After H20 ended things rather nicely, they had to get greedy and throw another log on the fire. And by log, I do mean shit.

In horror franchise tradition, instead of leaving well enough alone, or $$$-forbid trying something different, "Halloween" returns with another Michael Myers sequel, but this one has a gimmick. However in Rick Rosenthal/"Halloween" tradition, the movie feels extra generic and dated. While not as bad as I remember, the heavy cliched early 00's horror feel, in addition to the "reality" internet show gimmick, make Busta Rhymes more of a saving grace than a determinant in this forgettable slasher.

So absolutely terrible you can watch it on fast forward and still receive the full impact the film has to offer. It's not scary, it's not entertaining, it's got absolutely no positive aspects whatsoever. Give this a miss, even if you are a fan of the Halloween series.

Let me put it this way: I've watched eight Halloween movies of extremely varying quality over the last couple weeks - a few of them already godawful - and this movie still somehow manages to fit nine of the series ten worst/dumbest moments into its brief runtime. Literally the only compliment I can muster is that, unlike H20, it contains boobs.

The best thing about this movie is that half of it is filmed through turn-of-the-millennium webcams so you're mercifully unable to see what's going on.

Bait & switch would be an understatement. Surely many fans who saw this in the theaters wanted their money back. Having delivered a successful & thrilling series finale in the previous film, it's no surprise that the mercenary producers would come back for more cash. Unfortunately they do it in the worst possible way by not only undoing Laurie's victory, but turning it into a criminal mistake on her part. & then... Better to leave Curtis out of this. Then it would confine its awfulness to itself

I don't understand why anyone would enjoy watching a reality show of some young adults touring Michael Myers' old house. Like, it's not that big. There's only so much exploration they could do. Then what? Okay, so that is reason 1 why I do not like this film. Let me now continue with reason 2...

Why should I care about a film no one else did? I mean, they're back in Haddonfield, but they didn't even bother trying to solve the autumn problem (failure of any Illinois-set Halloween film to actually look like it's taking place in the Midwestern fall) despite having the budget and technology to do so. It doesn't even look cold, which was how past films got around the problem. That lack of attention was just one piece of evidence in the case of this film's corporate cynicism.

In every aspect of film making this movie does a terrible job: ridiculous story and characters, horrible acting, boring cinematography and so on... What makes this worse than just a 'bad movie' is that they decided to terribly fuck up some of the basic principles of the Halloween franchise, even ruining it for the die hard fans (i'm not counting myself one of them) who managed to sit through until this eighth (!!!) installment.

So aggressively 2002 in all of its reality TV infancy, Rosenthal's second go-around isn't very successful. Arguably the worst of the franchise, the film can barely be considered a Michael Myers property after the decent, but completely at odds with the rest of the film, cold opening. Busta Rhymes...never mind it's all been said.

The HALLOWEEN franchise’s answer to JASON GOES TO HELL – it's dead weight from the start (how much did Curtis get paid for her entirely redundant appearance?) – a sinking feeling of desperation soon sets in that Myers was whored out to give an otherwise worthless slasher script some marquee value – as evil as Myers is, he doesn’t deserve to be the subject of this cringy, dated “trendy†nightmare – giving the second half over to largely jittery webcam footage makes it even uglier to look at. Ugh.

Definitely the worst in the franchise, but the way people shat on this movie, it actually didn't feel as horrible as it could have been. The characters are nothing but fodder, and the kills are super lazy, a first for the series, but it's fun in its own silly way. Fuck the plot, though.

This truly is rock bottom for the saga. They've eventually managed to turn the menacing cinematic legend of Michael Myers into a boring, below-par teen slasher film that just isn't scary at all, instead moving without fail from one cringy, facepalm-inducing moment to the next. It's eye-popping how badly directed it is, plot, characters, dialogues and development are all carelessly written and there are no redeeming qualities whatsoever. It's not "so campy it's cult", it just sucks donkey balls.

As one of the biggest fans of John Carpenter's Halloween, this is without doubt as absolutely offensive as it gets. This was directed by Rick Rosenthal, who struggled with the first sequel back in '81. He has clearly learnt NOTHING in the years since. The casting of crap rapper Busta Rhymes should tell you ALL you need to know about this sham of a movie, that also wastes Jamie Lee Curtis and has some of the lamest supporting characters I have seen in a horror film. There is also no plot. AVOID!!

H20 restored a bit of dignity to Halloween. But then, one sequel later, it falls right back down to the bottom of the barrel. In its desperate attempt to continue the series, Resurrection retcons and utterly destroys H20's likable ending. It then follows a cast of new characters, all of which are bad. The movie's story about a reality show in the Myers' house is laughably bad, and as a whole, it's full of holes. Finally, the ending does a great job representing just how far Halloween has fallen.

"Halloween: Resurrection" is more "Halloween", but worse, as can be said for most every sequel to the original. All that can be measured is which ones are worse than each other, and "Resurrection" takes the cake outright. Undoing the stellar ending of "H20" by literal contractual obligation, and doing away with Laurie Strode for the second time are the least of the films worries. NOTHING. WORKS. Not one scene, not one scare, not one character. NOTHING. Why even bother? You've seen it all before.

Worthless, a waste of film, starts with the tragic, offensive slaughter of eternal survivor Laurie Strode and continues with a cast full of unlikeable nobodies, desperate-to-be-hip references to the internet and reality tv and Busta Rhymes embarrassing himself.

What little merit the previous sequel (H2O) has, is done away with within the first 10 minutes of this terribly boring instalment, that only gets points for being unintentionally ironically named "resurrection" when it was the one that finally put the nail in the Myers coffin. (until the remakes, that is)

I get the concept might have been cool: a haunted house experience but with the real Myers chasing you. Unfortunately, it is done horribly here and the entire cast is annoying. The 'final girl' is the least irritating one, but just doesn't have the charisma to make the cut. They wanted to make Busta Rhymes into an action hero who kung-fu kicks Myers out of the window. Just a botched concept with zero thrills. The early 2000s sure were a TIME.

I'm relieved that in this installment, Michael finally acts like himself again. However, it's disheartening to see that they've severed the core roots of the series. The standout moment was undoubtedly the Laurie scene at the start. It's a shame that both H20 and Resurrection have strayed so far from the original plot centered around Loomis and the enduring legend. Now it feels like just another run-of-the-mill horror flick, with college kids facing off against the antagonist and defeat him.

As a shitty teen slasher its not that bad but as a Halloween film its just awful. The first ten minutes are by far the best part of the film but even that doesn't quite work. The rest of the film seems to be a completely different movie with a completely different Michael and that's the biggest problem with this while movie. The Michael Myers character is different, weaker, dumber, and more generic. Also Busta Rhymes is a terrible terrible actor.

Rosenthal's return resulted in a very poor and dated cash in on reality TV trends of the time in a desperate attempt to remain relevant to the young generation of the early 00's. It could perhaps be charitably called a 'betrayal' if it weren't for the fact that the producers of this series have never really cared about continuity, integrity or even quality. It is the worst Halloween film along with Ends, and that's saying something.

The plot could not be more stupid, or the characters more one-dimensional. Michael Myers remains the least effective horror device ever to grace the screen. Yet somehow, on some base level, the simplistic predator-prey farce at the core of this film actually works a little. There are a couple of jumps and a couple of thrills, some gore and minor laughs. Apart from that, of course, the whole entity stinks and should be steered well clear of.

Eh, it follows the formula. Nothing really new or exciting here. If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the film. Busta Rhymes manages to be more annoying than LL Cool J was in H20, the main character was weak at best, and the kills (save maybe one) were fairly unimaginative. Only a film for those wishing to be thorough with the series.

Top badass moment? It was great to see a chainsaw finally make an appearance in the franchise, but oh dear, no PPE, at all. And starting it in a very confined space? To be honest I was actually amazed it started at all, considering its condition and the likely age of the petrol in it. Michael's boiler suit also seemed remarkably armoured too. (I wonder were he get's them washed, as he always looks so clean and well turned out.) 3 decapitations (though 1 isn't new), 1 chainsaw and no cats.

First re-watch since it came out and I was shocked to see that it was slightly better than I remembered. The reality TV/internet special setting gives it a poor staring point, and the early 00's tech looks goofy, but there were actually more scenes taking place outside the house than I thought, and some of those are quite nicely done. Characters are not interesting and especially Busta Rhymes with his kung fu and one-liners feels out of place. I'd still probably rank this above parts 5 and 6.
