Summary: Evil Comes Home
Review: I saw the fog a few weeks ago and thought Jamie was good in it. I only saw the first Halloween but I can tell this is a good movie to see on halloween. So I advise you so board up your windows and doors and get on a comfortable couch and get ready to get sacred out of your life.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Satan with a Mask
Review: I've always loved horror movies, and the Halloween series is by far one of the very the best. In my opinion, this is the best one yet. Michael Myers returns and finally achieves his goal by killing his sister (Jamie Lee Curtis.) Of course, the poor man cannot just return home and retire. Busta Rhymes, (who did a great acting job,) puts together an internet webcast from the Myers house. Naturally, many people end up brutally and savagely murdered. High body count for a Halloween movie, and truly wonderful murder scenes. Michael is still the evilest of the evil, and 20+ years hasn't softened him one bit. You can't help but love him!

Summary: Halloween Resurrection = Best sequel yet
Review: This movie was torn reviewed poorly and was even given a "D" rating. I will testify this is one of the best Halloween sequels EVER!!! Within the first 10 minutes of this movie I was on the edge of my seat and asking "what the ..., did that just happen?!" I have seen every Halloween movie released... this sequel has it all; action, suspense, horror and much more! "Halloween Resurrection" is #1 on my list of horror movies and was definitely worth the time and money to see. I will be buying this movie when it's released, I can't wait to see it again. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HALLOWEEN RESURRECTION TO HORROR ENTHUSIASTS EVERYWHERE!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Poor Film Gets Great DVD Treatment
Review: To say the 8th installment of Halloween was a disappointment is an understatement that most will agree with. I'm sure there are some fans of Halloween 3, 4, 5 and 6 who like Michael in slice and dice mode, but for those of us who enjoy Michael with some substance and realism like in the original and parts 2 and 7, we're gonna have to wait for another entry, because sadly Michael's homecoming is not all that great. The film starts out with a good, but unnecessary opening sequence that once again pins Michael against his sister Laurie Strode played by the ultra cool Jamie Lee Curtis. If only she had won the battle, the rest of the film may be as entertaining as it's opening ten minutes. Sadly, it just goes down hill from there with boring, cliched characters and dorky plots that get everyone into trouble that anyone with a half of brain in real life wouldn't have gotten themselves into. If this movie makes you long for another Scream sequel in which reality at least played in some part of the film, you are not alone. Trashy horror films like these should have been left in the 80's and early post Scream era. To believe just how tacky this movie is, you have to see it for yourself. I'd recommend renting it unless you're like me and stupid enough to buy a piece of crap just to complete a collection. There are some decent things about it. The cast is all very good even if they do play characters we've seen time and time again. Jamie's appearance does make the film have some tiny shread of credibility. And the DVD is gonna rock with tons of special features like behind the scenes, making of, deleted scenes, commentary and a really cool feature where you can switch back and forth between camera angles using the cameras the characters were strapped with in the movie. Enjoy the features and ignore the movie. That's my advice... After watching this you'll know why Michelle Williams and Josh Hartnett didn't return.

Summary: garbage
Review: If you absolutly must see this movie- I implore any true Halloween fan to promptly get out of their chair after the film's prelude, and exit the movie theater..... One has to wonder if John Carpenter even watched this chode of a movie. I personally would have strangled Rosenthal to death for what he did to my character. This is like Jason X all over again. This sereis, and sevral others like it are as good as dead to any of it's original fans, appealing now only to pop cultured teenage masses. Were in God's name did they get the main female lead from? Her boyish grunts, goofy yells and complete lack of any personality really compliment Busta Ryhmes powerful acting talents...let me tell you. This movie is about as shallow as foot bath...a very classic, very epic horror sereis once again is ruined by pop culture, lame actors, and a director who dos'nt know his ... from a hole in the ground.

and thats all I have to say about that.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: here we go ...one more time...again...once more...
Review: Now, before i review this film, i will remind you of one fact. This is the eigth installment of the 1970's horror franchise, "Halloween". Now, With this in mind, i as the viewer did not have high hopes walking into the theater. Im a movie goer who doesnt beleive in sequals (unless they are part of a series, and conclude a bigger story I.E Godfather, Scream, Star wars exe). Now all this aside, Halloween Reserection is a moderetly enjoyable film. Its potental defently shines on the giant screen of the drive in, and is natuarly the only enviroment to view this film. Unfortunetly Our drive in's carried nouthing but spiderman and the scorpion king this summer. The film starts off pretty much where the last one left off (With Ms.Curtis finaly Decapitating the beloved slice and dicer). Now did we sincerly think that was the end? Oh of coarse not. They cook up an actualy very clever story to bipass the certain ending wich gave the franchise it's final stab. I give the screen author kudos, because we know this plot twist was not planned durring the scripting of Halloween 7. How ever its cleverness is soon killed off with the death of a major character ( Yes Jamie does actualy get killed off in the first 5 minutes of the film). Leaving the rest of the film basicaly pointless. When you craft a series of films where the main objective carries from film to film (that objective, KILL SISTER), no matter how random, and unexplaned the objective is (hey any one wonder why he tried so darn hard to kill his sister for so darn long? The kid is driven), and to have this goal reached so soon in the movie, leaves the viewer with a sense of, "Ok now what?". And we never realy find out. The rest of the film has blood, boobs, screams, and all the other sights expected from such a film...But it just seemed so endless. The terror that made horror fans scream at the origonal 2 Halloweens as all disapeared. I thought they would go with the obvious and have Micheal seek out his nephew, but he was not mentioned in the intire film (mind you they could not pay, or get Josh Hartnet to fill the shoes again). With all the disapointments it still is a must see for the hard core halloween fans, or new commers who havent seen the other films. Its a campy blood bath, and has its moments (Busta Ryhmes plays an enjoyable character), even if the ending makes the audiance groan "Oh good god, You have to be kidding me?"

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Perhaps We Should Consider What Freud Would Say
Review: The beginning, with Jamie Lee Curtis, was the best part of this movie. I didn't care for the whole " The Haunting"-like idea of a handful of stupid college kids going into the Myers house to learn about what made the psycho tick. Though, I did like the idea that it was hinted at that maybe Michael had been tortured as a child. It was better than the symbol in the sixth installment, which supposedly we are supposed to forget about since this is a sequel to the first, second and seventh installment, not connected with the rest. I'd like to be given some psychological explanation for why he became the way he was instead of falling back on witchcraft and the occult, etc. I know that is too much to ask from a horror movie, though. Especially a sequel. However, at least they attempt it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Halloween Resurrection Is Excellent! Please Read...
Review: I am a huge HALLOWEEN fan and have been waiting for RESURRECTION for 2 years. Originally supposed to come out Fall 2000... I really didnt now what to expect. But, I was not dissapointed. I knew Michael Myers was still alive becasue at the end of H20, when "Michael" reaches out his hand, there is no THORN symbol. Well, HALLOWEEN RESURRECTION is not scary, but it is very entertaining, Rosenthal did a great job. And, there are tons of people who are dissapointed with Busta Rhymes acting, but I think he added some life to the movie. There is nothing much else I can say except it is a CLASSIC HORROR MOVIE.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not a bad sequel by any means.
Review: Believe it or not this is actually a decent Halloween sequel. Halloween parts 3,5,6 were really not that great, but this one however, is good. After 'Halloween: H20' I didn't know what to expect from the franchise. I thought it was dead over after a seemingly final death for Michael Myers. But they obviously got around that and made another sequel. The only problem that I had with this movie was the death of Jamie Lee Curtis' character Laurie Strode. After this sequel it should end because she is finally gone after this one. Yes there is still her son to go after but who cares now. If they keep at it like the Jason films these films will eventually go down rock bottom. I liked pretty much everything else about this film though.....the music, the pacing, and the dark tone in this film. Michael Myers was actually scary in this film and his mask looked great. Overall this was a good one and managed to pull a respectable [$$$] at the Box Office. Wow !! Go 'Halloween: Resurrection' !!
