Look-at-these:...

Pros: Not a single solitary thing...
Cons: Read on.

Back in the golden days of my youth, well before I discovered my passion for European horror, I was a slasher film fan. I grew up on the slashers—and John Carpenter’s Halloween had the distinction of being my favorite slasher film for a...

Pros: Well-shot; creepy imagery; not horribly acted overall
Cons: Busta Rhymes; weak soundtrack; "street" influenced; Internet/reality TV themes

My wife and I have been horror fans for as long as we can both remember. Though I was only seven (my wife, six) when the original Halloween premiered back in 1978, we can still remember the coming attractions on television. It went on to become the...

Pros: I liked the use of cameras.
Cons: Deaths were a dud, destroyed H20.

I count myself among the few that actually liked Halloween: H20 the precursor to Halloween Resurrection. Like good typical horror slasher films it kept its length to a minimum but it’s body count high. And, besides the fact that...

Pros: It finally shows Michael’s emotions
Cons: Like a reality TV show, this movie sucks

Halloween 8: Resurrection Starring Busta Rhymes, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Jamie Lee Cur ...

Pros: Some acting, special effects
Cons: Stupid, not scary, doesn't make sense, whole plot, predictable, dumb direction style

The Halloween movies are my favourite horror movie series. The first one was incredible. The second and third were also really good. In fact, the only Halloween film I really disliked before I saw Halloween Resurrection was ...

Pros: decent t and a (oh like there's some other reason to watch slasher sequels)
Cons: death scenes pretty uncreative, not especially gory. (oh like you watch for premise or something)

How easy it is to be a Penrose J. Filmsnob regarding such fare as Halloween Resurrection. Sure Halloween Resurrection isn't a Bergman film, it's not even a decent substitute for a couple of Happy Meals. At least those give you the pleasure of a lingering...

Pros: Scary, good mask, great music, interesting premise, and new possibilities.
Cons: Strays from plot, runs short, cameras are not used very effectively.

People are generally bias to any movie that is the eighth entry into a series unless it is "James Bond" or "Star Trek." In most cases, those people are correct in being cynical.

I, myself, was not gearing myself up for a great movie when I...

Pros: "...the first Halloween in years that captures the spellbinding spirit of the first two films."
Cons: Laurie Strode does not have a big enough role. Freddie is an irritating stereotype.

The "Halloween" series of films opened with a bang with "Halloween" and "Halloween 2," but then began to dwindle with sorry sequels, including "Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers," in which an eight-year-old girl emulates Michael Myers killings,...

Pros: theme music
Cons: acting, actors, characters, plot,

Now up to the 8th installment, the Halloween series is trying to catch up to the 10 movies of the Friday the 13th series. In both Jason X and Halloween Resurrection, their trademark theme song paced the soundtrack but that is the only thing really worth...

Pros: Decent acting, good scares, a surprise at the beginning.
Cons: Bad script, lighting could have been better done.

The Halloween series certainly has evolved over the years. From Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) fighting her way out of a closet in the original Halloween to Laurie Strode fighting her way out of a mental institution in Halloween: Resurrection.
...

Pros: Musical Score, Jamie Lee Curtis
Cons: About everything else...

Starring Bianca Kajilich as Sara Moyer Busta Rhymes as Freddie Harris Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode Sean Patrick Thomas as Rudy Ryan Merriman as Myles Thomas Ian Nicholas as Bill Katee Sachoff as Jen Tyra Banks as Nora Daisy McCrackin as ...

Pros: Terrifying opening act, Jamie Lee Curtis, stylish, suspenseful, theme music
Cons: Predictability, Busta Rhymes's stereotypical character, overemphasis on reality theme

It remains a mystery as to why the horror genre has been so successful. Most attempts to make a good horror film fail miserably, and the ones that are actually worth something become debased by the countless awful sequels. Halloween is no...

Pros: Jamie Lee Curtis, the opening scene.
Cons: Simply everything else...

Sorry about that title, now you already know that 'Halloween killer' Michael Myers doesn't die in this film. That's a spoiler? , hell no. There's not much to spoil here, with material as bad as 'Halloween: Resurrection.' 5 years ago, Halloween H20(1998 ...

Pros: great slasher action and suspense still there with great dialogue and humor
Cons: not as good as the others

"Halloween: Resurrection" may not be the rest of the series, but it is still a good underrated sequel that is worth checking out. Michael Meyers returns with another slasher thrill-ride. There are also plenty of great graphics, suspense, action, and...

Pros: originality of sorts, new twists
Cons: a bit off the usual storyline

Halloween Resurrection

It was good to sit down in a theater to watch what I thought would be a dead twist to an old series.

You know what I'm talking about. You gear yourself up to go see just another piece in the...

Pros: some good acting, not many
Cons: the plot in general, Lorie Strode does not play enough of a role

Why has Michael Myers not dies yet? You would think that after over seven movies in the Halloween series that would be enough but know they really have got to just keep the stuff coming.

To begin with in the previous movie the main...

Pros: Getting back to the old ways, decient plot for todays horror movies, new effects
Cons: Famous Actors(busta rhyms), Killing of jamie lee curtis, ridiculous "new age" story plot.

I am a die hard fan of the halloween series and when i heard this movie was coming out i was both excited and nervous because if it was anything like H2O I was very nervous about watching it. It seems that in todays horror movies they try to bring in...

Pros: The classic music, great camera work, better than TV
Cons: Weak storyline, bad publicity for white kids. Busta Rhymes

THE MOVIE:
This movie is yet another cut em up, slash em up thriller. If you are into movies like Scream and Friday the 13th, you may like it. It starts out with Jamie Lee Curtis in a mental institution. She is quickly confronted with old...

Pros: Don't be seeeeellly, daaaarling.
Cons: The movie.

SO, this is like the 19th movie in the Halloween series. It saddens me. I remember back when I was a young horror film fan and Michael Myers gave me nightmares along with Freddie (but never Jason, sorry, just isn't scary). Even the second Halloween was...

Pros: Great Beginning,Great Halloween theme is back
Cons: Bad Script, No mention at all of Donald Pleasence (a.k.a Dr.Loomis)

First lots of people wondered how this film could be made if Michael Myers got his head chopped off in Halloween H20, well we find out indeed in the beginning of Halloween Ressurection.Two nurses talk about laurie strode and how she ended up in the...

Pros: Nothing good!
Cons: Everything bad!

Halloween:Resurrection is by far the worst horror movie ever. If you didn't already know, the writer of this Halloween is not the same writer that wrote all of the other Halloween movies. I really liked all of the other Halloween movies, but the writer...

Pros: Micheal Myers- the original- and that all time scariest music
Cons: Almost everything else

I confess I have eagerly awaited every movie in this series since the original started it all so many years ago. Even the
sequels that weren"t up to the original ( and what could be really?) I still found entertaining and I thought H2O actually...

Pros: Micheal Myers, surprisingly good story, and sylish killings
Cons: Busta Rhymes sucked, jus like his music.

In this 8th installment of this series Micheal Myers comes back after getting his head cut off in H20. But the great Character stays the same. Some teens win a contest, to spend a night in Micheal Myers old childhood home. The whole night to be...

Pros: Michael Myers has a lot of screen time, scary, internet-based
Cons: Jamie Lee Curtis (Michael's sister) has very little screen time, Busta Rhymes

Finally, Michael Myers is back! For those of you who have not seen the last installment of the Halloween series (shame on you) H2O, Michael Myers apparently met his demise at the hands of his sister played by Jamie Lee Curtis. One of my biggest fears...

Pros: there wasnt any overacting, classic music for the halloween movies
Cons: the internet thing, reality tv.

For those who have not yet had the chance, strike that, the pleasure to go and see Halloween Resurrection, I think that it would be worth the 7.50 or whatever to go see it. especially if you are a fan of the series itself. Halloween has a reputation of...

Pros: The premise,soundtrack,and Busta Rhymes
Cons: Tyra Banks,the execution,and the running time.

Halloween Resurrection: marks th e return of Jamie Lee Curtis whose (Laurie) is locked up in a sanitarium, after decapitating the wrong person at the end of H20. The pre-title sequence reveals that Laurie has not been taking her...

Pros: Reality tv links with 8th Halloween movie
Cons: It IS the 8th Halloween movie

Believe it or not- slasher sociopsychopath Michael Myers is 45 years old. And moves with the same murderous singlemindedness that he did in the Carpenter original.
Still in search of sister Laurie Strough (Jamie Lee Curtis).
And anyone else in...

Pros: Great addition to the series, new ideas, and good transition to new set of characters.
Cons: Little inaccuracies in the film in comparison to the others and predictability.

The Halloween series is one of my all time favorite movie series. The ability to create that many movies in a series and still have a large enough audience is amazing to me and says a lot about the movie itself. This is second only to the movie Halloween H20 only because it is slightly more predictable than normal. Every time I hear the Michael Meyers theme music it just gives me the creeps and this movie continued this theme through out. Another obvious detail is when they are in Michael's house, which is not really his original house. If you go back to the first few movies the houses are completely different!! When you open the front door in this movie the stairs are located right in front of you. However, in the other movies the stairs are located in the back of the house near the basement, just a slight directing mistake that I caught. Also, can I ask? How did Michael get such a nice car??????(check out the deleted scenes) Other than that I really enjoyed everything about this movie and I currently own it and continue to watch it!
