Movie Info
Masked serial killer Michael Myers makes his seventh appearance in the eighth installment of this long-running slasher series. Although the climax of the previous installment, Halloween: H20, depicted heroine Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) finally finishing off her brother/tormentor, the opening sequence of Halloween: Resurrection reveals that Laurie actually beheaded the wrong guy. Now confined to a mental institution, she quickly falls victim to her brother and longtime foe (played this time

[Seems] even more uselessly redundant and shamelessly money-grubbing than most third-rate horror sequels.
Top CriticWhile the production values here are more cool than crappy, there's nothing really new about Resurrection.
A cheesy thing that opened Friday without any advance screening.
Spectators will indeed sit open-mouthed before the screen, not screaming but yawning.
It's not the worst film in the series -- Halloween III will never be unseated -- but there's not nearly enough scares, or humor, to make Halloween: Resurrection worthwhile.
Generic slasher-movie nonsense, but it's not without style.
Provides the Halloween franchise with a clear, objective Worst Movie Of The Series...a virtually flawless collection of all the things that can make a slasher film unwatchable.
A pretty funny comedy starring the one, the only, the incomparable...Busta Rhymes.
It follows the basic formula with just enough of a fresh variation to make the inevitable mayhem worth waiting for.
A única pessoa que se deu bem com este filme foi Jamie Lee Curtis, que garantiu sua saída definitiva da série.
A Blair Witch- style adventure that plays like a bad soap opera, with passable performances from everyone in the cast.
Halloween: Resurrection is surprisingly effective, especially the opening sequence featuring the showdown between Laurie and Michael.
Rubber heads and lines are the order of the night.
...frenetically paced, totally predictable, and ultimately laughable.
...one resurrection too many.
Only a few minutes elapse before the daddy of all slashers arrives, still with the boiler suit and white mask, which look remarkably clean for a guy who has been mass-murdering since 1978 but has never been seen doing laundry.
An unsatisfying hybrid of Blair Witch and typical stalk-and-slash fare, where the most conservative protagonist is always the last one living.
The movie is like a year late for tapping into our reality tv obsession, and even tardier for exploiting the novelty of the "webcast."
Resurrection has the dubious distinction of being a really bad imitation of the really bad Blair Witch Project.
The only fun part of the movie is playing the obvious game. You try to guess the order in which the kids in the house will be gored.
Sad nonsense, this. But not without cheesy fun factor.
Cannot revive a franchise that has been worn out since its first sequel.
Audience Reviews for Halloween - Resurrection
Super Reviewer
"Michael's work in Haddonfield is not done yet."
Not only is Halloween: Resurrection the second worst film in the franchise, and the worst one that actually has Michael Myers in it; but it also has the worst twist ever, to keep a franchise going. It is a joyless attempt at to make more money because of the moderate success of H2O. The cast is shit and the story is shit, which more than not makes the movie shit.
The movie starts off with that horrible twist I was talking about. Then we go to an insane asylum where Laurie Strode is now. Myers comes back and kills some people. Then we jump to Haddonfield University where three friends are cast in an Internet reality show. They, along with three others will spend a night in Michael Myers home, with cameras broadcasting it for the whole world to see. It that isn't bad enough, the leaders of this show are played by Busta Ryhmes and Tyra Fucking Banks. Horrible!
Good thing the movie doesn't even make it to the hour and a half mark because if it was any longer I would have had to put a bullet through my head. This is down there with slashers like Jason X. It is that bad.
