Critics Consensus

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

This Halloween film was unique in a way because of it being almost a found footage film and a haunted house game show but the result of it wasn't too good. H20 had a perfect ending so this film wasn't needed but it's there to try and make money I guess. Laurie strode was going to die in this film but at the start is too soon. They should have made here die at the end. Now we will never no what happened to Michael Myers in this timeline because he survived on a cliffhanger ending but the film was so bad it ended this timeline

Busta Rhymes looks like he’s about to chew the face off of most of the cast. This movie is awful.

This movie just doesn't work for me. Jamie Lee Curtis wanted to end the franchise, but the studio wanted to keep it going, and bad moves were made. The film quickly removes her character, making way for a new group that just doesn't work. The new characters lack the charm needed to make the audience care about them. For me, there was a slight silver lining, but it may not be for everyone. Busta Rhymes managed to bring a bit of humor into an otherwise boring film. As I said, it's a small win, as the overall experience is just not good. While there are some entertaining kills, they get overshadowed by the feeling of studio greed and a failure to realize when it's time to let a successful franchise rest.

For those who have seen Halloween h20 and Halloween 1978, you will find the beginning of this film unwatchable, This film just degrades and degrades, when Busta Rhymes enters the film it's so gross that it's embarrassing, rubbish film, Michael Myers is horrible, don't watch this film under any circumstances, It's torture from start to finish and deserves a 0.5/10.

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.

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

The Cinematic Reel

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.

Rated: .5/4

This movie is an insult to fans and the franchise. Myers feels artificially inserted into a generic 2000's slasher and he is treated as a joke rather than the face of the series. And we won't talk about the baffling treatment of Laurie Strode.

Rated: 1.5/5
