Alternate Versions
Jen is online and enters herself, Sara, and Rudy in the contest to spend the night in the childhood home of Michael Myers, only to be attacked by Michael. Following this scene Sara is seen getting out of the shower. She hears a noise and goes out of the bathroom but sees nothing. She returns to the bathroom and brushes her hair, only for Michael to set up in the bathtub. It turns out to be Rudy, dressed as Michael, who was playing a prank on Sara and Jen. This scene was cut because the producers felt it was "too goofy". Jen's encounter with Michael before she is killed was originaly longer. After finding Bill's body she runs into a room and backs against the wall--only for Michael to come crashing through the wall. She then runs through the house until she meets up with the other survivors as in the final cut. See more »

After over 20 years of satisfying horror flicks, the Halloween franchise came up with their 8th installment in the series. Halloween: Resurrection sees Michael Myers back again in his very own home to do a bit of the old slicing and dicing with his kitchen knife just one more time. This time with 6 college students, who are spending the night in the house where it all began, broadcasting a live interactive show over the Internet. The good points of the film sees the franchise moving ahead with a semi-reality style which in someway is portrayed through the whole `Big Brother' thing with the whole camera's in every corner. Its certainly spices things up a bit, and just like every Halloween movie, there's plenty of Mike. But what I couldn't help notice was how much the film tried to give something new to a franchise that was simply satisfying the way it was before. Why change it?? The cast was filled with a bunch of nobody's that made there acting debuts in low down cheesy teenage movies. What is the franchise coming too!!! Halloween: H20 delivered a loyal more than satisfying ending to the films by visiting the old cast and not getting sloppy where a few of the other films had in the past. It ended perfectly with intensity and mind, and this film is sadly a low attempt to revive a series that was triumphantly put to rest years ago. My say is this, if the Halloween movies provided you with years of classic horror entertainment and you feel as a loyal fan of the series that you absolutely `MUST SEE MIKE MYERS' just one more time, then get down to your local video rental store. But sadly I have to inform you that after you watch this one, your going to be telling others like you that the once great slasher flicks of the Halloween series, has sadly gone down the toilet and been flushed for the crap this film is. To give the fans what they really deserve it's going to take a hell of a lot more than a corny plot and cute camera tricks to resurrect the series.
