Summary: Best halloween ever made.
Review: I was pretty speechless after I saw this movie because I didn't know if this was going to be any good or not.If you think Jamie Lee Curtis is going to be in a lot of it don't get mad but she's not'but even though Jamie Lee Curtis wasn't in for an hour and only a couple minutes it's still a good movie.It's not only scary but thrilling,belive me some parts will make you jump out of your seat.Some reviewer's say it sucks but it's really good.Not just for a horror movie but it's just a great movie altogeter.It's a well writen movie because there is nothing else that has to do with the rest of the halloween movies so they made it about anything and it's good.If you like horror movies see it.

Summary: Fails as horror; succeeds anyway
Review: "Halloween: Resurrection" is not a scary film. There are a few jittery moments, and plenty of killing, but nothing that really invites the creeps. Having said that, the latest installment does succeed as modern camp entertainment. In fact, humour is pervasive throughout, which gives the series a much-needed shot in the arm. If "Halloween" is to survive as a film tradition, changes must be made (as New Line realises with the "Friday The 13th" series) and this was a bold step. Is it a good "Halloween"? Well, yes and no. It's entertaining enough, and leaves fans guessing (is Laurie really dead??) and has a really good soundtrack. But if scary is what you're after, and nothing else, "Halloween: Resurrection" will be a letdown and possibly be even lamer than "Halloween 3".

Summary: Better than expected
Review: I went into Halloween expecting another boring halloween sequel.
After #5, the halloween franchise went downhill, except for a nice 20th anniversary film: Halloween: H20, which re-united Lorie strode and her brother, Michael Myers. Ressurection goes beyond the script page and rosenthol brings a cool, dark edge to the film. A little predictable, but all-and-all, it's just pure fun. The only criticism is that why is a halloween film coming out in JULY? A nice installment to the halloween series.

Summary: 5 stars for the opening of the film
Review: I have to say this is second least satisfying sequal. Even though The film starts off beautifully, the remainder is REALLY headache inducing. Busta Rymes. Yeesh. Whatever. The girl who played Sara was so AWFULL and such a HAM!!! Ugh. Getting headache, Getting headache!!!!. See the first ten minutes or so, They are better than the film as a whole. Also , Jamie Lee's screaming is slightly diffrent in this and you'll be more affected by it than ever.

Summary: Horrible.... Well, the first 10 minutes were OK...
Review: The best part about this movie was the opening credits, and the first 10 minutes. The ending was gad awful, it was like a cheesy Friday the 13th movie. That's what I loved about Halloween 1 is that it is so far beyond that. This movie was a disgrace to the Halloween franchise. I wish Moustapha Akkad knew alittle something about the Halloween movies, and alittle more than the fact that they bring in money. I think Donald Pleasence is rolling over in his grave every time the movie plays. This movie made Michael Myers a ghetto joke. It was horrible. And I love Michael Myers, but buddy, it's time to throw in the butcher knife. Although, on a positive note, Cinema Secrets created the best Michael Myers mask since H2. And the one released to the mass market 'ain't too shabby either...

Summary: could of been worse
Review: Alright all you halloween fans giving this movie a bad review, are you nuts, I agree there are a few flaws, like the acting and the point of the story, but look at the sequals of other horror series, such as Jason X. I mean what is that about, I'm very grateful the writers didn't go in that direction with all this futuristic nonsense. Another thing all you others who are upset about entending the series how they should stop making more films, lets be honest you would be pretty upset if you knew that there wasn't another halloween film coming. thanx sorry about the punctuation, please comment on my review

Summary: Great Installment!
Review: I think "Halloween" has always had decent sequels, except for part 3. I thought this was a very good movie. I wasn't very scared, but I thought Busta Rhymes was great. I liked the added comedy. I thought the beginning was the best part, and the scariest. I definetly recommend this one.

Summary: What's the boogeyman?...as a matter of fact...
Review: HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION marks the most current reincarnation of one of celluloid's most famous serial killers, Michael Myers. Indeed, he has come home yet again, and the majority of devotees of the Samhain-possessed murderer should be pleased.The movie begins with an energetic prologue explaining how Myers survived his previous bout with execution and displaying the present whereabouts of his sister, Laurie Strode (played effectively by Jamie Lee Curtis). Seems Strode has been cooped up in an asylum because of her actions the last time around- but she's all too aware that her evil relation will be back soon enough. So she remains prepared for his inevitable visit, ditching the drugs they give her and setting a trap which hopefully will put an end to the phoenix-like menace that's been around for most of her life. Fortunately- and as can only be expected- Myers avoids the Reaper yet again, and we receive a somewhat ambiguous climactic confrontation between he and his sibling. After that, the primary focal point of the film commences: the old Myers abode is going to be utilized for a web-based reality show. Several college kids are recruited to spend All Hallow's Eve there, searching for clues to the madness of poor Michael. To spice things up, the producer of the show Freddie Harris- played by Busta Rhymes- makes sure there are plenty of things for the kids to find; he even dresses as the killer, leading to one memorable, very comedic scene. Myers eventually gives in to his genetic imperative and offs as many helpless victims as he can, following the formula set forth by John Carpenter and Debra Hill so many years ago. What makes this HALLOWEEN- as well as the last installment- so different from the earlier ones is its total adoption of the contemporary youth-scene style; we definitely have an "old school" vs. "new school" going on here (it is a Dimension property, keep in mind). If you are the type of Myers fan who longs for the days of Dr. Loomis (and who doesn't, of course; also, a random thought: if Dr. Hannibal Lector had been around in the early 80s, Donald Pleasance would have made a great deranged cannibal psychiatrist), you might be disappointed. As for me, I am totally behind the whole post-SCREAM horror renaissance, I think it possesses a valid manner of presentation for today's culture- besides, there's enough of the "old school" in the film to keep the orthodox purists from totally dismissing the product (in fact, as anti-intellectual a concept as Jason-is-a-cyborg-in-the-future is, JASON X actually worked as a "Scream"-like derivative). Believe it or not, there's some deep satire going on within the flipping frames as well. What gives RESURRECTION some added depth is its commentary on the whole reality-show zeitgeist which has permeated just about all of the media collective. After all, are any of these "reality" shows really real? Are the safety of the participants involved held in paramount respect, or is the craving for an unfettered bottom line the main religion? Are these shows tempest pots waiting to boil over with unpalatable, horrific results? The film addresses these issues in a superficial fashion, perhaps even in a subtextual manner in some ways (although in other ways, it's directly delivered; think of Busta Rhymes's little speech). It wasn't a complex film. It's not a film to be studiously examined or overly dissected (unless you work in this particular genre- if you're looking to replicate URBAN LEGENDS or I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, then this isn't necessarily a useless textbook). It's a trip down memory lane, a jaunt down a quaint suburban street where babysitters are never safe, where a murderous creature named Michael Myers wields a kitchen knife and uses it not to prepare sustenance but to deny continuation of life. In this context, it was a memorable piece.
