Michael, still alive after his apparent beheading, travels back to Haddonfield to find a group of teens participating in a live Internet broadcast from his old home. Naturally, he starts killing them.

Hey, Michael did something new with his hair!  I like it.  Yes, Michael’s hairdo is the most interesting thing about this amateur schlock. At the end of the last “adventure,” Michael was finally killed for good by his sister. No tiny bullets or surface burns, he was beheaded. Let’s say that again. HIS HEAD WAS CUT OFF. Now, for most of us, that would be a detriment, but not for Michael or the producers of this waste of film stock. Apparently, Laurie accidentally beheaded someone else. Ooops. Michael has been reading War and Peace for three years, but now decides to come after his sis, and kills off the only reason to see the film before the opening credits.

Halloween: Resurrection does introduce one new concept, black people. There are non-Caucasians in the world. You’d never know that from the previous films.  It also shows the differences in the races: white folks run or scream when they meet Michael, blacks fight back with street-styled martial arts. Ah, I do love it when filmmakers have such a strong grasp of race relations.

The other films in the series are Halloween, Halloween 2, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Halloween 5, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later.
