A pretty horrible movie. This film bends over backwards to change the ending of the previous film. Then kills the lead character, doesn't follow mythology at all by having Michael not go after John. Only to then change to a bunch of uninteresting, unlikable, bad acting young college students with shitty camera qualities walking around the Myers house looking for why he kills people? Cause 20 plus years of investigation by police and FBI would have found nothing right? It kills me knowing that the last film in the original series ended with Bust Rhymes using karate to kill Michael Myers!

Oh and btw about the "retcon". It isn't really a retcon, it was pre-planned before the H20 was even shot. The shot in the beginning of resurrection of Michael in a paramedic outfit holding a knife was shot right after filming H20 lol

Basically JLC wanted to make a halloween film where she kills Michael. By ending him and the series and giving her character a cathartic ending. So when she read the script and read the open end she asked why? She was told there was a clause saying you can't kill Michael. She was really upset but agreed to do the film as long as Laurie and the audience both think Michael is dead (the ending of H20 doesn't hint at a sequel)

So she decided to do resurrection just because her character would be killed off and she would be done with the series. It just sucks she was fucked over in the contract when the film was her idea in the first place, also the fact that her death scene sucked and the reasoning for Michael to be alive was ridiculous (The paramedic twist was pitched to her before shooting H20 so she knew about it) H20 ends with her decapitating Michael Myers even though she knows that isn't him lol
