Tue Jan 13 2009Five years has passed since "Halloween H2O, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) has been insitutionalized for thought that she murdered her brother Michael Myers in the last movie when it was actually the wrong man. He is still on the loose and she confronts him for one last time, but now back in Haddonfield where he lives there is this Web producer named Freddie Harris (Busta Rhymes) with girlfriend (Tyra Banks) are coming up with an ideal WebTV reality program for halloween. They make a program called Dangertainment where they hire college students (Sean Patrick Thomas, Thomas Ian Nichols, Luke Kirby, Bill Kay, Ryan Merimann, Katee Sackhoff, Bianca Kajlich, Daisy McKracken) particapte in this project as they wire cameras and film in the Myers home. However Michael has returned home as he kills anyone to set foot on his property as he terrorizes them. The worst movie of the franchise! some say it's part 3 but "Halloween 3: Season of the Witch" was an experiment to turn the franchise i... Read more

Wed Nov 26 2008I think what bugs me the most about the film is just how terribly made it is. Even forgetting the Gaping plot holes, there are loads of obvious continuity errors and a sad, desperate style of direction that seems to drag every scene to the point of agony in a desperate attempt to pad out the already-short running time of the film. The cast do nothing to help things - all the characters are cardboard stereotypes and the ugly, plastic teens seem to be having a battle to see who can be the most skin-crawlingly irritating. I think it ends up as a tie between Katee Sachoff's hyperactive, squeaky airhead and Bianca Kajlich's jitterbug 'heroine', who spends the entire movie simpering and screaming loudly every time someone drops a pin. Oh, for the record, Busta Rhymes is absolutely ATROCIOUS in this. His entire purpose in this movie seems to be to deliver the worst examples of wisecrack-by-numbers dialogue I've ever heard (ie: "Trick or treat, motherf**ker?") and he plays his role as a cross ...

Fri Oct 31 2008HAPPY THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY, MICHAEL MYERS!!! "Halloween: Resurrection" is the best sequel since "Halloween II." It is everything a slasher flick should be: attractive young coeds in peril; an abandoned house; unique death sequences (Jen's beheading was excellent - loved it when the head bounced down the stairs); an eerie soundtrack; dark humor; tension galore; and a beautiful female lead who, towards the end, runs screaming through corridors and up and down stairs while discovering dead bodies. It is very reminiscent of the slasher films that I loved to watch in the eighties. Jamie Lee Curtis, scream queen of the eighties, briefly reprises her role as Laurie Strode. We learn that she has been locked away in a psychiatric hospital for three years. She is emotionally traumatized from beheading a paramedic who was wearing Michael's mask. Unfortunately, Michael breaks into the hospital on Halloween eve. Pursuing Laurie to the roof, he stabs her, causing her to fall... Read more

Wed Oct 29 2008Let me start out by saying that Halloween III:Season of the Witch, is better then Resurrection. I guess where most of you know where I am going to go with this review. For some reason, this has been the only Halloween Movie that I have missed in the Franchise(except the remake), and since I have been watching them in order, I was kinda of looking forward to this. Mind you that H20 had huge plot holes and was slow moving, I was still wondering how they were going to make a sequel to it, since those that saw the end of H20 know what I mean. What we get in the beginning of Resurrection gives us some answears to H20's ending, but that is about the only good part of the movie. From there we get a comedy of horrors that has nothing that works for it. There isn't one scary part in the whole movie, no suspense, nothing, not even any shock value cause the films special effects look like they are about thrity years dated! What we do get is a MTV based video or reality show, that has Busta Rhymes... Read more

Sun Sep 14 2008In 1978 John Carpenter released one of the greatest horror movies in the form of Halloween. It's first sequel was okay but after that the series went downhill. It seems that every sequel would have a new backstory on Mr.Meyers and this is one is no execpation. I think the producers made a mistake by killing of Jamie Lee Curtis. Mrs.Curtis is what Halloween is about and only she can stop Meyers. I think the producers should have brought in Josh Hartnett 7 Danielle Harris together since techinally they are siblings if you tie all the loose ends together. Halloween: Resurrection isn't scary but it's funny which isn't a good thing. Busta Rhymes makes the movie as Freddie Harris with his one-liners and the chicks in the movie are very hot. The film will disapoint hard core fans of the movie and those in the mood for a scare. The film might be better in my book if Bianca Kajlich had shown her knockers but all in all the film is just a gulity pleasure. The death scenes are okay and the chicks... Read more

Fri Apr 21 2006Absolutly horrendous. Sunk to one of the lowest levels I've ever seen. The language even got real annoying (using the f-word every other word).

Sun Mar 28 2004Entertaining and fun, but not scary in the least bit. It is clearly the worst film of the series (except for Halloween 3) and was clearly just an ill-fated attempt to make some money off the series. The first 20 minutes were decent, but it all went downhill from there.

Sat Jun 21 2003After Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is killed in the first 10 minutes of the movie, (OK I cried), the rest of the movie plodded along and made no sense whatever. Since Micheal Myers is way older than me...perhaps it's time to *put him out to pasture*

Sat Feb 08 2003This movie was actually a lot better than most of the series'. Its different becuse Myers isnt hunting Lee Curtis anymore. She ends up being killed by him in the first five minutes of the movie.

Thu Jan 30 2003Despite a fun, campy screenplay and great ensemble cast, the film doesn't really work as well as the others, and almost works itself as a parody. Mesmerizing performance from Tyra Banks who deserves more screen time.
