Unstoppable killing machine Michael Myers returns again (decently explained in the opening sequence) for this eighth entry in the series that has director Rick Rosenthal returning to the franchise (he also directed part 2).

This time out Michael starts picking-off some college age students at his old abandoned house when web moguls Busta Rhymes (who talks too much) and Tyra Banks are staging a "webcast" to the World that has six people having to spend the night in the home of a notorious serial killer.

After seeing trailers and learning of the premise hopes weren't high for this sequel but really the whole story idea turns out to work a bit better than expected and thanks to the films good sense of humour (people watching the webcast announcing a real murder they just saw as "fake" and the scene with Busta in a Myers costume) and director Rosenthal using his chance to get all stylish with the camera thanks to the technological aspect of the script (he uses the "webcam" idea to full effect) this turns out to be a muscular and watchable sequel that might not be the best of the set but will still please the fans of the later films in the series (mostly notably H20 and part 5).

There's the typical set-up for a sequel and a few forgiveable plot holes on hand.
