Not that it’s a terribly big deal, but for completionists…here’s a heads up.
I just pre-ordered the H8 Blu Ray which releases 4/17 & Wal-Mart.com currently has it listed for $7.50 plus under $2.00 shipping when everywhere else has it listed for like $15 or more.
Echo Bridge is putting this out and they are using masters from the DVD release so don’t expect anything super clean; they did the same thing with Halloween 6 and Halloween H20, they used the DVD masters instead of creating new transfers.
I expected nothing more than bare bones for under $10. It’s too bad, the later Halloweens could be spruced up quite a bit with extras. The divimax editions of H4 and H5 are awesome. If only we could get blu rays like that with true 1080p versions.
Got mine today from Best Buy for 7.99. Shocked cause I didn’t even know this was coming out. Not my favorite but I guess its nice to have on blu-ray. Plus I think Brad Loree did a good job with Michael Myers. Alittle grainy in parts so definitely not the best transfer. I really hope they do 4 and 5 justice with great picture and sound!

I have the Echo Bridge H20 Blu-ray release, and thought the picture quality was alright. Is this Resurrection release the same? Also, I believe H20 was only 2.1 sound, is this 5.1?
I have the H20 one too and like the quality. A little better I think. Resurrection is good but very grainy throughout. I’m watching on a 1080p HDTV 60 Hz so it may look better on newer sets.
Man, two things I forgot about H8 that make me cringe:
How bad Busta and Tyra are. They make me grit my teeth!
How bad the technology was. I really think the cellphones, internet, cams all look dated even for 2002. I expected to see dial-up in this by how they interpet it!
Hooked up my blu-ray to a 120Hz HDTV and the picture definitely looks worse for H8. Popped in H20 for comparison and while its still not great, it does fair better than H8.
I thought Resurrection was a pretty bad movie! It’s along the lines of what you see on the SyFy channel (like a SyFy original movie or something).
Tyra and Busta make it a joke, and I agree with you on the technology used in the film. Overall, I think Halloween 1-7 were actually good, but Resurrection felt like it was “made for TV/straight to video” (which it was I think).
Some parts were fun, but the beginning of the movie (after Jaime Lee Curtis, but before the fun starts) was hard to watch.
Thats the problem. There is no plot. After they finished the Laurie Strode story in the first 10 minutes it’s like they didnt know what to do. I mean, I get it. HE came home. But the whole reality internet crap was stupid. It was not “Halloween”. They completely forgot that Laurie had a son. Wouldnt it make sense for Michael to then go after him?
I totally forgot about Laurie’s son. It would have been interesting to see Josh Hartnett reprise his roll after H20. Instead, we got a terrible movie followed by the Rob Zombie remakes (which I also dislike).
Why do you folks put this so nicley??the worst movie in the history and the worst actors that can be found out there all put togheter deserve the truth!!its nothing more than pure rotten old stinkin SHIT and pure GARBAGE that should have been burned and banned for a loong time ago
That some is willing to pay to watch this pure SHIT is beyond my imagination! and even wanna see it in HD??like it isnt BAD ENOUGH as it is on DVD quality?? OMFG…not even from a collectors view i can understand why they want this SHIT of a movie,i wouldnt see it if i had got payed 100$ for it so bad is this so called movie and the pepole acting in it…
IT makes me sick just to think about that SHIT of a movie and those poor actors there, especially busta wanna be fuckin cool gangsta sucks rapper and tyra banks,its so bad i dont have words too cover it,
