Masked serial killer
Michael Myers makes his seventh appearance in the eighth installment of this long-running
slasher series. Although the climax of the previous installment,
Halloween: H20, depicted heroine
Laurie Strode (
Jamie Lee Curtis) finally finishing off her brother/tormentor, the opening sequence of
Halloween: Resurrection reveals that
Laurie actually beheaded the wrong guy. Now confined to a mental institution, she quickly falls victim to her brother and longtime foe (played this time out by
Brad Loree). Cut to Haddonfield, IL, where a sextet of college students is assembling for the production of an online reality show in which they'll spend the night locked up in the killer's childhood home being filmed by dozens of cameras and broadcast over the Internet. Presided over by fast-talking producer
Freddie Harris (
Busta Rhymes) and his girlfriend/business partner,
Nora Winston (
Tyra Banks), the players range from fame-hungry
Jen (
Katee Sackhoff) and food-obsessed
Rudy (
Sean Patrick Thomas) to rakish
Jim (
Luke Kirby) and cerebral
Donna (
Daisy McCrackin). As these photogenic youngsters hunt for clues about
Michael's tortured childhood, engage in on-camera sexual escapades and discover the phony props planted by
Freddie and
Nora,
Michael arrives to stalk them relentlessly one by one. To complicate matters,
Freddie himself is skulking around in a
Michael Myers mask hoping to scare up some ratings. As the bodies begin to pile up, thoughtful cast member
Sara (
Bianca Kajlich) manages to survive thanks to wireless email instructions from high-school dork
Myles (
Ryan Merriman), but even the latest technology might not be enough to outwit
Michael Myers.
Halloween: Resurrection was directed by
Rick Rosenthal, who previously helmed 1981's
Halloween 2. The cast also features
Thomas Ian Nicholas of
American Pie and
Billy Kay of
