realityinmind This is definitely the worst movie in the series (yes, worst that Zombie's sequel). The plot is ridiculous -- it takes place in the Myers' condemned house with no electricity (hello city regulations?), the actors are obsessed with sex like they are in a campy movie -- the girl gets naked in the dirty a$$ basement before dead bodies fall all over her (Halloween is NOT Friday the 13th), and the worst aspect of it all is the editing. All throughout this movie the film is randomly slowed down. Why? Michael is walking too fast..... press the slow motion button. Jamie Lee Curtis is falling too fast.... press the slow motion button. Randomly things just slow down for a few seconds here and there all throughout the movie yet the film format can't handle these slow-motion effects, so every time it is slowed down the film becomes blurry. It is horribly distracting, all because the director couldn't direct the guy who played Michael to simply walk slower. Jamie Lee Curtis didn't want to be in this movie as she keeps trying to kill herself off in all the horrible remakes but Moustapha Akkad just won't let her! (Though it is relieving to know that Danny McBride is helping with the new movie, and clearly that is enough to get Jamie Lee Curtis back on board one last time).I did like Busta Rhymes though... he is a good versatile rapper slash actor.And I am glad they finally got rid of that whole Thorn thing. It was a horrible mistake that was forced into the franchise for no reason (look up the history of how that happened).

cheighlee Incomprehensible mess.Casting is atrocious.Plot is atrocious.Acting is atrocious.It's shot beyond atrocious.An abortion and a failure of a movie on all ends.Movie latches onto H20 and rewrites the ending of it, kills Laurie Strode in first 10 mins and then serves us two plotlines with hollow characters and even worse plot.Plot number one - some college kids get to do live stream with Busta and Tyra Banks from Myers house. Why? We don't know.Parallel plot number two - some highscoohler that text messages main character from plot number one, they don't share any screentime except few texts and emails.Nothing works in this movie, and you can even see it with you eyes right away. Probably the worst decision is that they thought it would be cool and edgy to use actual crap handy cams to shot main characters POV portions of the movie. It looks disgusting.Busta can't act.Others too.Only cool thing is when Michael Myers lops Katee Sackhoff's head in one swoosh with a knife. That was brutal. Everything else:ABOMINABLE!Easily the worst Halloween movie.

Nick Duguay I fully understand all of the negative reviews but in my opinion Halloween: Resurrection is, in fact, one of the better editions to the series. Halloween took a quick dive after the first sequel, the third film in the series being nearly unrelated to the rest (not that I hated it- in fact I quite enjoyed it), and then the fourth, fifth and sixth being particularly bad films on their own right, even disregarding the understandable shadow of their origin material. Halloween has always had a troubled and rocky journey as one of the big grossing horror franchises to come out of the time period along with A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th. In my humble opinion, this, the eighth film in the series, does what none of the others did- bring a lighthearted campiness to the series. Halloween H20, the preceding sequel, was inordinately well done and quite unexpected, but I think that by the time you reach the 8th film in the series you're expecting little other than some laughs, corniness and maybe a few new and exciting kills. This is what worked so well for Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street, but what Halloween had refused to do. All throughout the series, Halloween obstinately stuck to an atmosphere of seriousness, always giving us a straightforward story, never being jovial or satirical until now. This movie may not be the best- the characters can be quite forgettable, the story line is mediocre at best, and the found footage cuts are of low quality and therefore unenjoyable to see on screen. Despite all of this I think that Halloween: Resurrection far surpasses much of the other trash to come from this franchise. And it has Busta Rhymes in it. By the time you reach the eighth film of a horror series what more could you realistically ask for?

Leofwine_draca It comes as little surprise that HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION was the last film in the long-running HALLOWEEN series (except for the new Rob Zombie 're-imaginings'). It's a real stinker of a movie, totally devoid of any kind of originality and playing out its storyline with an inane mix of seriousness and goofiness, never really working as a straight film or a spoof. It's heavily indebted to two films: SCREAM, what with the self referencing and the self-aware nature of the hidden cameras, internet webcams etc., and THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, with lots of mock-grainy video camera footage used in an attempt at atmospheric scares.HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION begins in a totally unacceptable way: by killing Jamie Lee Curtis' character, Laurie Strode. Apparently, Curtis only agreed to appear if she would be killed off, so the scriptwriter decided to have her do something extremely stupid (and anybody who knows her character, especially from the first film, would know that she would never do something this crazy). Once that unpleasantness is out of the way, we're back into the predictable teen slasher mould, with a bunch of teenagers hooked up in the Myers house, having sex and smoking drugs until Myers himself turns up to bump them off. This film tries to update the plot into the internet age, so characters use palm-top computers and communicate online rather in real life, although oddly nobody seems to use a mobile phone much. It's all rather pointless.The stalk 'n' slash sequences are amusing rather than frightening, and the cheesy gore effects are just that: all effect, all put on, without any impact. There's also one of the dumbest-looking severed head gags I've seen in a movie. The teen cast is pretty awful, with the ladies particularly ill-represented. Bianca Kajlich is an uninteresting heroine, and the rest of the girls are either bimbos or, in the worst case, Tyra Banks. Not that the guys fare much better: the two familiar cast members are American PIE's Thomas Ian Nicholas (he's offed quickly in a gag ripped from HOUSE) and black rapper Busta Rhymes, whose kung fu schtick come the climax is frankly embarrassing. This time around, Myers isn't in the least bit frightening, and he's played by a stuntman who should have stuck to doing stunts rather than trying to act menacing. The only decent thing about this film is the classic HALLOWEEN music, and even that was better in the original.
