Halloween Resurrection

Jamie Lee Curtis, Busta Rhymes, Tyra Banks. Dimension Films, 200??

I hate films in which the first ten minutes actually plays like the epilogue of the previous movie, and is in itself an entirely separate story from the rest of the movie. The reason why I hate them is that they are simple devices to release the main actor/actress from their contractual obligations to remain stuck in bad characaterization in a series that is degenerating artistically.

In this case, Jamie Lee Curtis's character finally gets killed by her brother. Yeah, in the first ten minutes or so - and that's really all you need to see about the film.

Best moment is during this timeframe, in which one of the whackos in the asylum rattles off every statistic about every serial killer EVER, and when confronted by Mike Myers, begins a litany of MM history. That was cool. about 20 seconds long of cool.

The rest of the movie - standard "separate the teenagers and kill them off one-by-one" - not an extreme gorefest, just nothing new. PSS (pretty standard stuff)
