But things go frightfully wrong and the game turns into a struggle to make it out of the house alive.

Critics Consensus

The only thing this tired slasher flick may resurrect is nostalgia for when the genre was still fresh and scary.

Stay away unless you like kitschy early internet nostalgia and lots of blurry found-footage trickery.

[Seems] even more uselessly redundant and shamelessly money-grubbing than most third-rate horror sequels.

While the production values here are more cool than crappy, there's nothing really new about Resurrection.

No matter what horror fans disagree about, it's nice to see them all come together to confirm that Resurrection is the absolute low point of the entire franchise in every way imaginable.

Here’s another entry that can be completely wiped from existence, and everybody would be better off.

Halloween: Resurrection is an embarrassment to a franchise that I hold near and dear to my heart. A franchise that has entertained viewers for the past 40 years and its fans deserved more than this film.

I grew up loving Resurrection and I presumed many did too! Didn't the internet prove me wrong though. It's truly the first Halloween movie where Michael is mostly going after people that are not related to him and even then, he wasn't really targetting them. They just happened to be on his turf. Either way, this movie, while not perfect, is entertaining and enjoyable to watch.

The beginning felt serious and was not going bad but then it became a parody. I love movies that are not serious and are just so bad it’s funny but it gets -1 star because idk if they did it on purpose, I didn’t like the mask and it ended with an open ending.

I cannot see ranking this at the bottom. I thought it was fun, and killing off Laurie (again) was magnificent. Busta Rhymes Freddie was underrated.

Worst Horror film ever made! They killed off Laurie Strode so we can follow some forgettable characters, the acting is horrible, the twists (or excuses) of how Myers survived in H20 are unforgiveable and they have another cliffhanger which never goes anywhere. (Sorry for spoilers.)
