...which are just laughable now, Halloween is still terrifying to people who have never seen it. It starred Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, a teenage babysitter who is for some reason being stalked by this masked maniac. It all comes to a soaring finale where Michael Myers (the masked maniac) is shot 6 times but still manages to get up and walk away...
It was only a matter of time before a sequel was called for after the originals success and Halloween ...

Advantages: Original enough to be interesting Disadvantages: Serial killers are so not fashionable any more
...I found myself quite enjoying Halloween Resurrection, which had just enough new ideas and sparkle to convince me that it was worth making.
In the last instalment of the Michael Myers series, we watched his sister decapitate him at the roadside when she finally realised that he was beyond redemption. At the start of Resurrection we find out that she has been confined to a mental institution on the basis that she is completely insane. It transpires ...

Advantages: Amazingly brings some new ideas to the series, quite intriguing for an hour, second best in the series Disadvantages: slasher movies are so...'80s', blood and gore seems somewhat minimal, does the world need more of these movies?
...more pain in yet another Halloween movie! I shelled out to see Jason X earlier in the year , stupid I know, but having seen the other 1,835 movies in the Friday The 13th franchise it seemed silly not to see the latest as well. I'm afraid I saw this one under the same principle and yes, if they make another Critters movie I'll see that, or another Leprecaun one and so on. That said, I was actually quite entertained by it...
Umm to qualify that ...

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 ...

...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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

...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 ...
