After what should've been the series' lasting and binding ending of "Halloween H20," "Halloween Resurrection" unnecessarily revives Michael Myers using the most cowardly and disbelieving tactics to continue the story.
The only reason to give the movie the time of day is to witness the opening chapter which cheaply concludes the Laurie Strode's storyline. Jamie Lee Curtis deserves better than this backwash of a contractually obligated chase and death scene. What follows the opening 20 minutes is mostly made of cheesy moments, silly plot advancements, and bad acting. No matter how hard it tries to be creative, modern, and self-referential, the movie self-combusts.
"Halloween Resurrection" bankrupted the "Halloween" franchise of creativity so much so that Dimension Films' only recourse was to reboot the series in remakes in order to continue collecting money from Michael Myers' profitability. You can apologize for a lot of things in the horror genre, but being obnoxious and betraying mogul heroines is not among them. Therefore, I commence a grudge against Halloween's resurrection.
