He's back for more... When a group of teens win a contest to spend a night in Michael Myers' childhood home to be broadcast live on the Internet, they believe they are in for a little fun and some free publicity. 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.

Rated: 2/5

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.

Rated: 1/5

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

Out the gate the body swap thing in the intro is absurd. The only thing they resurrected was the rotting corpse of a decently finished IP. sometimes... dead is better. The characters were absolutely abhorrent. The only character I liked was Busta Rhymes. Normally I feel some sort of sympathy twords the victims in slasher film but not in this one. I was rooting for Michael Myers! Honestly just horrible writing overall lots of issues throughout the film. Did Laurie super dirty. This film should not exsist. Tapping the IP of something until it's absolutly destroyed is a shame. So destroyed they have to go and attempt a whole redo of the entire time line in (2018-2022 trilogy) and absolutly screw that up too.

If you take away the 'halloween' element, it would have been a fun slasher. Clever opener to explain the 'resurrection'. Still watchable.

It is a Halloween movie that stars Busta Rhymes and Tyra Banks. That should cover it. whoever wrote the script must have gotten their start by writing porn movies. Which can be said for where quite a few of the actors and actresses learned how to act. Definitely not the best one in the Franchise, but it is a fun ride.
