Halloween Resurrection Review Rant by WWAM

Halloween: Resurrection Review

Jay and Mike deliver a furious, joke-filled rant about Halloween: Resurrection, calling it one of the worst entries in the series.

The Opening and Laurie Strode

The hosts give the opening some credit, praising the music, camera work, and Jamie Lee Curtis’s return as Laurie Strode. They think Laurie gets a decent send-off—until the film’s explanation for how Michael survived Halloween H20 derails the moment. They mock the convoluted switcheroo involving a man dressed as Michael, as well as Laurie’s hesitation when Michael is right in front of her.

The Reality-Show Premise

The film’s reality-show setup becomes a main target. The hosts joke that Michael is practically the victim when a crew of irritating actors invades his home to film. They also poke fun at the underground tunnels beneath the house, imagining Michael in overalls, doing home repairs, and taking breaks to chase rats.

Busta Rhymes and the Showdown

Busta Rhymes gets especially harsh treatment. Jay and Mike criticize his acting and ridicule the film for making Michael seem intimidated by him. They find the martial-arts showdown absurd and roast the “crispy fried chicken” taunt that follows.

The hosts aren’t impressed by Michael’s mask, either. One jokes that his hair looks surprisingly well-kept for someone living in a basement.

Verdict

They find a few of the deaths acceptable, but little else stands out. Their verdict is scathing, with almost all their praise reserved for the opening sequence.

At the end, they name Will Smith and, apparently, Shia LaBeouf as their favorite rapper-turned-actor picks.
