Every Halloween Movie Ranked Worst To Best

13. Halloween: Resurrection

While there have been a good few stinkers in the Halloween franchise, Busta Rhymes laying out Michael Myers with some kung fu moves was always going to land Halloween: Resurrection the bottom spot on this list.

Anticipation was actually relatively high for Resurrection, with its predecessor - Halloween H20 - viewed as welcome return for the franchise, not to mention Halloween II director Rick Rosenthal was back in the chair to helm this 2002 picture.

To be fair, the idea of placing fame-seeking wannabes in the Myers House on Halloween night for a live stream, was actually quite a novel concept at the time of release. The problem is, it was tough to root for any of said wannabes as they were just so annoying.

Add in the opening scene death of Laurie Strode, the ridiculous explanation of how Michael survived H20, that sequence of Busta Rhymes getting the better of the iconic Shape, and it's easy to see why this picture soured long-standing franchise fans.
