Summary: "Blair Witch" meets "The Ghost & Mr. Chicken" = Halloween 8
Review: Remember "The Blair Witch Project"? How about "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken"? Well, blend them together, add a few nods to other movies (e.g., "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre") and you've got a mediocre pile of dung called "Halloween-Resurrection".

Summary: A joke comapred to the others
Review: This 8th installment of the Halloween series was kind of embarassing to wacth. I was really looking foward to seeing it because I've been thrilled with this series for years, but this movie was not scary at all, it was a joke! I mean, H20 was even better than this one. Not only is it stupid, it also holds the death of the Laurie Strode. Hell, without Laurie, what's the point of the series?! This series should have ended with H20, because it was predictable that future movies would be as pointless as they come, and this one was!

Summary: Fear is never completely delivered...
Review: Years later, after the first film made by John Carpenter, there is still evil lurking around in Haddonfield, IL. This time there is a bunch of college students that are participating in a live broadcast on the Internet where they are supposed to find out about the secret of Michael Myers. This is supposed to be done by putting the college students in the birth home of Michael Myers over night so they can seek an answer to why he began his murder spree. However, one teenager after another seems to fall under the large blade of Michael Myers, but will the secret of Michael Myers be revealed? Halloween: Resurrection is an extremely predictable horror film where the characters are mindless and incoherent with fear, which ruins the cinematic experience. Nevertheless, there are scares and frights that will cause fear and alarm within the audience.

Summary: Just buy the original!!!
Review: The original Halloween (1978), is one of the greatest and most suspenseful horror films of all time! Halloween 2 was a good sequel, and I don't even remember parts 3,4,5,and 6. However, Halloween H2O is much more suspenseful and entertaining film than Halloween Resurrection. Even Michael Myers doesn't seem to care about the element of surprising his victims in this new installment. He doesn't even stay hidden for very long, before he kills again, and again, and again! Halloween H20 was the perfect ending for this series. My wife and I were staring at each other at the end of Halloween Resurrection in disbelief that we actually sat through the whole movie. The only DVDs from this series that will be in OUR library will be the origianl Halloween and possibly H20.

Summary: Worth A Second Look
Review: I saw this the day it hit the theatres, & was disappointed. Being a die-hard fanatic of ALL the Halloweens, (I THOUGHT H2O WAS ONE OF THE BEST, CONTRARY TO OTHER REVIEWS!) I had to give it another look. I'm glad I did. The premise is that 6 kids spend Halloween night in the Myer's house for a "Dangertainment" reality web-cast. Viewers get to see "only what the contestants see" through cameras attached to their clothes. A good bit of the movie is seen in this view point, on the screen of another group, watching at a party. This is what spoiled it for me at first. Between the view and the dark, it's hard to make out some of what is happening. However, there is PLENTY of suspense, and rap star Bust-A-Rhymes is hilarious as the creator of the web cast. (Look for a scene where he unknowingly confronts Michael, dressed as Michael!) I did not like the fact that Lori Strode was finally killed, though. In H2O, she kind of filled a void left by the death of Donald Pleasence. Now that she's gone,I think it's time to put this one to rest. Jason X did a MUCH BETTER JOB of reviving the Friday The 13th series and giving it a fresh start.

Summary: Not as bad as I'd feared
Review: I was pleasantly surprised by "Halloween: Resurrection." It's not close to the original, but it will do.It was nice to see Jamie Lee Curtis back again (for what will most likely be the last time, *sniff!*) although it was disappointing that after all she's gone through to escape and defeat Michael, her end ultimately comes from a stupid mistake on her part. Laurie, a word of advice: when a masked guy walks through the door to your asylum room (and I mean *through* the door---crash!) and chases you up to the roof with a big giant knife, it's a fair bet he's your evil brother. You don't need to reach out trying to pull his mask off to make sure. Moving on the the rest of the film...the web site angle, with everyone in the house wearing head cams, did make the film very visually interesting, if a bit wobbly at times. It was a different premise. The film hints around a bit that something was unusual about Sara (she screams and a bowl explodes at the web show preview) but that never really went anywhere. I give "Halloween: Resurrection" 3 stars and recommend it to devoted fans of the series. If they *had* to make another one, this wasn't such a bad #8.

Summary: alright
Review: I think Michael Meyers has reached retiration point. First off the movies Halloween 1,2 were the best, u can not beat them unless you make a movie straight about Michael Meyrs.
Start from his chilh hood horror of madness. Shown him through the years of therapy and the mad man he is made out to be....I would watch the life of Michael Meyers...A man as evil and insane as he is made out to be would interest me more than the same old knife stabbing everyone in sight.....

Summary: Evil Gets Lost On The Way Home
Review: The latest HALLOWEEN sequel finds Laurie Strode, (Jaime Lee Curtis) in a mental institution, following the events of H20. It seems that she killed the wrong guy, at the end of the last film, and the REAL Michael Myers (Brad Loree), is still after her. After an all too brief encounter, brother and sister bid farewell, and Myers heads for home.Once the action shifts back to Haddonfield Illinois, the plot becomes a hybrid between the "Blair Witch 2" and every "Friday The 13th" sequel. One of the things that I have always loved about the basic premise, is the fact that, no matter what film (except for #3) it was in the series, it always had a family member of Michael's at its center. After Curtis pays some bills with her cameo, it's all rather anti-climactic. None of the other characters in the film have a hook for the audience to latch on to and care about. Bianca Kajlich as Sara may be a good actress (from tv's Boston Public) but here she's wasted. I won't even get into Busta Rhymes or Tyra Banks and their roles in the film. Let's just say I really miss Donald Pleasence as Dr Loomis. I know he has passed on after number six, but I reallly
could have used a similar type character in the film, someone who could give the story a lift like Laurie's son John (H20) or Sheriff Brackett (Halloween and Halloween II) After the fun of H20, and having Rick Rosenthal (Halloween II) return as director, I really had hoped for a better film. All of the killings were rather been there before. The poor script just felt uninspired after the first 10 minutes. I know that nothing will top the original, but even six had a better plot. I will give them points for finding a way to bring him back after the last film... but that's it After RESURRECTION Michael Myers may finally be dead once and for all. As far as the extras on the DVD, I was surprised to see that RESSURECTION includes the most bonus material, of any film in the series. There has not been a feature-packed Halloween disc like this, since the release of the first film in 1998. It's too bad that in the end, the extras don't amount to much. The commentary track by director Rick Rosenthal and editor Robert A. Ferretti is basically an "interview" session without any real insight. The 2 men blather on and on. For the first audio commentary of the DVD series, this was very disappointing. The deleted and alternate scenes with director's commentary (also a first for the series on DVD) is a bit better. Since part of film's plot deals with the internet and "Reality T.V., there are 2 features that look at those aspects, a web cam special with commentary and additional "head cam" footage from the film is interesting only beause the cast shot this stuff themselves. A photo gallery and storyboard comparisions top off the extras I think even the most die hard fans of the series may have problems with this one
