The first time through watching Halloween Resurrection, I passed out. Now granted, I was on some heavy medication, but that really only should have made the movie better. It did not. The second time through, I dozed.
Halloween Resurrection moves more quickly than most of the others in the series, but that couldn't save a weak story - one you've seen a hundred times before in at least 100 other movies. The scares are telegraphed, the acting is passable, the direction is typical for the genre. The story has already been used in at least 1000 other films and will be used in 1000 more before it's all said and done, and the writing matches its creativity.
If I had to sum up Halloween Resurrection in one word, it would be "uninspired."
