Quick Synopsis:

Michael Meyers finally concludes the rivalry with Laurie Strode, and then continues his rampage on reality TV. Producers Freddie and Nora, seek fame and fortune with the creation of a new live-reality-TV website called DangerTainment. For their first show, they select a group of six college students to explore the long-abandoned remains of the home of the murderer Michael Myers.

The Bad:

  • The introductory sequence was a half-baked attempt to make the story continuity fit into this totally random episode.
  • The Freddie Harris (Busta Rhymes) character was totally idiotic.  Can we have a do over?  Let’s kill him in the opening scene.
  • All the idiotic extra characters like Nora (Tyra Banks), Scott, etc.
  • There was too much switching between the low quality headset cameras and actual shots.
  • DangerTainment is the best they could come up with?

The Good:

  • The internet and PDA communication with Deckard.
  • Skeletons fall on half naked Donna character.
  • The creepy clown guy in the asylum that Michael actually doesn’t kill.

Final Thoughts:

As with any installment of the Halloween series you don’t expect much different from the usual formula; however this time I think we have seen the idea-well run dry. The first fifteen minutes of the movie play are like part of a different movie. This movie cost $13 million to make and I have a feeling half of that probably went to Busta Rhymes. This was a totally random and disappointing installment to the Jamie Lee Curtis era Halloween franchise.
