 "Sad nonsense, this. But not without cheesy fun factor."
-- Gregory Weinkauf, NEW TIMES
"Only a few minutes elapse before the daddy of all slashers arrives, still with the boiler suit and white mask, which look remarkably clean for a guy who has been mass-murdering since 1978 but has never been seen doing laundry."
-- Ian Waldron-Mantgani, UK CRITIC
"Guilty of the worst sin of attributable to a movie like this: it's not scary in the slightest."
-- Phil Villarreal, ARIZONA DAILY STAR
"Pretty much sucks, but has a funny moment or two."
-- John Venable, SUPERCALA.COM
"Simply a re-hash of the other seven films."
-- Tony Toscano, TALKING PICTURES
"By the miserable standards to which the slasher genre has sunk,...actually pretty good. Of course, by more objective measurements it's still quite bad."
-- Frank Swietek, ONE GUY'S OPINION
"It's exactly what you’d expect."
-- Paul Salfen, SUPERCALA.COM
"Resurrection has the dubious distinction of being a really bad imitation of the really bad Blair Witch Project."
-- Audrey Rock-Richardson, TOOELE TRANSCRIPT-BULLETIN (UTAH)
"Hard-core slasher aficionados will find things to like ... but overall the Halloween series has lost its edge."
-- Bryan Reesman, CITYSEARCH
"...one resurrection too many."
-- John J. Puccio, DVDTOWN.COM
 "Halloween: Resurrection is surprisingly effective, especially the opening sequence featuring the showdown between Laurie and Michael."
-- David Nusair, REEL FILM REVIEWS
"Rosenthal (Halloween II) seems to have forgotten everything he ever knew about generating suspense."
-- Maitland McDonagh, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
"Replacing John Carpenter's stylish tracking shots is degraded, handheld Blair Witch video-cam footage. Of all the Halloween's, this is the most visually unappealing."
-- Jeremiah Kipp, FLIPSIDE MOVIE EMPORIUM

"Much of the cast is stiff or just plain bad."
-- Derek Tse, JAM! MOVIES
"If this is the resurrection of the Halloween franchise, it would have been better off dead."
-- Tor Thorsen, REEL.COM
"Holy mad maniac in a mask, Splat-Man! Good old-fashioned slash-and-hack is back!"
-- Alex Sandell, JUICY CEREBELLUM
"No new plot conceptions or environmental changes, just different bodies for sharp objects to rip through."
-- Shaun Sages, MOVIE NAVIGATOR
"The only fun part of the movie is playing the obvious game. You try to guess the order in which the kids in the house will be gored."
-- Steve Rhodes, STEVE RHODES' INTERNET REVIEWS
"At the bottom rung of the series' entries."
-- Dustin Putman, THEMOVIEBOY.COM
"An unsatisfying hybrid of Blair Witch and typical stalk-and-slash fare, where the most conservative protagonist is always the last one living."
-- Mark Palermo, COAST (HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA)
"The movie is like a year late for tapping into our reality tv obsession, and even tardier for exploiting the novelty of the "webcast.""
-- Eugene Novikov, FILM BLATHER
"A Blair Witch- style adventure that plays like a bad soap opera, with passable performances from everyone in the cast."
-- Wesley Lovell, APOLLO GUIDE
"Halloween: Resurrection isn't exactly quality cinema, but it isn't nearly as terrible as it cold have been."
-- Beth Jones, ROANOKE TIMES (VIRGINIA)

"Every sequel you skip will be two hours gained. Consider this review life-affirming."
-- Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE
"This latest installment of the horror film franchise that is apparently as invulnerable as its trademark villain has arrived for an incongruous summer playoff, demonstrating yet again that the era of the intelligent, well-made B movie is long gone."
-- Frank Scheck, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"Its premise is smart, but the execution is pretty weary."
-- Jennie Punter, GLOBE AND MAIL
"Generic slasher-movie nonsense, but it's not without style."
-- John Monaghan, DETROIT FREE PRESS
"The thrill is (long) gone."
-- Tom Maurstad, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"It's so devoid of joy and energy it makes even Jason X ... look positively Shakesperean by comparison."
-- Lou Lumenick, NEW YORK POST
"No, it's not as single-minded as John Carpenter's original, but it's sure a lot smarter and more unnerving than the sequels."
-- Glenn Lovell, SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS
"[Seems] even more uselessly redundant and shamelessly money-grubbing than most third-rate horror sequels."
-- Joe Leydon, VARIETY
"Like its parade of predecessors, this Halloween is a gory slash-fest. It can't escape its past, and it doesn't want to."
-- Loren King, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"Spectators will indeed sit open-mouthed before the screen, not screaming but yawning."
-- Dave Kehr, NEW YORK TIMES

"The film's trailer also looked like crap, so crap is what I was expecting."
-- JoBlo, JOBLO'S MOVIE EMPORIUM
