Halloween 8: Resurrection (2002)

Director: Rick Rosenthal

Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis, Busta Rhymes, Brad Loree

Three years after he last terrorized his sister, Michael Myers confronts her again, before traveling to Haddonfield to deal with the cast and crew of a reality show which is being broadcast from his old home.

Rick Rosenthal, director of that terrible ‘Halloween 2,’ is back for another take on the Halloween franchise. The first thing I noticed was the bad acting, then the bad cliches, then all the characters added simply for the kill, then the bad dialogue, and silly plot. Just like ‘Halloween: H20’ this film ignores all previous sequels and follows on ‘H20’, which followed on ‘Halloween 2′.

There’s just so much wrong here, I’m not even gonna bother highlighting some of them. This was terribly bad. The idea of them doing a reality show in the Myers house might be intriguing, but the execution thereof was nothing to write home about. This is the worst bunch of people “being selected” for the TV show. On what credentials? They’re all idiots and say and do the stupidest things. Nothing here is credible. If this is a big TV show, why are the contestant’s cameras so bad? Why did no-one see Bill getting killed? And the way EVERYONE just misses what happens on the screens for convenience purpose only is just stupid – especially the Tyra Banks scene. Wow, bad, bad, bad!

Busta Rhymes’ character is anything but professional, considering the show was his idea. He doesn’t act or talk the least bit what his character stands for, or supposed to, at least. And as a TV show they don’t have any security measures in place??? Even when there’s a fire!?? Oh, c’mon, you can’t stuff this crap down my throat and expect me to swallow! This was like watching a very, very bad non-humorist comedy. They’ve managed to make a complete spectacle of the franchise. This one hits rock bottom in the worst possible way!
