Halloween: Resurrection (2002) 
Halloween: Resurrection (2002) is the eighth installment in the Halloween franchise and a direct sequel to Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998). While it attempts to modernize the series with a reality-TV angle, it ultimately falls short of its predecessors.
The film opens with the shocking and controversial death of Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), a move that disappointed many fans. After that, the story follows a group of college students participating in an internet reality show called Dangertainment, where they spend the night in Michael Myers’ childhood home. Predictably, Michael returns, leading to a series of uninspired kills.
One of the film’s biggest issues is its weak characters. Unlike previous entries, the protagonists feel underdeveloped, making it hard to care about their fates. The film also struggles with tone, blending horror with unintentionally comedic moments—especially when Busta Rhymes fights Michael Myers using martial arts. While some viewers may enjoy the campy elements, others find them cringeworthy.
On the positive side, Resurrection offers some entertaining slasher moments and an interesting attempt to incorporate live-streaming technology, which was ahead of its time. However, compared to the original Halloween and even H20, it lacks suspense and atmosphere.
Overall, Halloween: Resurrection is considered one of the weakest entries in the franchise. While it may appeal to those looking for a cheesy, early-2000s horror flick, it fails to deliver the tension and scares that made the series iconic.
