Comments: Director Rick Rosenthal apparently had nothing better to do, as he returned 21 years after making Halloween II to make the abomination that was Halloween: Resurrection. The only thing that I liked about the film was the explanation as to how Michael Myers was still alive. It fit incredibly well with how the last film ended without taking too many liberties. Unfortunately, the rest of the film is complete shit. There are so many plot holes (How is Michael Myers secretly stomping about a house filled with cameras and no one notices? Why are only Tyra Banks and Busta Rhymes the only people in charge? Where are all the technical people and other Dangertainment employees?) and ridiculous plot devices (Busta Rhymes doing kung-fu) that I felt the need to punch kittens (and I love kittens). In all my years of rating and reviewing films (although this blog dates back to April, I've been doing versions of this since 2004), I can't think of many I've given zero stars. I usually find something to enjoy. But I hated Halloween: Resurrection with a passion, and I am glad that this version of the film series has ended. While I enjoyed Rob Zombie's reimagining of the series, I fear that it will soon start to produce Halloween: Resurrection-type films, as the third film (due next year) will be made without Zombie. But, because I am a shithead, I will keep watching them.
