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

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

HOW DARE THIS EXIST!! After The Phenomenal Climax Of H20, They're So Desperate For More Money That They Pull A Middle Finger On THE SCREAM QUEEN, Take Away Her Victory, Ruin Her Story, And Then Deliver A GARBAGE SPEC SCRIPT With A TRASH ENDING Involving CHEAP KUNGFU & ELECTRICUTED PRIVATES!!! DELETE THIS FILM AT ONCE!!! 0/10 F- Never Ever Watch This Garbage

Halloween: Resurrection (2002) is a commercially driven follow-up where Laurie Strode, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, dies at the film’s start. The story centers on Michael Myers returning to his Haddonfield home, now a reality TV set, as students are picked off one by one. Lacking suspense and creative kills, with minimal character development, the film’s premise of live internet streaming feels anachronistic for 2002. Mostly unknown actors deliver forgettable performances, and the weak tunnel explanation for Myers’ survival fails to engage. While not as disastrous as Halloween 6, the early death of Laurie renders the rest of the film largely pointless.

What makes this movie slightly better than Halloween 5 for me is that it’s accidentally funny in spots but mostly a frustrating slog

There’s some corny one-liners that make me giggle but this should’ve wrapped up the franchise for good. The Akkads have to stop.
