Halloween: Resurrection
(2002)
Following the success of Halloween 4 in 1988, producer
Moustapha Akkad immediately
rushed out a near unwatchable follow-up. Strangely, he
didn’t seem in a rush to capitalize on the positive reaction to
1998’s Halloween H20, waiting
four years to produce this near
unwatchable follow-up. In the
NewJerseyStage.com
mid to late ‘90s, slashers were
big business, but by this film’s
release in 2002, the fad was
dead. Horror had returned to the
shelves of rental stores and were
it not for the presence of Curtis, I
suspect Halloween: Resurrection
wouldn’t have made it to the big
screen. This film feels small in every regard.
