Review of Halloween: Resurrection (2002) by Rj M — 28 Jun 2008
Director Rick "Halloween II" Rosenthal returns to the series, and brings Halloween into the internet age. Several college students take part in a reality webcast and investigate the old Myers House, to determine if it is haunted, or if Michael is still there somewhere.
Jamie Lee Curtis returns in a small role to bring her characters story arc to a close. From there the movie moves on to take place almost entirely inside the Myers house. It's a great set, and the filmmakers went to great lengths to match the look of the house from the original.
There are some real good scares here, and a great sequence involving a person watching the the webcast trying to warn one of the investigators thru her PDA that Michael is stalking her inside the house.
Where the movie is a letdown is in some of its characters. In a movie like this, you can't expect a bunch of thespians emoting Shakespeare. While Busta Rhymes doesn't sink the movie, it doesn't help when he's allowed to do his "gangsta" thing just a make the audience laugh, and his kung-fu attack on Michael toward the end is cringe inducing.
That stuff not withstanding, this is a good entry in the Halloween series.
