What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Aja Romano Vox Stay away unless you like kitschy early internet nostalgia and lots of blurry found-footage trickery. Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety [Seems] even more uselessly redundant and shamelessly money-grubbing than most third-rate horror sequels. Jul 15, 2002 Full Review Daphne Gordon Toronto Star While the production values here are more cool than crappy, there's nothing really new about Resurrection. Rated: 2/5 Jul 15, 2002 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh 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 Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Brian Rowe InSession Film Here’s another entry that can be completely wiped from existence, and everybody would be better off. May 3, 2023 Full Review David Gonzalez 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 Jan 31, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Edward W If you take away the 'halloween' element, it would have been a fun slasher. Clever opener to explain the 'resurrection'. Still watchable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/01/25 Full Review Gregory S 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/29/25 Full Review Isaac K. Just a terrible movie terrible plot only good thing that came out of this movie was that funny line from Busta Rhymes Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/25 Full Review Stephen C Success in 1.5 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated R for Language, Brief Drug Use, Some Sexuality and Strong Violence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dubbed and subtitled in worldwide views!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/25 Full Review John C. It's terrible. Beyond terrible. Words can't explain how terrible this is. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/25 Full Review Rafael S It's not bad, it's even fun, but it's average. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/25 Full Review Read all reviews
