The Halloween movies in the 2000s suck but this is the laughable in the series. Bad acting, bad story telling, weak premise, annoying characters and pointless! This is not the worst in the series but they try? Yes they did and I give props about that. I think busta rhymes in the movie is funny, Katee Sackhoff character is annoying to me. I show this movie to a friend of mine and he like it. And yeah I do respect his opinion. Not the worse but they tried

When I originally saw this film in 2002 I didn't mind it...at the time that is.After repeat viewings I completely see why so many hated this pointless entry into the franchise.This movie makes no sense and stands behind the most hilariously ludicrous nonsensical,and idiotic, explanation as to why Jamie Lee Curtis strode is in a mental institution at the beginning of the film.At the time I didn't mind the heroine but now again I see why so many hated her especially knowing in a deleted scene that she wound up saving one of the most obnoxious characters ever written to screen.The characters have no personalities two are pot heads,one is a pathetic dark goth like character,one screams at the drop of a hat and it gets tiring very quickly,one is a girl that seems to show self respect yet turns out to be a nympho,and lastly the boring stereotypical boyfriend that is constantly horny.Don't get me started on Banks and Rhymes either both are throwaway characters and Rhymes is instantly obnoxious,extremely unlike able,and you just...want...him..to..die quickly.I like Tyra personally however she wasn't given barely anything to do in this film,isn't on screen long,and essentially serves as another stupid soon to be victim for Myers.Myers was also boring and the actor playing him didn't really make much effort he wasn't scary not even the mask was scary the entire movie looked cheap and generic.The deaths are predictable and not that good,the jump scares are also predictable,as is who will survive,as is the tired twist ending that was utterly laughable.Oh yeah and the "teens" in the film especially the two guys trying to help on webcam to save victims in the house you...simply...want...to...DIE.The writers of this film took a perfect opportunity to allow Michael to slice and dice a room full of extremely bad,overacting,and obnoxious teenagers and completely squandered it.Lastly the webcam was truly distracting as well as obnoxious it ruined any ounce of suspense that there could have been.Flat out this movie sucked it is not scary,not interesting,very boring,and worst offense of them all they killed the most beloved horror heroine of this franchise at the beginning of this film.

I watched this five years ago. I was told there was no point in seeing it. No good characters, no good kills and not even a good plot. Not even the most rudimentary sense of good and bad, tasteless and tasteful. I saw this 10 year old film, with this bland, dull, plain cover and the worst acting-Busta Rhymes acting. I spent two years trying to love this movie, and another three trying to keep this on the shelf because I realized what was in that VHS slip case was purely and simply...schlock.

In Halloween: H20, Michael successfully tracks down his biggest adversary and opponent, his own sister Laurie Strode and the two go head to head in a battle of wits resulting in Laurie walking away the victor when she faces the fear of her brother and kills him with a swift axe blow to the head, decapitating him; a fitting and epic ending for an iconic horror villain and beloved horror heroine.So then, how is it that Halloween: Resurrection exists?Well, it turns out none of the above actually happened.No, it turns out that Michael switched places with a paramedic at the scene of his murderous rampage, crushed his larynx so the man couldn't speak and walked away undetected. Overcome with guilt at murdering an innocent man, Laurie is subsequently committed to a mental institution where she patiently waits for Michael to find her again, which he inevitably does.Laurie manages to trap Michael on the roof of the institution but terrified of killing the wrong person again, she falters at dealing the final blow and Michael is able to exploit her moment of vulnerability to stab and throw her off the roof to her death; a feeble ending to her character in stark contrast to the triumphant ending at the conclusion of the last movie.With Laurie finally dead, Michael is free to return to Haddonfield, where he lives under the foundations of his old, abandoned childhood home - presumably to live the rest of his life in peace.Unfortunately for Michael, a reality TV producer (Busta Rhymes) has commissioned a live internet broadcast to take place on Halloween night inside the Myers house, where a group of college students agree to be filmed spending the night at the scene of Michael's first murder as a child, completely unaware that the man himself still lives there. Cue a new murder spree, broadcast live on the internet to an unsuspecting audience not realising that they are witnessing real - as opposed to scripted - deaths.This film is entirely pointless, and yet I can completely understand why it exists. Made in 2002, reality TV and the internet were still relatively new and innovative commodities that hadn't been used a lot in horror movies at that point. In fact, one of my favourite (and arguably, best) parts of the movie is where the main heroine, Sara, receives instructions of Michael's whereabouts in the house on her palm pilot via her friend watching the broadcast on the outside world.I feel as though the script would've fared better as an individual horror movie, not as part of the Halloween series. The retconning of the events of the previous movie and opening sequence with Laurie feels forced and Michael could've been replaced with a new horror villain and serial killer. After all, no-one wants to see their favourite horror icon karate chopped through a window by Busta Rhymes. Yes, really.
