Halloween - Resurrection (DVD) > Reviews

Advantages: New ideas | Jamie Lee Curtis
Disadvantages: Not developed enough | Not too scary

...just in time for the Halloween season of 2002. Resurrection had a bumpy ride getting to our cinemas. After the rather unexpected success of H20, the planned final film, Dimension decided to raise the knife once again and a sequel was soon green lit. It seems that studios just don’t know when to stop when they see the opportunity for more money to come their way. That was in 1999. From then on it’s been subject to more cuts, edits and name changes ... Read review

Advantages: classic slasher flick
Disadvantages: cheesy, poor acting, predictable. Classic slasher flick.

...7th sequel to Halloween. Halloween number 8. Halloween Resurrection. Quite aptly on Halloween. Firstly, I will just say that I have not seen all the Halloween movies. In fact until last night, I had only seen the original, which is superb. After a short intro sequence explaining why Mike Myers can still be alive after clearly having his head cut off and the death, (yes you read right, death) of Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), this film turns ...

Advantages: Myers is kept in the shadows and is once again fear-inducing, great death scenes, watchable acting.
Disadvantages: If you don't like Horror films, those flaws plague this movie as well.

...formulaic; I wouldn't take a Halloween film any other way. The same can be said about the simple albeit ridiculous plot. Apparently Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) decapitated the wrong man in "H20" as Michael had the bright idea to switch looks with an EMT. While investigating his corpse, Michael suddenly sprang back to life, crushed the EMT's larynx, and disguised him as our family-obsessed serial killer. The excuse utilized to bring Michael back may ... Read review

Advantages: It's a lesson wo how not to make a film
Disadvantages: Terrible direction, poor characters, no scares, tired franchise

...a possible franchise. Five more Halloween films followed, each of them never coming close to the original, however they still had some enjoyment in them. Then in 1998, Jamie Lee Curtis was enticed to reprise her role when teen slashers were the in thing. Halloween H20 turned out to be a decent film which was well shot, well acted, very tightly paced and generally delivered everything you’d want in a good horror film. Above all else it appeared ...

Advantages: Jamie Lee what can i say
Disadvantages: Busta Rymes

OK so erm …. Why Halloween Resurrection? That may be my only question. As you know I love my horror and Halloween is considered highly in my favourites, but to be honest I didn't like this one to much. After Halloween H2O I thought that was a great way to end the Halloween, BUT NO! And you never guess what there are plans on making more Halloweens. After the Oh My God ending in Halloween H2O, who could of thought that yet again Michael Myers ... Read review

Advantages: none at all
Disadvantages: littered with plotholes

...doubt. This is the 1st Halloween film to end showing us Myers is still alive. Every other film has either shown him dead or locked away or impossibly trapped. This film was dire. (this review also appears on dooyoo) ... Read review

Advantages: Some good scares
Disadvantages: Some weak characters

...that H20 had revitialising the Halloween franchise there was no doubt that it wouldn't be the last we would see of Michael Myers. The question was how they would do it after Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) decapitated her brother at the end of the aforenamed film. This film begins two years after the previous film and Laurie lives in a world of her own locked up in Smiths Grove Sanitarium. She has no contact with the outside world, and speaks ... Read review

Advantages: engaging and is quite scary, nice storyline
Disadvantages: the series had ended here

Halloween Resurrection is the last installment in the Halloween franchise. Despite the Halloween remake in 2007, this is the last part of Halloween which has not been continued. The end is here because Laurie is no longer alive which shocked me. At the beginning of the film, I thought Laurie would have a chance to kill Michael Myers when he was hung by the rope but tables had turned and the opposite happened. I was so shocked when I saw Laurie fall ... Read review
