Summary: Wish they'd left it after H20...
Review: This was an okay movie, considering it was an effort to cash in on all the current 'reality tv' crazes. A group of teens are set up to spend the night in Michael Myers' childhood home. They're promised that everything is totally genuine, but even this batch of ultra stupid teens aren't gullible enough not to realise they've been set up for a so-called scare-fest to drag in the equally gullible viewers.
I found Michael's presence in the house fairly plausible (if you can overlook the whole 'decapitated by his sister' thing at the end of H20). He apparently had been hiding away in a sealed off section under the house for some months. Actually, the bloodfest that follows wasn't murder. It was just dear Michael being territorial...
Sarcastic comments aside, it wasn't a bad movie in all. The best parts were the young computer hacker who guided the 'heroine' through the house, letting her know exactly where Michael was.
My biggest gripe is what they did to Jamie Lee Curtis' character. That they finally... actually, no. I won't give that away, in case anyone reads this who hasn't seen it yet. But the bottom line is that they should have left this series alone after H20. I personally love watching Laurie Strode marching up the road to the school, axe in hand, screaming her brother's name. To have her courageous actions in that movie reduced so much was a shame.
Ressurection is okay, but H20 is far better. Don't watch this latest installment, and expect to be satisfied. I don't think you will be, not if you enjoyed H20 as much as I did.

Summary: WARNING: THIS MOVIE IS A WASTE OF TIME
Review: The original Halloween is not only my favorite horror movie, it is my favorite movie of all time. I even liked the sequels H2, H3, H4, and H20. But this latest installment is the worst thing to happen to the series yet. Resurrection throws out any plot that the movie could still hold on to and just goes for cheap humor and gory special effects. Producer Moustapha Akkad is just out to make a buck by releasing more Halloween titled movies in the post-Scream era. And now the news through the grapevine is that he is planning a new one. Give it up, man! The series has nothing else to offer. As for those who give this movie a great review, you must be the most simple-minded individuals ever to walk the earth. How could anyone appreciate the original Halloween and actually think that this one is decent? As far as I'm concerned, Michael Myers was finally layed to rest when he lost his head in 1998 by the hands of his sister. It's over, it was fun, now let's move on. THE END.

Summary: MICHAEL JUST CAN'T SEEM TO DIE
Review: THE PLOT FOR THIS ONE; AN INTERNET REALITY TV SHOW CHALLENGES A GROUP OF TEENAGERS TO SPIN THE NIGHT AT THE MYERS HOUSE, NOT KNOWING THAT MICHAEL MYERS SHOWS UP AND STARTS KILLING THEM OFF ONE BY ONE. THE OPENING SEQUENCE IN WHICH WE FIND OUT THAT THE GUY'S HEAD THAT JAMIE LEE CURTIS CHOPPED OFF AT THE END OF H2O WASN'T MICHAEL MYERS IS PURE GENIUS. BUT SADLY, JAMIE LEE CURTIS' CHARACTER IS FINALLY KILLED OFF IN THIS FILM, AND IT HAPPENED RATHER EARLY. THE MAJOR FLAW; CASTING BUSTA RHYMES. BUSTA CRACKS TOO MANY JOKES AND MAKES THE MOVIE SEEM LIKE IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SCARY AT TIMES. THE MOVIE IS OK, BUT THE ENDING IS SOMEWHAT OF A LETDOWN. STILL, I'D RECCOMEND THIS TO ANY HORROR FAN IF THEY WANNA SEE AN ALRIGHT HORROR SEQUEL FROM RECENT YEARS.

Summary: Halloween: Ressurection - A review
Review: Another Halloween film and the eighth enstallment in the Halloween series (not saga) and the film takes off three years after Halloween H20: Twenty-years Later; we find that Laurie Strode is locked away in the loney home.
The opening scene explains why there is another Halloween film and how the mericless killer, Michael Myers (not Jason dammit!)is still alive.
After the explaination, Michael goes after his sister, Laurie Strode with an unknown purpose, but this time he finish's her off. I did not like this at all. But for all you people who like Halloween, Michael Myers cannot die, and maybe that might run in the family, and that line from H20 can be true. you know that line, "No she faked her death." So Laurie Strode might still, well, be alive.
The movie gives the scares when the opening credits starts with the Halloween Theme playing, and that lets you know it is going to be a very terrifying ride.
The opening scene does not scare that well and lets you down that the movie is not going to be scary, but I think that was the idea of the director: Rick Rosenthal, who directed Halloween 2.
As it gets more into the film, scares start to scare. This is an extremly scary film and everyone that I have talked to, says that this movie is the scariest movie they have ever seen. This movie is the scariest movie that I have ever seen. It is more scarier than The Exorcist.
It is a terrifying movie that never stops. Filled with surprise around every corner and smart. This movie is really fun, filled with humor, surprises, and non-stop. The most terrifying Halloween, the motion picture series that redifined terror.

Summary: RESURRECTION IS ACTUALLY GOOD
Review: This movie is actually good and entertaining. People just need to stop comparing it to the original halloween. Michael looks awesome, and his killings are cool. So what if some of the acting is bad, most of the bad actors get killed anyway. I love this movie and im not afraid to say it

Summary: Not even as good as the copycats
Review: I guess it was inevitable that Jung was eventually brought into this series. Michael Myers - or "The Boogyman" as he is called - is what is evil within all of us, the "shadow". This is the idea brought up in the classroom scene, a scene that refers back to Halloween I (though it is more similar to the classroom scene in H2O). The idea of Michael as the evil within us could have turned out to something interesting, but it is very soon dropped and Michael is turned into a very uninteresting killing machine. As Busta Rhymes character, "Freddie", puts it: "Michael Myers is a killer shark in baggy ass overalls who gets his kicks off of killing everything and everyone he comes across." In other words, Michael is in this film nothing but a horror movie cliché.The plot is outright stupid. Six young persons are invited to explore the house of Michael Myers to find out why he turned bad, and everything they do is filmed and broadcasted on the internet. Unfortunately, Michael is still around and starts killing them one by one. In a room in a different house where some other young people have a party everything is watched on the internet. With this setup, the film naturally turns into a mix of Scream and The Blair Witch Project - we even get the classic Blair Witch shot with a girl looking down the camera with flash light in her face. This film is for the most parts lacking what made Halloween I so enjoyable: good music (the theme is of course there and is still enjoyable) beautiful milieus, and lots of charm. Instead of memorable lines as "It's totally dark in here" and "Hey, jerk! Speed kills", we have dialogues like this: (Two of the young people in the house are about to have sex, and the boy apparently gets turned on by clever girls)
- Say something smart!
- Existence precedes essance. Ok, it's funny. But I don't think it's intended to be. My advice is that you see the real thing instead. The problem is that I don't know what that would be in this case: Halloween I, H2O, Scream or The Blair Witch Project...

Summary: A GREAT ADDITION TO THE HALLOWEEN SAGA!!!
Review: After the ending in H20 I was disappointed that there wouldn't be any more.When I heard about this one I got very excited.Michael crushed a cop's throat and put him in the costume when he got his head chopped off.A group of 6 students are cast to be on a new television show called ''Dangertainment''.There's only one catch,the show takes place in the Myers house!The students must stay the night in the house and they will get a collage scholarship.Little do they know that Michael Myers is waiting for them.It was too bad that Laurie dies.There are no origional death scenes so for any fans who watch it for that reason alone should stick to the others in the series.For any horror fans or Halloween fans I would reccomened.

Summary: Most Idiotic Halloween ever.
Review: This has to be the dumbest Halloween movie out there. I'm sorry but the filmmakers are trying to hard and the little cameras that the people had on thier heads made the movie a little more boring. The acting was a disaster and so was the plot and the best character died in the starting when she could have just done him off. So this is my review and I hope it's helpful! That is All, Good-bye.

Summary: Halloween 8
Review: Do not bother buying this DVD, unless you just want to own all the Halloween movies. It is the worst out of the Halloween series. I personally liked them all until this one came out. It just plain sucks. Bad Acting, Bad Storyline, Bad Score, Bad Everything. I was even ashamed of Jamie Lee Curtis's small cameo role. Bottom line this movie should be selling for $ brand new. The so called delted scenes are not complete either. They are missing the original intro to the film. So if you are buying the movie for that, don't bother.
