Halloween - Resurrection Reviews

Rosenthal (Halloween II) seems to have forgotten everything he ever knew about generating suspense.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

While the production values here are more cool than crappy, there's nothing really new about Resurrection.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Not scary but mildly satisfying anyway.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

A cheesy thing that opened Friday without any advance screening.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4

If this is the resurrection of the Halloween franchise, it would have been better off dead.

| Original Score: 1/4

Spectators will indeed sit open-mouthed before the screen, not screaming but yawning.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

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.

| Original Score: 2/5

Good for a cheapie fright-night outing (or at least a fun rental later for your next slumber party).

Full Review | Original Score: C+

Generic slasher-movie nonsense, but it's not without style.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

The thrill is (long) gone.

Full Review | Original Score: C-

No, it's not as single-minded as John Carpenter's original, but it's sure a lot smarter and more unnerving than the sequels.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

Hard-core slasher aficionados will find things to like ... but overall the Halloween series has lost its edge.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10

Much of the cast is stiff or just plain bad.

| Original Score: 1/5

While this is neither the first nor last time that will be the case, it is time to hang, gun down or lop off the head of this ugly cinematic series once and for all.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/10

Halloween: Resurrection isn't exactly quality cinema, but it isn't nearly as terrible as it cold have been.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

" . . . the latest in the Michael Myers series is flat, unfunny and less frightening than a Vanilla Ice comeback album."

Full Review

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.

| Original Score: 2/4

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.

| Original Score: 3/5

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

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4

This latest installment of the horror film franchise that is apparently as invulnerable as its trademark villain has arrived for an incongruous summer playoff, demonstrating yet again that the era of the intelligent, well-made B movie is long gone.
