GREAT!!!!!! , warning, contains spoilers!!

[10/10 · 13 July 2002]

I have been waiting to see this movie for 4 years. And after Halloween H20, me, my brother, and my best friend has disputed over the fact that if that was the real Michael Myers in H20, or just a copycat. Halloween Resurrection cleared this argument up, and is one of the many pleasures of Halloween: Resurrection. In the beginning, Michael tracks his sister Laurie down after 3 years in a mental hospital. On top of the roof, Michael finally kills Laurie, and then proceeds to go back to his home. The beginning sequence is very exciting to watch, and the music pumps up just at the right times. The story follows a group of teenagers who have won a contest set-up by Busta Rhymes, and Tyra Banks, to spend on night in the house of Michael Myers. Attached to their heads are cameras which they use to go around the house to try an uncover the mystery behind Michael Myers madness, and rage. But what they don't know is that Michael is already in the house, hell bent on killing them all. Halloween: Resurrection sets up these characters to die in cool, and sometimes elaborate ways. This movie cranks up the suspense by having Michael Myers at sometimes pop out of nowhere, and the score gives you that crank of music just at the right time to create an even more atmosphere of terror. Another pleasure of this movie is that is able to interract with the people who are watching over the internet, and sets up a very suspensful, and creey scene in which the heroine has a little palm computer device which allows her to make contact with the people wathcing, and they are able to tell her where Michael is. The movie not only has great suspense, I found my heart pumping at the end, and that's what a great horror/thriller should do. Halloween: Resurrection has a lot of funny line, and scenes, including a great one where Busta Rhymes { dressed up as Michael Myers] meats up with the real Michael Myers, and delivers a very funny outcome, which I will not reveal. Not only is Halloween: Resurrection creepy, and suspensful, it is able to create all that with a believeable plot which has characters, and events that are believeable. Followed by ok acting, and a funny performance by Busta Rhymes, great music, cool death sequences, a believeabl story, and ending which made me jump, Halloween: Resurrection is not as good as the first, but not that much close behind the first, Halloween: Resurrection stands as the best of Halloween sequels. 4 out of 4 stars.
