Review of Halloween: Resurrection (2002) by Jennifer B — 04 Sep 2010

The only reason I saw this film was because the two Halloween films I had seen before were Halloween and H20, both had Jamie Lee Curtis in them. And most covers showed Jamie Lee Curtis in them, so I saw it, and yes, indeed, she was in it.......for the first 10 minutes until she finally gets killed.Sucked she never shows up for the rest of the film. But continuing with the story, it all actually starts out pretty well, and you can't keep your eyes off of the television [Michael is just too cool], but then it slowly gets boring until you finally have had enough. The main story is about some people who are going to film being inside the Myer's original residence and film it to be shown on the internet. What they don't know is Michael hasn't died [in a flashback revealing from H20 that the person she killed was actually an unlucky paramedic.

Each character has a video camera on a boom attached to their head, and they seem to forget that as they engage in physical love and eventually smoke acid, all the while it is occuring on the internet. This is one of those movies that you do not care about the characters at all, and the only entertaining part of the movie is when they get graphyically killed. And how they get killed in this one is great, including many borrowed from the first Halloween movie. And eventually, Busta Rhymes ruins the whole thing using kung-fu on Michael and spouting the worst cliched dialogue in the world, dropping the f bomb in the worst ways. It may have worked for a 70's action movie, but for a 90's horror movie, it doesn't.

Don't even get me started on the annoying cutaways from the fuzzy head-cam to the actual film. Honestly, I advise you not to see this one, unless you want to see Michael kill people, which is honestly fine.
