Certainly better than some of the awful films this series has produced along the way, but still a kick in the face to everything Carpenter was trying to accomplish with the original. This time we have the director of Halloween II back at the helm (Rick Rosenthal, the first person... read more

Freddie Harris: Michael Myers is a killer shark. In baggy ass overalls who gets his kicks from killing everyone and everything he comes across.
"Michael's work in Haddonfield is not done yet."
Not only is Halloween: Resurrection the second worst film in the franchise, and the ... read more -

Well this wasn't very fun at all. It's nowhere near as bad as Halloween 6.....but it sure can compete with Halloween 2. The beginning part with Jamie Lee Curtis was just stupid. And there was a lot of bad actors....especially Busta Rhymes...Although I have to admit...he did deliv... read more

Why even bother to make another Halloween film? To make more money, that's why. This is the worst sequel in the series since the third entry. It's totally pointless to have this sequel, H20 was a find ending chapter in the legendary series, but with this, they totally killed it. ... read more

Halloween: Resurrection is the second weakest of the series, and that's only because Busta Rhymes ruins it. It's like he makes a mockery of this film. He's corny and too over the top. He also knows karate. But still, other than Busta Rhymes, this is a great movie. I wish his char... read more

This ruined the series for me. No wait, let me make that KILLED it for me. I thought 4, 5, and 6 were bad, but this is proof that you can do worse than those three films.

Could write an essay on what is wrong with this film. I won?t though as it can be summed up in one word. Crap.

The only Halloween movie I never seen in the theaters. People told me to stay away but I had to see "Resurrection". I had to see it, to see how the writers would get round the "oops, we decapitated him at the end of the last one...".... and to be nice it was hard to stop laughin... read more

Busta Rhymes? Tyra Banks? And shame on you Jamie Lee, Laurie's character should never had appeared in this turgid flop. Once again, the Akkads prove that they have no idea what they're doing.
Critic Reviews
While the production values here are more cool than crappy, there's nothing really new about Resurrection. Full Review
A cheesy thing that opened Friday without any advance screening. Full Review
Spectators will indeed sit open-mouthed before the screen, not screaming but yawning. Full Review
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.
Generic slasher-movie nonsense, but it's not without style. Full Review
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
There's no evidence of craftsmanship or energy. Everything, from the plot to the execution, is plodding and obligatory. Full Review
It's so devoid of joy and energy it makes even Jason X ... look positively Shakesperean by comparison.
