a true horror film like the others. beforei saw this film i said no way can this be worse than halloween 3 , ( the one where micheal myers wasnt even in the film), but it was! it was so comical and the actors were terrible. the plot [wasn't good]. poor jamie lee , i cant beleive she even decided to do this after reading the script! i never thought i would say this about a halloween movie, i thought every other halloween film including the curse of micheal myers ( which most people dont like) was great but if you see this you will know what im talking about. what a waste this was, do not buy this. YOU WILL REGRET IT!

Summary: Halloween Not Resurrected
Review: As a collector and an avid fan of these movies i have to admit being very dissapointed in this latest sequal.
I would have to rate this the worst in the series to date, and i feel most fans would agree with me there.
This movie fails to capture what the previous films had in atmosphere or any kind of decent plot line and the characters in this are awfully played out and just wish them all to be killed as soon as possible.
Lots of reasons could be that the film makers had a lot of production problems but that should not excuse the terrible script and annoying direction from Rick Rosenthal, who directed the much superior Halloween 2.
The opening 12 minites are fine, with Jamie Lee Curtis reprising the role as troubled Laurie, confronting Michael Myers in the psychiatric institute she has been commited to. These are the best moments of the entire film, although everything seems slightly rushed and poorly put together.
After the opening scenes, and the TV-like credits appear, the remaining plot revolves around 6 or so students going to Myers house to do live internet broadcast in the vain of MTVs 'Fear' or 'Big Brother'. Myers comes along and kills most of them.
That is the srotyline. Its the worst plot this series has ever had, in previous films Myers usually pursues a family member and dost just simply kill random people for no reason whatsoever, which i think makes this movie pointless. Its more like watching Friday The 13th.
The characters are so ... annoying i wish they were all killed from the start, and Busta Rhymes is the most annoying of them all along with some blonde girl named Jen who just repulses the viewer with her awful acting.
Another complain is the use of internet cams, which whilst maybe inventive, i found it irritating and annoying.
The ending is diabolical, and with some college kids all tuned in at a seperate house cheering on the sole survivor from the internet, this is obviously aimed at a younger audience then previous Halloween films.
The above mention scenes are farcial and plain embarrasing from a fans view, and really makes a mockery of what has been a great series.
There will be a Halloween 9, i will buy it, but i hope they go back to basics and take more time then they did on this one.

Summary: Here we go Again......
Review: What can be said about this chapter? First of all, this movie is not for horror fans. Instead, it's for the ones who don't see them much because they get nervous and jumpy really easily. When there is absolutely nothing on the screen to scare you, why does the music make you think there is? (Other then to try and tease you, which I never bought) It seems like the viewer is expected to be scared just because they're watching a horror movie, and this movie plays on that endlessly. Then there's the extreme lack of originality:
It starts with the typical opening scene used to show the "insanity" of the killer (only then followed by the title of movie) Then there the pointless, out of place, false scares and failed attempts at disturbing violent scenes. A recycled script makes a character (who we thought was just recently killed) come back to save the day with amazing ability... followed by the sequel permitting ending Stereotypical isn't it? "Halloween:Ressurection" was not boring, it just didn't acheive anything. I saw right through it all and was not convinced. Does anyone even still care for it's main theme? Does it even scare anybody? It really doesn't embellish anything here... just adds to the word "attempt".
