Plot:
Michael Myers kills off his sister, Laurie. While a TV producer, Freddie sets up a reality TV show at Mike’s childhood home, but the contestants get more than they asked for when Michael shows up and one by one kills off the cast and crew, Can anyone survive? Will Mike live to kill once more? How many damned sequels will there be?



Review:
This is, to date the 8th Halloween movie (Not including the remake) What’s any different with this one? Well its more of a teen slasher than the other ones, and its not as gory as some of them. But don’t get me wrong, there is some gore but just not a lot. The cool things about this movie is that it has a really fast pace, which means theres a pretty good bodycount and I was rarely bored during it, and if I’m rarely bored, your rarely bored Michael still has a air of fear around him as he stalks and kills off the cast and crew of the TV show. The movie can get very suspenseful at moments. But for the most part it is an above average teen slasher movie and not much more, except for the fact that it decides it kill off long time survivor Laurie Strode in a rather gruesome and quick scene.


Now the directing is pretty good for the most part, there are a couple of scenes that annoyed the hell outta me, mostly when it tried to use the webcams though. The acting is above average, and believe it or not but rapper Busta Rhymes apparently knows how to act, a hell of a lot better than his music at least, all though that’s not saying too much, for you fans of him reading this, don’t yell at me, he’s a cool dude just not a good musician I would watch this movie if you are a horror fan (of any sub-genre) or a slasher fan, no its not perfect, but its pretty damn good



Gore:
A headless body, a thing through one’s throat,
A knife in the head, a impalement, a decapitation,
And a lot of bloody stabbing



T&A:
Well there is a sex scene, but its pretty quick,
And you don’t see any nudity.




Bodycount: 12




Overall rating: 4/5
