Halloween: Resurrection rated R for strong violence, language, some sexuality, and brief drug use *contains spoilers*



Three years after the events in H20, Michael Myers (played by Brad Loree)  confronts a broken Laurie Strode (played by Brad Jamie Lee Curtis).   After that confrontation Michael Myers is sent back to Smith's Grove only to escape once again to make his way to Haddonfield.  A reality film crew headed by Freddie Harris (played by Busta Rhymes) is filming in the old Myers house.  The film crew get more than they bargained for when Michael Myers shows up.


Like H20, this film ignores films 4 through 6.  They also seem to have forgotten the fact that Michael Myers was killed in the previous movie.  The shoddy explanation given for why Michael Myers is still inexplicably alive is just stupid and insulting to the audience.  This film is shown even less than Halloween 6.  Gee, I wonder why?

Two good parts in this film are intentionally comedic but they aren't good enough to win fans over of the franchise.  There's one funny part where Michael Myers activates a car alarm.  The second funny part was when Freddie admonishes Michael for "showing up too soon" and tells him to go back to set up what is intended to be a scare while failing to realize that the Michael Myers that he is talking to is the real Michael not his paid actor.

Skip this one.
