If Jason Voorhees can keep climbing out of his graves, there's no reason Michael Myers can't do the same.

Earlier this year, Jason, the hockey masked ghoul of the Friday the 13th horror series made his 10th appearance in Jason X.

In Halloween: Resurrection, the masked Myers returns for an eighth time or at least his franchise does because Michael didn't actually appear in Halloween 3: Season of the Witch.

It's not just Michael who's resurrected this time, but also Jamie Lee Curtis who played the demented stalker's sister Laurie in the first two installments and in the 20th anniversary episode Halloween H20.

Looking almost as scary as the demonic Michael, Curtis plays Laurie as a supposedly comatose patient in a mental hospital.

Kudos to Jamie Lee for forgoing all make-up and vanity and for throwing all subtlety to the four corners of her padded cell.

Actually Laurie only pretends to be blissed out beyond help, and is actually waiting for Michael to find her so she can kill him one more time.

The siblings do meet in a short, bloody encounter with Curtis promising to lay her involvement in the franchise to rest once and for all.

We'll believe that when we see it.

Curtis presumably returned as a courtesy to Rick Rosenthal who directed her in Halloween II and helms this attempt to inject new life into a true but very tired slasher flick.

Internet impresario Freddie Harris (rapper Busta Rhymes) knows a money making trick when he spies it.

Freddie announces he will send six nubile teens into Michael's old house to spend Halloween night.

This device allows Rosenthall to make much of Halloween: Resurrection play like The Blair Witch Project because each of the unsuspecting night visitors has a tiny video camera strapped to their body. It's far more annoying than scary.

To compensate for lack of logic in Halloween: Resurrection, Rosenthall provides ample carnage, bloody dismemberment and some peek-a-boo nudity.
