Halloween: Resurrection (2002)
Directed by Rick Rosenthal

Film Review

Sometimes the dead should just stay dead.  Halloween: H20 would have been a fairly respectable end to the original Halloween series, but no, the production team just had to bring Michael Myers back, for what is easily the worst offering in the entire franchise.  After a pretty dismal pre-credits sequence, which finally (and pointlessly) kills off the only sympathetic character in the series (played by Jamie Lee Curtis), the film degenerates into the "mad killer in old dark house" scenario and is about as entertaining as a trip to the local abattoir.  A tedious retread of the tired slasher formula, in which half a dozen instantly unlikeable teenagers are filleted by a character who now invites ridicule, Halloween: Resurrection gives us nothing new and represents the horror genre at its most gutlessly shallow. Let's hope this is finally the end of the series.

Film Synopsis

When she realises that she has decapitated a paramedic instead of the killer Michael Myers, Laurie Strode suffers a mental collapse.  Imprisoned in an asylum, Laurie prepares for the day when she knows her brother will come to kill her.  When Michael turns up, Laurie springs her trap, but the outcome is not what she planned.  The next Halloween, six college students agree to take part in a stunt to be broadcast on the Internet.  They will spend the night in Michael Myers' childhood home with the aim of working out why he went bad.  What neither they nor the stunt organisers know is that Michael is in the vicinity, hungry for blood...
