Halloween: Resurrection (2002) Directed by Rick Rosenthal
Horror / Thriller
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...

The very best sci-fi movies
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
A wave of fresh talent in the late 1950s, early 1960s brought about a dramatic renaissance in French cinema, placing the auteur at the core of France's 7th art.
