Halloween: Resurrection

Halloween: Resurrection is a 2002 American slasher film directed by Rick Rosenthal from a screenplay written by Larry Brand and Sean Hood. It is the sequel to Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998) and the eighth installment of the Halloween franchise. It stars Busta Rhymes, Bianca Kajlich, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Ryan Merriman, Sean Patrick Thomas, Tyra Banks, and Jamie Lee Curtis, with Brad Loree as Michael Myers. This was the final installment of the H20 timeline of the Halloween franchise, which had just been rebooted with the previous film in 1998, before it was rebooted again in 2007 with a remake and again in 2018. The film follows Myers continuing his murderous rampage in his hometown of Haddonfield when his childhood house is used for a live internet horror show.

Halloween: Resurrection was released by Dimension Films on July 12, 2002, and was critically panned, with critics considering it an unnecessary sequel to Halloween H20 and deeming it to be one of the worst films in the Halloween franchise. Although the film is technically a box office success, grossing $37.6 million worldwide against a $15 million budget, it was considered an underperformance at the box office, in contrast to its predecessor earning $75 million. The next film in the franchise was a 2007 remake of the 1978 film directed by Rob Zombie.
