"Coming out of the closet with a chainsaw" Sounds like the plot of an lgbt horror film

The scene where Michael follows Busta through the house while they’re wearing the same outfit makes me cry laughing every time

Yeah, Busta Rhymes and Ice Cube = Two Rappers who have a "Don't you fucking kill me or even let anyone one-up my masculinity in the movie" clause when they're put in horror movies.

Rick Rosenthal loves to set characters on fire.

You failed to mention the knife sound effects throughout the entire movie. That shit was so bad. Another great review Cody!

The reason why I and most people think this is the worst Halloween, is because other than Laurie's 3 minutes of screen time this film had absolutely nothing to do with any other storyline in the franchise and it just blows as we all know.

How they couldn’t get the mask right in all these movies will forever blow my mind.

Cody I agree with all that you said. That being said this one is my guilty pleasure I just skipped the scene where my heart (Jamie Lee Curtis) Is ripped out of my chest. It doesn't exist.

Your delivery was Waaaaaaaaaay better then Her's Cody

I was hoping you'd mention Sarah's lines in the chainsaw scene.. "For all of them!" 😂🤣

And then it’s Busta Rhymes who was already a walking cartoon character. It’s like a live action Yosemite Sam with complete sincerity against Kratos, and Kratos just suddenly apologizes in a PePe Lepew accent mixed with James Bond.

Omg the dog Jason pissing on Freddy is better than this!! Haha that says it all brother!!

This makes Rob Zombie's films look incredible.

LOL You're killing it with this "Halloween" series, Cody. I totally agree on this one. It does have some decent elements and a promising premise but quickly squanders it. The first sign of trouble was how they had Laurie go down like a punk. Still, at least it's not "Freddy's Dead." I gave this one the exact same rating you did.

About the whole Freddie making fun of Michael part, the filmmakers said that Michael initially thought it was his self conscious talking too him lol but still could've been better executed

Sara (Bianca Kajlich) - The final Girl, had a role in Dawson’s Creek Season 6 as a character who’s an actress filming a shitty horror movie as the main girl that ends up straight to cable. It’s like the universes were connected, throughout the season, her character was filming Halloween: Resurrection basically

I always get those nostalgic vibes that you get Cody. I am a 90s kid and will forever love that time was the best time ever being a kid in the world and growing up watching Disney, Nickelodeon etc. Good times, I always reminisce on the 90s.

You’re pumping out a lot of quality content bro! Good stuff!

I haven't read all through the comments and I've only seen 90% of Resurrection. If the point is they kill off Laurie and now he's no longer pursuing his sister...what about her son? If he's killing his family, why doesn't he go after Laurie's son from H20?

Dude that chainsaw scene ugh.

20:23 That'd make sense as the majority of Dimension's Hellraiser sequels were unrelated films that they just decided to put Pinhead in and make Hellraiser films at the last minute. So I wouldn't be surprised if this originally wasn't going to be a Halloween film.

People hated Halloween 3 and wanted Myers back...yeah...only to get his ass kicked by Busta Rhymes. What's next? Eminem chasing Freddy Kruger with his Shady Karate Moves while the song Go to Sleep plays? Lil Wayne running around the Overlook Hotel?

This film should have been a prequel before that took place before H20

I thought the scene with Laurie Strode on top the roof confronting Michael Myers was a post-ending credits.

that he did. moustapha akkad and his daughter died in late 2005.

“Trick Or Treat!..Martha Falker.”

Was first named "Halloween: The Homecoming", but producers wanted a title that said Michael Myers is alive so in February 2002, the film was officially named Halloween: Resurrection (2002). Jamie Lee Curtis was quoted as saying she considered this film a joke. John Carpenter has stated that the movie made him cringe. While in the asylum, Laurie Strode has a Raggedy Ann doll. In the original movie, she had a similar Raggedy Ann doll on the dresser in her bedroom. Jamie Lee Curtis appears on the movie cover with short hair, despite having long hair in the film. If looked at more closely, one can easily tell that it's the same picture of her that was used for the poster of the previous film, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998). In 2015 when being interviewed by Toofab, Jamie Lee Curtis has said that this film was a complete joke, and that the only reason why she did the film was because she signed a contract when doing Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998), because that was the only way she could have Halloween H20 made. Stuntman Brad Loree, a lifelong horror enthusiast and fan of the 'Halloween' films, plays Michael Myers in this installment. Loree stated that, had the series not been rebooted after 'Resurrection', he would have liked to reprise the role of Myers, as he enjoyed the role. Bianca Kajlich cannot scream and her screams had to be dubbed in post production. Jamie Lee Curtis has played Laurie Strode in films released in six different decades from the 1970s to the 2020s: Halloween (1978), Halloween II (1981), Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998), Halloween: Resurrection (2002), Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills(2021) and Halloween Ends (2022). The only one movie to establish Michael Myers' birth date: October 19, 1957. Jamie Lee Curtis was contractually obligated to be in a sequel, supposedly for a 30-second cameo, but reportedly was so interested in the story that she agreed to do a full four-day shoot and appeared in the entire opening sequence. However she has discounted this and only did it because she didn't want her character to be in any more films. She saw this film as a joke. This film is the first one in which Michael kills a victim by decapitation. Freddie Harris' surname is an homage to Danielle Harris, who played Michael Myers' niece, Jamie Lloyd, in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989). (at around 17 mins) In the first scene at the college, Sara Moyer (Bianca Kajlich) is shown twirling her hair, much like Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) does in the class room scene in the original Halloween. Sara says that Michael's knife would be in an evidence room locker, in the beginning of Bride of Chucky (1998), Michael's mask is shown in an evidence room locker. Michael's use of a spiked leg of a tripod as a weapon is an homage to Michael Powell's Peeping Tom (1960). (At around 8 mins) The security camera footage showing Michael walking down a corridor is similar to Halloween II (1981) when the security footage shows Michael walking down a hospital hallway both movies were directed by Rick Rosenthal. Michael's knife is a, 12" Victorinox Forschner with Rosewood Handle. The name Jen Danzig is a reference to Glenn Danzig, the former singer and leader of The Misfits, who wrote and sung the songs Halloween and Halloween II after the original movie was released. The two songs have nothing to do with the movies, because their lyrics do not even touch the main plot. When Laurie is killed by Michael and falls through the trees, you can hear the same "landing on the floor" sound effect from when Michael falls out of the window at the end of the original Halloween. Ryan Merriman (Myles) and Billy Kay (Scott) were both born on April 10th. The film's poster, has Laurie reflected on the bottom of the knife, which is also bloodied at the tip. Laurie Strode is only in the film for the first 15 minutes and only says 11 lines of dialogue. Despite this, Jamie Lee Curtis still gets top billing as part of the cast. at around 16 mins) At the beginning of the movie Harold begins to recount the victims of the first two films and he says three teenagers were killed, along with three nurses and a paramedic. This is completely wrong. Four teenagers were killed (Annie, Bob, Linda and Alice (the girl talking on the phone at the beginning of the second movie) and four nurses, a paramedic, a security guard, a doctor, and a marshal, as well as the truck driver who was found by Dr. Loomis, which is where Michael got his jumpsuit. Nora Winston's (Tyra Banks's) death scene was originally onscreen. Publicity stills and behind-the-scenes photos proved that her death scene was filmed. It involved Michael stringing her up with electrical wire and him repeatedly stabbing her in the abdomen as she struggled (which explains the pool of blood Sara slips on in the garage). The scene was later cut, as a suggestion by Brad Loree, the stuntman who played Michael, as he stated "Every horror movie has to have a character find the body of someone you didn't know was dead." Body count: 10. (Plus one character presumed dead, but it's unconfirmed. If you count the bodies from the flashbacks then the body count is 14.) Second Halloween movie to have Michael get burned in a fire at the end, first was Halloween II (1981), both were directed by Rick Rosenthal. (at around 1h 17 mins) Tyra Banks' character's death was cut. You can still see the aftermath in the movie. Michael switching outfits with the paramedic (how he survived the previous film) is similar to the producers' cut ending to Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995), where Michael switches outfits with Dr. Wynn.

When Cody mentioned he didn’t like the mask I didn’t get the reason because the thumb nail in the background for the mask looks great but once he clarified it only looks good in dark lit scenes like the one he used I understood Edit: you got my subscription I’m diggin your videos

I absolutely hate the retcon of H20's ending and the first 10 minutes because they gave Laurie the same treatment that they gave Rachel in Halloween 5. I like the whole found footage aspect and the cinematography which are the only redeeming qualities this film has going for it.

Unfortunately, this wasn't another script idea with Meyers shoved in. I have a few drafts of this, and it was always Halloween.

I'm not a fan of resurrection at all. But people moan about how they brought Myers back. How else were they supposed to realistically bring him back. Bolt of lightening? Telekinetic girl revives him? The man had his head chopped off. The old switcharoo was the only way. Still sucks though.

Am I the only one who mostly likes the first 10 minutes besides the plot twist and the death of Laurie Strode, but the whole thing about jamie in the mental asylum and that weird dude is cool

Cody is on a ROLL with these Halloween reviews!!! Take that, other KZfaq horror review channels!

Hey Cody, I agree with you 95 % of the time. I disagree on Freddy's Dead(The same relationship you have with child's play 3 is what I have for Freddy's Dead, although I did see 1-5 prior, but I was a toddler and didn't understand storytelling yet. And it was my first Freddy film in theatres as I saw in in 91 when it came out) I got to say, you forgot another reason why it made no sense. If that was the paramedic in the ending of H20, he would've been dead. Because no man can survive that hit from a Van. They would've had internal bleeding and died. At least with the thorn demon storyline it would make sense since he is unkillable.

Anyone that thinks this is the worst movie ever made has seen very few movies.

I'm watching H20 right now. Love Josh Hartnetts goofy haircut. And 'LL Cool J tells him to comb his hair. I like all the "Psycho" references. But to much time in between kill-scenes. And not enough of them.

Damn that was fast. Your pumping out content like a beast

I love the kills especially the tripod kill the most. My favorite thing about this film however is the cinematography, in my opinion there's no denying that fact. Great video once again...loving the little skits at the beginning.

*12:43**-**13:15* When I tell you I laughed so hard. 💀Then the pause with the complete and utter unamused expression at *13:15* Bro, I can't. 💀💀

I seen this at the movies for my birthday. If they had Michael hunted laurie in the crazy house as a whole movie could had been a lot better with a definitely final battle between the two.

-Busta Rhymes -Tyra Banks -The dude from American Pie (whose name I can't remember, but that description of him perhaps says it better than his name would) ...in a horror movie. Yeah, this has disaster written all over it without even seeing it. Unfortunately, I have seen it.

I think you forgot to mention the paramedic apparently is also impossible to kill and immortal like Myers cuz Laurie crushed him with the van twice and he survived.. Also when pinned he grabbed his head with both hands. If it wasn't Myers he would have yanked off his mask and Laurie would've known that's not Michael.

I've seen worse movies ......not mentioning them by name

I don't like this movie for the most part, but one thing I will say about this movie, this Michael is hands down the scariest looking Michael. He always looks pissed off in this movie and it's scary as fuck, he's also a really effective killer.

I hope people don't kill me for this. Halloween 3 is my favorite Halloween movie

I have a soft spot for Jason Takes Manhattan.

I see why you have 18K subscribers and climbing my friend.... your reviews are great!

I love the passion you have for horror and that you can always find positives even if you hate a movie. I have never seen this and most likely never will haha but I loved the review :)

I’m gotta get so much shit, but Halloween resurrection is my Halloween movie guilty pleasure

All the sequels were inferior. Halloween 5, 6, and Resurrection have a special place in UP YOURS land for me...(though I give the Producer's Cut of Part 6 a slightly higher score, but only a little.)

OMGaw, you had me _dying_ in this review. I literally couldn't breathe a couple of times from laughing so hard. 😂😂😂😂

I loved watching Busta Rhymes try to act, but I already knew it was a trainwreck. To me he's the most entertaining aspect of this movie. Cause he's so bad it's astonishing.

Lol Cody. I have always felt the same way about those lines by Sarah at end😂. I totally think bvb u did it better...

The beginning would been better if the ending of H2O would have just been a dream.

I'm sorry but the Liu Kang sounds Freddy makes when facing Michael makes me laugh every time 😭😭😅

I know Micheal walked away from Busta rhymes but in Halloween 2 Micheal bumped into a kid with a boom box in a dark deserted parking lot and Micheal walked away from him and in h2o Micheal stole the women's purse in a bathroom in the middle of nowhere and walked away with out slaughtering her or her daughter so I can't say that was unnatural for Michael to walkaway from busta

I still profess that Rob Zombie's Halloween II is the worst of the series. It's such a shit Halloween film, and should've been called something else.

I'd watch this over both of Rob Zombies Halloween films that's for sure

Scoot , Skedaddle, get the heck out of dodge ….kills me everytime😂

I honestly think you and Leemis aka Lee McCoy should work together more often, I think together y'all could have a record breaking channel. Keep up the great work both of you and thank you for making these last few days of waiting for the new Halloween movie more bearable. Thank y'all, both of you are awesome!

Ryan Merriman is my favorite part of the movie as well for the same reason. Lol

23:25 It was much better line delivery.

when your review thumbnail is better than the actual film you’re reviewing 😂😂👏

Hey Cody, did you record your intro animations using After Effects?

All agree to erase this film from the H20 timeline?

“Trick or treat...Mother Fucker!” Haha I love that scene

This one ain't near as bad as what everyone else makes it out to be lol, but.. I hated the fact they built the house on sound stage and in the scene where Myers gets kung-fu kicked out a window and is strangled by the camera cord for a split second if you look up you can clearly see the roof of the warehouse they had the Myers house in ugh.. Just ruined the illusion of it being in a real neighborhood for me

Myers can’t get the same mask in all the movies since 2 and now Freddy has a mask exactly like Myers lol

Not as bad as Halloween 2 2009 that movie was garbage ....Halloween Resurrection is a guilty pleasure

Halloween: Resurrection, the movie where Michael Myers fights Freddy...too bad it's not the Freddy we all wanted him to fight.

While watching this, I thought of a few idea that they COULD'VE used instead of this garbage. 1.) Don't make another one at all. (Well... H20 made a $55 million dollars so uhh... that's not gonna happen.) 2.) I know it didn't happen but try the no Michael Myers idea again: There's so many original ideas they could've done with something horrifying happening on the Halloween season and could've made a great avenue for smaller unknown directions to make horror movies that would be seen by more people than it most likely would have otherwise. I know they originally wanted to for this movie's early development so why tf didn't they do it? 3.) Laurie is enjoying her retirement after finally stopping Michael Myers like maybe she wrote a book, and has a new rich boyfriend. (Like her character in Freaky Friday.) But back in Haddonfield, murders start up once again and the town's teens seek out Mrs. Strode to come back to her hometown to help. Laurie, now taking a Loomis-like role must help them stop the killer who might be Michael or might just be a copycat who's been overly obsessed with Michael for years. (Kind of like the killer obsessed patient in this movie's opening or a Riddler-type nerd.) 4.) Maybe wipe everything completely for a new start and establish a fully new cast of characters who are attacked by a new killer who's built up as Michael throughout the film only to subvert your expectations in the final act. 5.) Maybe after killing Michael, Laurie begins to have a mental breakdown with psychotic thoughts like if Michael successfully broke her. And once Halloween rolls around again, she KILLS someone. Maybe her son or some trick-or-treater who happened to come to her house at the wrong time. She gets locked up in a mental asylum and murders of patients begin there as well AND it raises the question: Is Michael alive, or has Laurie gone full-blown insane because of her fucked-up life? It could be a great character study of what happens to the mind after 20 plus years of torment as a survivor that's so tragic and more psychological instead of blood-soaked slashing that could also make Michael scary in a new and modern way. (So yeah, basically a more thought out, better made and white horseless version of Rob Zombie's H2.)

I think when Freddy was yelling at Michael dressed as him it freaked him out.

Your delivery was much much better. Lol

I actually think the mask is one of the better ones

Halloween Resurrection is not a very good movie but I can find guilty pleasure enjoyment of it.

Really enjoying your Halloween reviews Cody. I'm not a huge Halloween guy, but I've always enjoyed the journey. You and I are in agreement about Season of the Witch - actually a terrifying movie. Scarier than a slasher.

I'm okay with Halloween: Resurrection because some parts of it are so silly that I just find it hilarious. The part where Busta Rhymes is dressed UP like Michael Myers and doesn't realize who he is talking to is one of those parts. Jason Voorhees would've done a Mortal Kombat X Fatality on Busta for that crap. But not only does Busta live through all that talking he's actually poking Michael Myers in the head, he tells Michael to turn around and leave and Michael actually does it (???). I was watching that part like "Wait/what, he let him live?" See that was some funny shite. I mostly just find this film funny.

Look forward to these reviews every Cody! Absolutely killing it man! :)

People asked for Michael vs Freddy and they got *THIS!*

Your delivery is better than hers

Jason takes manhattan bad? Your saying that movie is worse than the final Friday? I disagree, but I respect your opinion.

I'm almost positive the 'so-bad-its-good' thing is intentional. It does actually work. This movie is funny as fuck. The contrast with Jason Takes Manhattan is apt. Resurrection is at least really entertaining.

No one seems to mention the house, in curse it was renovated and lived in yet in resurrection it's been abandoned since the 60s. Also Michael was institutionalised so couldn't have been there all those years, maybe the last 3.

Feel like the primary reason Cody hates Freddy's Dead so much is because of his love for the best films in that franchise. But pound for pound it is indeed a better film than Resurrection, Friday VIII & arguably Halloween 5 & Friday III.

25:25 - Despite your genuine criticisms of Resurrection, I still liked it better than 6 and Rob Zombie's 2. The latter two are beyond insulting, but at the very least Busta Rhymes doing taekwondo was something I could be entertained by in that "so bad it's good" way.

Great review Cody!!! I gotta agree with you about this movie it, would be at or around the bottom of my list.I will say i always liked the shot of Laurie falling to her death and the death of the kid from American Pie was pretty cool but, overall this was just one big wasted opportunity. ..

Oh man, cant wait for you to cover Hellraiser. I love tge Hellraiser franchise.

12:45 Michael walks to the ambulance with the other paramedics. Paramedic: Hey buddy is that that Michael Myers guy's knife? Michael: "Breathes heavily." Paramedic: You feeling alright man? Michael nods.

Halloween Resurrection may be bad, but it's not Seed of Chucky bad.

I did my own ranking of the Halloween franchise after watching yours and I put resurrection ahead of Rob Zombies first Halloween

Err, uhhm...the Halloween franchise doesn't have a titular killer. That would require the killer to be named "Halloween," not "Michael Myers." I always wondered why the paramedic wouldn't just pull the mask off. You wake up, injured, in a strange place, you can't talk, and there's a rubber mask on your face. First thing you do is pull that thing off.

Where did Michael Meyer's mask even come from? I know it's a stable to the series & everything but inside the Halloween universe no mask manufacturer would make & sell something so basic looking.

This is why you don't cast narcissistic rappers in classic slashers. They literally go up to the director and tell him ''Gimme this, I got this shit from here on out, this is MY movie now!''

I love Resurrection. Top five of the series in my opinion

This movie would’ve worked so much better if they did it in the found footage style. They had the perfect setting and lighting but the traditional mode of filming defused much of the tension. Missed opportunity.

Halloween Resurrection is good movie to me but I don't understand why people hates this movie so much? Because Halloween H20 ending is problem 😒

And again, Dick Warlock is the best Myers.

Did you just say final destination??! Cody please review the Final Destination franchise...

Just finished watching this movie for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. Busta Rhymes is so funny in it it's hard not to be entertained. Had the story gone deeper on exploring Michael's past combined with better acting it could've been a slam dunk. I just think the plot was too surface level for it to have any long lasting impression on the Halloween universe.

Just finished the video, I agree, aside from making Myers a joke, this film occupies the "So Bad It Is Good" territory.
