There's no evidence of craftsmanship or energy. Everything, from the plot to the execution, is plodding and obligatory.

Reviews for Halloween: Resurrection
Top CriticWhile the camera gimmick is put to good use once the bodies start piling up, the movie fails in several ways, not the least of which is it's never even a little bit scary.
07/12/02
Moustappha Akkad once again proves that he cares more about money than any kind of artistic vision. This series should have ended five sequels ago...
07/22/02
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.
09/01/08
Our once-shadowy, nightmarish figure is now shot exclusively in overlit, sitcom styled close-ups.
07/17/02
The latest entry in the horror series is simply a slasher flick. At that level, it's not bad, with some clever twists on the genre.
07/14/02
Top CriticAm I missing something? I admit, I haven't watched all of the previous movies, but based on what I've seen I can't imagine why anyone else would.
07/12/02
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.
07/15/02
Top CriticRedo the first movie, add a reality show element where everybody wears a personal cameras so not only do we get overacting, we get fuzzy video feeds and bad camera angles.
07/12/02
Cannot revive a franchise that has been worn out since its first sequel.
07/18/02
Comes closer to comatainment.
07/13/02
Top CriticWhile the production values here are more cool than crappy, there's nothing really new about Resurrection.
07/15/02
Top CriticRubber heads and lines are the order of the night.
03/05/03
A cheesy thing that opened Friday without any advance screening.
07/15/02
Top CriticI have to admit that I had a good time with this brain-dead slasher flick %u2013 not in spite of its myriad stupidities, but because of them.
07/16/02
The latest episode of the Halloween franchise is a bad film. It is not, however, so bad that the faithful should be discouraged from attending.
07/14/02
Not scary but mildly satisfying anyway.
07/15/02
" . . . the latest in the Michael Myers series is flat, unfunny and less frightening than a Vanilla Ice comeback album."
07/15/02
A true but very tired slasher flick.
07/13/02
The film's trailer also looked like crap, so crap is what I was expecting.
