History Film / HalloweenResurrection

** For the first time in over 20 years, the Myers house is the absolute closest to how it appeared in the first and second films albeit in a state of extreme neglect and disrepair. The house wasn't featured in ''[[Film/Halloween4TheReturnOfMichaelMyers Halloween 4]]'' or ''H20'' and was [[SeriesContinuityError infamously]] made into a gothic mansion in [[Film/Halloween5TheRevengeOfMichaelMyers the fifth film]]. The Myers house in the [[Film/HalloweenTheCurseOfMichaelMyers sixth film]] was somewhat closer to the original even though there were still some architectural deviations. Here, apart from a never-before seen broken picket fence and garage, the house itself actually resembles how it did since its last appearance in 1981.

* ConfrontingTheImposter: Halfway through the film, Michael comes face-to-face with Freddie, who's dressed as Michael. Freddie doesn't even realize that he's face to face with the real Michael (he thinks it's Charlie) and tells him to beat it, which Michael does... for some reason.

* DeadPersonImpersonation: Sorta. Michael certainly wasn't intending to pretend to be Charlie, but Freddie thought he was Charlie, and Michael rolled with that when they came face-to-face

* DwindlingParty: The main plot after the prologue, with several college students and crew members in the Myers house being hunted by Michael.

* TheManTheyCouldntHang

* OffWithHisHead: The deaths of both an asylum guard and [[spoiler:Jen]] (the latter being decapitated [[ArtisticLicensePhysics with a single swing of a regular kitchen knife]]).

* BackForTheDead: [[spoiler: Jamie Lee Curtis only agreed to be in the film so she could be killed off and therefore not star in another]].

* OffWithHisHead: The deaths of both an asylum guard and [[spoiler: Jen]] (the latter being decapitated [[ArtisticLicensePhysics with a single swing of a regular kitchen knife]]).

** [[spoiler: Rudy's impalement]] to a door with ''three knives''.
** [[spoiler: Donna]] also gets killed by being impaled on the spike from a cage door.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: At the conclusion of the prologue, Michael, after [[spoiler:killing Laurie]] goes to give his knife back to the patient that he took it from. When he does so, he hands it to him with the "safe" end first. That's right, kids. Even a psychotic, inhumane serial killer/mass murderer knows (a) the importance of returning something that you borrowed, and (b) the proper way to hand someone a sharp object. Either that, or [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation he was trying to make sure the inmate's fingerprints were on the weapon.]]

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Creator/KateeSackhoff's death. Michael decapitates her in one stroke ''with a one-foot-long kitchen knife''. There are cartoons that don't make a mockery of physics as bad as that.
** To add insult to injury, her character's head somehow manages to fly off at a right angle to the direction it SHOULD have gone, allowing it to roll down the stairs for dramatic effect. Momentum is apparently out to lunch, too.

* FinalGirl: Sara Moyer.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Rudy's impalement to a door with ''three knives''.

* OffWithHisHead: The deaths of both an asylum guard and Jenna (the latter being decapitated [[ArtisticLicensePhysics with a single swing of a regular kitchen knife]]).

* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler:Laurie herself]] in the opening. This was enforced by Jamie Lee Curtis herself, as she was contractually obliged to be in the movie, but wanted to ensure she would never appear in another sequel.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Many fans, some may argue the majority if not all, tend to ignore this one and view ''H20'' as the true conclusion to the franchise.
** And how! [[spoiler: Laurie should be the one to not die and defeat Michael....not Busta Rhymes.]]

After the film {{retcon}}s certain events that happened at the end of ''[[Film/HalloweenH20TwentyYearsLater Halloween H20]],'' '''''Halloween: Resurrection''''' picks up on Michael Myers who now lives a quiet life in a system of tunnels beneath his old home in Haddonfield, Illinois. However, his domestic peace ends up shattered as the house becomes the basis for an Internet reality show called "Dangertainment", where a group of teenagers get roped into spending a night in it, and those who manage to stay the whole night win a nice prize for their trouble -- all while the Internet watches.

The film was widely panned by fans, critics, and audiences alike (though it did decent box office), and is often considered the worst film in the ''Halloween'' franchise. It currently marks the final film of [[Franchise/{{Halloween}} the original series]] as started by ''[[Film/{{Halloween 1978}} Halloween]]''; Rob Zombie rebooted the franchise in 2007 with [[Film/{{Halloween 2007}} a remake of the first film]].

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Averted. One black character makes it to the end and those who don't aren't the first to be killed.

-> ''"You've heard of the tunnel?. The one we all go through sooner or later? At the end, there's a door. And waiting for you on the other side of that door is either Heaven or Hell. This is that door."''

* BetterManhandleTheMurderWeapon: [[spoiler: Michael hands his knife to serial killer fanboy Harold, which he graciously accepts, not knowing it had just been used in several murders and he's taking the fall for them.]]
