GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
cheighlee Incomprehensible mess.Casting is atrocious.Plot is atrocious.Acting is atrocious.It's shot beyond atrocious.An abortion and a failure of a movie on all ends.Movie latches onto H20 and rewrites the ending of it, kills Laurie Strode in first 10 mins and then serves us two plotlines with hollow characters and even worse plot.Plot number one - some college kids get to do live stream with Busta and Tyra Banks from Myers house. Why? We don't know.Parallel plot number two - some highscoohler that text messages main character from plot number one, they don't share any screentime except few texts and emails.Nothing works in this movie, and you can even see it with you eyes right away. Probably the worst decision is that they thought it would be cool and edgy to use actual crap handy cams to shot main characters POV portions of the movie. It looks disgusting.Busta can't act.Others too.Only cool thing is when Michael Myers lops Katee Sackhoff's head in one swoosh with a knife. That was brutal. Everything else:ABOMINABLE!Easily the worst Halloween movie.
caosupernurse Not the best Halloween but still beats #three! It's back to the slasher rules of horror films without all the human torture so many horror movies think they need today. If your a horror movie kid from the 80's, sometimes you just wanna watch a predictable slasher movie!
Eric Stevenson With "Halloween H20: 20 Years Later" it looks like we finally got the good "Halloween" sequel we've been waiting for and the story appeared to be over...until they made another dumb sequel which is arguably even worse than the other ones. The previous movie had Michael being beheaded by Laurie. This movie retcons this by saying that it was actually someone else wearing his mask. His throat was crushed which is why he didn't tell Laurie who he was. Then why didn't he just take off his mask then? More importantly, how was he able to survive being hit by a car when he was just an ordinary person? The rest of the movie is basically a reality show with Michael in it. It's about as dumb as it sounds. It features a bunch of people living in Michael Myers' house as part as some publicity stunt but they get killed off like any other characters do. All of these characters are annoying and pointless and it seems like they belong in another movie. We get more lame scenes with fakeouts of other people wearing Michael's mask. A lot of the padding is just everyone talking with no relevance to the story. It's a waste of time. *1/2
Devon Elson (absolutetravist) Like an old man trying to understand how to use their grandchild's tablet, Resurrection is an irony riddled attempt from a film in 2002 trying to defibrillate a franchise started in 1978. Given this is the eighth and last of the canon series, it seems fitting for the man that started it all returning to end it. Not Carpenter of course, but Rosenthal who directed the pleasantly fine second entry that helped popularize the killer that just refuses to kick the bucket.Also returning is finish things is Jamie Lee Curtis who firmly ended her relationship with the franchise by dying in the prologue. Much like the prior film of comically beating Myers' butt, Jamie is ready for round eight but shockingly, and rather limply, loses in a scenario reminiscent of Halloween 2.But here lies the problem, whether it be supernatural orders found in the dreadful and oft skipped 'Thorn trilogy' or simple cinematic storytelling, Michael Myers did it. He achieved his goal, his mission in life, his series story arc in murdering his entire family. In effect he has no meaning to exist, which cements him in the same position of Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger who were all having so much fun they forget why they even started.Who do we have now? Who knows, I sure can't remember the forgettable cast of fodder this time around. Save for Tyra Banks in a small throwaway role and Busta "Trick or treat, motherf***er" Rhymes as the man to canonically take down the Shape for the last time. No real threat since Paul Rudd also accomplished that. Those two (Banks and Rhymes) working together on an online reality show exploring spooky tourist attractions leads to uninspired and poorly directed portable camera portions that resemble the found footage craze that boomed before and then after this film.There also happens to be two characters that watch this at a Halloween party and aiding in the protagonist's survival, absurdly but entertainingly they wear Pulp Fiction costumes the entire film. As bizarre as it is to see a white guy try to act serious watching live murders while wearing an afro and goatee, it's pretty great to see recognizable costumes on screen.Mentioning Jason and Freddy before, it's strange to witness the ends of these franchises. Even with reboots and rebirths, it's still morbidly curious to see just how confident and desperate studios were to maintain a franchise with no regard to quality or quantity. Fittingly the franchises end up resembling the icons themselves, disfigured and devolved yet still lurching onward. But more so, that it's the masks that instilled that magic, like the people embodying those killers, it's the directors, actors, producers, and studios that regularly rotate to wearing them. Copycat killers trying their best, or not, to score their name crudely alongside the originators by rekindling the legacy.
