Halloween: Resurgence 

I find it especially telling that these fans got together and made something that was better than two attempts by Rob Zombie with studio backing. Kudos, filmmakers. You've done the Shape proud.

This has got to be the most accurate Halloween fan film I've ever seen, excellent job!

Very nicely done . Had that " authentic " Halloween movie feel to it throughout most of it . Would enjoy seeing you do another :)

I passed up Netflix and Hulu tonight and watched this instead on a whim at 3am -- alone in the dark. As someone whose seen all the studio Halloween films, I still quite enjoyed your movie. This was a labor of love and that's what fan films should be. You really captured the tone and spirit, and portrayed The Shape effectively. Nice work & thanks for the entertainment.

The best of the fan films I've seen to date. It captures the mood of the first two films 75% of the time, if not more. Very impressive. The idea of the plot taking place at, Smiths Grove Sanitarium,, was not only a great original concept, but it was also the right one. Bravo!

I remember watching this 9 years ago. I thought it was official, seeing it now it still holds up and it's fantastic!!!!

Darren Jones has to direct the next Halloween movie. John Carpenter is involved with it, so I really hope he has some say in it and doesn't let Blumhouse release some shitty cash grab. This fan film was such a great film, and it was shot in 10 days. That's pretty damn impressive. John Carpenter and the people at Blumhouse need to see this. We, the people of the internet need to make it happen! Who's with me on this?

I got 45 jump scares in me while watching this whole thing. I really appreciate your hard work on this. It was so good that I had into literally jumon2 Steps at a time to get to my parents room

First day of shooting was August 24th this year. This was made specifically for a Fan Film festival that didn't end up happening. 10 days (3 weekends) of shooting, 3 weeks editing and 2 weeks of music composition. And we finished September 30th, 2012

Not bad; some of the parts with Mikey were pretty suspenseful and brought me back to the first two Halloween movies. You nailed his look and mannerisms just right and the mask is finally correct, after each sequel after two got it totally wrong.

This is beyond impressive. This is outstanding and I was completely glued .... I loved it! I have to say whoever played Michael Meyers was spot on.. Additionally, the mask is IDENTICAL to the one in the original film in every aspect.

Oh wow, finally a fan film with good production value, editing, acting, camerawork...nice! There needs to be more like this. Original stories, fan sequels. Excellent!

The movie was good I enjoyed it. The guy playing Michael was great. I've been a Michael Myers fan for years!

I will forever be a Michael Myers fan this is a nice movie great job

By far the best Halloween fan film. Good work.

Bring a lifetime Halloween fan y’all did an awesome job!!!

This is really good, outstanding for a fan film. The last 20 or so minutes were so tense, and I haven't felt anything like that for a very long time. Well done :D

Man this was a damn good fan-film, to be honest I actually enjoyed this a lot more than a lot of the sequels and remakes, You guys kept it simple but subtle just like the 1978 original.

Ahh this is great. I have seen 2 amazing fan films tonight. People complain about bad or overacting but they forget, this isn't JLC, these are fans. Far better than I could have done and I am obsessed with Halloween. Fan films usually make me sad because they don't really appreciate the film but I think you guys did great!

I could actuality see this apart of the franchise

55 minutes that were far more entertaining than Halloween Ends. I’d be super excited to see what this team could do with a bigger budget 🔥🔪🎃

Really great job on this fan film guys. Once they got to the sanitarium, it really picked up and had a good vibe. The shot at 37:12 was the most "Halloween" feeling moment since 1981's second Halloween in the series, as the mask you chose was the best since the original mask as well. To make a film like this is MUCH harder than most people realize. To the makers of this film, you should be be very proud of what you accomplished with it. Really nice job, with some legit cool and scary moments.

Been skimming through the movie. MIn 38 when he goes down underground was pretty epic... Fantastic job!!!

Came back to watch this years later. You guys are awesome, especially knowing your past work in the 90s in producing other fan films. You should be proud of it!

This Fan Film was aamazing. the scenes underground in the basement or boiler where the fake Michael was found dead in that long narrow walk way, Reminded me of Halloween 6 (theatrical cut) when Michael chasing tommy Kara and Danny toward the end of that film

Loved the attention to detail you had for Michael Myers, like the upturned collar, the way he faces forward when going down stairs, etc. Also lots of homeage paid to other films in the Halloween franchise. Loved it!!!

41:47 with Michael Myers coming down the stairs is classic Halloween. Good job Darren.

Great movie, the guy who played Michael Myers did a great job..

"I have an idea...let's split up" I have an idea....let's NOT be here in the 1st place. .

omg!!! almoast pissed my pants at the end!

This movie is better than Resurrection by a long shot. Two thumbs up to whoever made this.

You guys that made this, wasn't to bad a job. You had the credits beginning the sort of introduction, the suspense the sound effects. For a B grade movie I actually enjoyed. Keep on going, you will make a teriffic movie one day

Last time I watched this I was 11 and now I’m 19 and I can’t believe how great this is🥰

I find it funny the criticism these fan films get. There is more effort & love put into these film than Hollywood could ever dream of. AMAZING JOB GUYS..... THANKS

The virtually indestructible/unkillable Superhuman Physique/Supernatural Boogeyman strikes again!

I just realized this was 8 years ago and he predicted the next 2 Halloween films lol

For a low budget movie with limited time and crew this isn't bad :D

You can see that Darren's strengths are in directing. The opening sequence is a wonderful tribute to Halloween 4's eerie beginning. I can see how Halloween 4 and Halloween 6 inspired Darren's vision for this movie. Darren does a great job of filming Michael and that's where this movie shines. The chase scenes, the ambience of Michael's presence, and the death scenes are strong. The weakness of this film is the writing. This is not necessarily a bad script, but it lacks sequential unity. I teach all of my screenwriting students to make sure that each scene pushes the plot of the film forward. The audience must feel that each scene has relevance. For example, the opening scene of 4 random teens discussing their lives adds nothing to the story. You lose the audience's attention immediately. They come to see Michael's story not four random people with vague character traits. What this script needed was an action opening that somehow connects us back to one of the Halloween sequels (i.e. H20 or Halloween 6). There must be an immediate hook at the start, something with substance. Look at how H20 begins with Marion Chambers arriving to find her home broken into, or look at the great ambulance scene on a rainy night in Halloween 4. Both of these openings hook the audience. I would love to see Darren find a strong writer to see what he can do with a more cohesive script. Keep going Darren. You have the visual talent. Now find a good writer, and the two of you can make an amazing Halloween Fan Movie.

Okay I'm really impressed this is actually pretty good compared to Rob Zombie's remake. I like the references to the original Halloween movies. You keep this up you will be on you're way to the big screen.

thank you so much I have ben looking for this for ever

"maybe I'll convince the guys to do something else in the morning" "thanks sweety" morning in kitchen "she's all freaked out, doesn't wanna go to the sanitarium" "oh, dude we don't have to go, we can do something else" "nah, she's a big girl, she can take care of herself" this guy is like the king of the douches lol

Whoever played Michael really did a hell of a job! Not since H2 orginal[and my fave] has Michael looked/acted so good.......Sign this guy up for the next Halloween film! Some of the scenes/cast reminded me of Ressurection. Nice job of Michael appearing in the shadows right behind the "fake" one.Instant chills! Well written and acted! You guys may not have had the huge budget that Zombie had, but you certainly did MUCH better than anything Zombie accomplished! The entertainment buisness is a hard one - but you guys are on the right track getting your stuff recognized by higher powers.........Please make another one!!!

Great job! Actually really well done and entertaining. Loved the Michael stalking around the locked car scene! It amazes me that independent fan films can have better masks and better Michael's than hollywood releases!

Knock it all you want, its a decent film with a good mask and they care enough about the hobby to make one

Legend says the security guard is still eating that sandwich

Who's still watching in 2024

This is what the recent Halloween movies have been missing! The autumn atmosphere with the corn fields in the beginning and orange color tones with oak trees falling in the ground is perfect for a Halloween movie!

Great movie!!!Michael Myers fan forever

Bro i love the shot were the fake Michael Myers was stalking then the real one was stalking the fake one

Happy Halloween to the entire cast of this great fan film and congrats to making it to over 2 mil views!!!

didnt know what to expect from a fan made....looked very professional even had the john carpenter famous halloween theme this deserve to have a sequel if it hasnt yet............loved this movie..... .

whoever shot this knows about film making look at the shots of myers walking down stairs, his shadows. all greatyl done

Great fucking fan film! The dude playing The Shape has the movements down like a boss. Would love to see another.

Halloween: Resurgence II they can totally do it!!

the death of the gas clerk was EVERYTHING

That house in the opening credits is creepy. Love it

AND THERE IT IS 😂😂 i was waiting for it & they delivered The classic horror movie trip & fall at 48.59

Truly GREAT fan film, especially considering the production time frame. Congrats to your entire cast & team! We all appreciate the love that went into this... and it really shows. A great mask, awesome music, suspense, darkness, likable characters and next to no blood are all elements that make a great Halloween film. Bravo!

it deserves 5 stars it was pretty descent I've watched all the fan films this one by far the best one the mask is a exact match which is not a easy feet but keep them coming I mean really you can work the kinks out as you go and they'll just get better and better

I can't believe I've only just found this film!

This is up there as one of the best fan films in my opinions everything was executed perfectly from the music, the angles, the characters and the plot

Love the loomis reference from Halloween 4

Top notch production, guys! The cinematography was very well done and the mask you used was spot on! Loved the "Akkad Gas" station, you guys are funny! Looking forward to any other projects in the future!

I can honestly say I really enjoyed this I am such a fan of all the original Halloweens I truly think you guys did an amazing job of this

This was a really great fan made film! Obviously it wasn't a big Hollywood production but I think y'all did the best with what resources you had. Really impressed. There were a lot of creepy parts that made me jump! The opening reminded me of H4 which is one of my faves from the series. Any other upcoming projects? I'm an actor and I'd love to be a part of some of y'all's work.

This movie is insane

Man this film was awesome front to back! The best one I’ve seen, even better than the ones made after this! Great job!

The part when the lady when she was pretending to be choked by Michael was funny lol😂😂😂 but overall it was good I like it.💙💙💙💛💛💛💜💜💜💚💚❤❤

I love Halloween Resurgence this should have can to DVD.

Excellent film my fav so far.

I'm disappointed that no one noticed that they paid tribute to the grandfather of the series Mr akkad for the name of the gas station! Great movie guys🎃

BRAVO to Darren Jones! Perfect!

Awesome film, great acting!! I love Halloween. From the first time I saw it in the early 80's when I was 8, by myself, it was on late night and scared the sh## out of me, I have loved Halloween. To this day, it still freaks me out. In my opinion, the greatest horror movie of all time. Part II is right up there with it. Very scary! You guys did a great job making this film!!

This was the original mask and I loved the pacing of the movie! Very well done 👍 great fan film!

Akkad Gas, nice touch!

Damn, that was one good movie 👍

I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to see this, you've done a superb job, well done guys, I hope John Carpenter has seen this.

Great movie!! My favorite scene is toward the end when Michael Myers sees the girl in the truck outside and tries to get in the vehicle... very good job.... love love love this movie!!!

It really started getting good at 30:00 .. This is better than the recent flops.

Just watched.....An incredible addition...wish it was made into the franchise!😍

Better than Halloween 6!!

Good job good acting good kill sequence. The shape moved just like Nick Castle! Dam good. Thank you!

I was hoping Rebecca would be smarter and just keep driving after she hit him haha. All in all though, awesome job and at only a few mins past 50 in length it definitely kept the pace moving. I also loved the underground part of the sanitarium, as it gave me vibes to the opening of Ressurection which was really the best part of that movie haha, the opening 10 mins of it. Good stuff everyone.

The only thing better than watching Michael Myers drive a goddamn Honda Odyssey would have been if he could have stolen a VW Beatle. Excellent fan film

No matter how fast u run Michael Myers walks faster

this is really decent, the tight budget enables a more realistic depiction that wouldn't have been captured with a hollywood style budget. Love Halloween and MM, hope to see more.

Wow absolutely wow what a master piece This is Brilliant

This fan made film was better than any of the Halloween sequels and remakes. Well done.

Fantastic opening title sequence :) love it

Wow! This is definitely one of the better Halloween fan films I've seen!

I had no idea this was in existence. This is the most brilliant fan film I have ever seen in any genre. You have captured all the unique moments of what makes Halloween and have paid homage to (from what i felt and saw and experienced) not only the original Halloween but 2, 4, 5, 6, H2O and Resurrection in my opinion. In fact, you have just given me closure with the timelines for 4, 5, and 6 as well as H2O and Resurrection as individual timelines and that coupled with the new Halloween next month makes it on helluva special 4oth anniversary for sure. Well done indeed. Including Smith's Grove in the storyline as well as the grown up boys from the original makes it all the better in light of the connections the other films made to the original was brilliant and you captured everything perfectly in a way a writer/storyteller/filmmaker hopes to achieve and did a fine service to adding to this wonderful franchise of stories. Thank you for concluding the stories for me from my perspective... perhaps thats what you were trying to do with this story but if not, you certainly made an impact that way. Ending it the way you did, well that's almost a perfect ending to the entire matter because, well, evil is always out there and the boogey man is unstoppable and endures by the very nature of it so while there is always more story to tell, the open endedness is quite logical. Bravo and a standing ovation to all who made this.

Strangerathome, That was amazing. I have seen many fan films, but yours was one of the best. Everything was great: the sound, the lighting, the acting, and the slow, creepy build-up. It actually captured the first film superbly and I hope to see more.

Liked it! Bravo to cast and crew!

Wow great work guys I was pretty entertained

ok i have to say this is by far the best one i have seen since the original halloween this had a great story line great actors and the caraters werre great as well good lighting and you got me from the begining it was a great film i think it should be conceterd a caissic.

Better than Halloween Resurrection and the sequel to Rob Zombie's remake, that's for sure.

Never turn on Michael!

This was so good! I loved it! Great job! It actually kinda scared me!

One of the best fan made films that I have watched! The guy that played THE SHAPE nailed it. It keep my attention all the way through. I have watched alot of these and most were horrible but not this one. Please make more!!!

Very well made! Keep it up!
