Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

John Carpenter's homicidal hominid Michael Myers has again survived apparent death, and has his sights on six college students participating in a reality TV webcast live from his childhood home. Returning Halloween II director Rosenthal abandons the character development and slow-boiling tension that made 1998's H20 a guilty pleasure. Here, in the eighth film of the series, dialogue merely fills the space between slashings. Jamie Lee Curtis appears in a cameo and literally kisses off the series during a horribly tasteless confrontation with her butcher-boy brother.
