Rating: Summary: Standard 90's "Scream" fare. Review: I really had high hopes for Halloween H2O. I really wanted to see Jamie Lee reprise her role. But my heart sank when I saw that this movie was just another by-the-numbers slasher flick. It now has a glossy new 90's feel and pace for our society's ever shortening attention span. There are instances of wit and respect for the original Halloween in keeping the plot simple and gore to a bare minimum but there's nothing creative or scary here you anticipate ever single scare (which again resorts to loud and sudden orchestra hits) This film, I think, is just cashing in on the the success of Scream and carries alot of it's bubble gum style. I felt empty at the end credits because I was really looking foreward to a fresh experience. Even their marketing scheme is typical with the fresh expressionless faces of the stars emerging out of the dark to form a row of faces. Really! Are they trying to show off their diverse collaboration, showing how different cool people can make a cool movie? Or were they impressed by the Gap commercials and just had to steal their style? Oh God. I'm so sorry Jamie Lee but this movie should have been something else. Jamie Lee should have back out of this movie or at least waited for a fine tuned script.
Rating: Summary: The Finale of 3 Review: Okay, I'm sure that if given an opportunity, those responsible would apologize for 3-6. Yeah, 4 was okay, but it is pointless after seeing this one. I highly recommend this set-up: "Halloween", "Halloween 2", and "Halloween H20" as a trilogy, ignoring the others. The plot line is much more coherent. The best part about this movie is that Jaime Lee Curtis is in it! Finally! Laurie and Michael battling it out bring the characters to their peaks. Laurie finally becomes the heroin we all knew she was destined to be. It is rewarding to watch her transform from the scared victim we knew in the first 2, to the ax-wielding fighter that makes even Michael beg for mercy. The final scene will leave you tingling. I promise.
Rating: Summary: Horror, as in HORRIBLE Review: The cast of Dawson's Creek runs around doing nothing while our beloved villian walks around them, making us think someones gonna get sliced, but never does. Jamie Lee returns (from death?), with complete amnesia of her daughter who we watched in the last 3 movies, and magically lives way out in CA, because as we all know, what could be trendier? The worst part is that we all know that Mike will always come back, that film makers will always ressurect him: now they have to come up with a way to staple his head back on. But at least Mike gets killed. It seems like nobody else does in this abomination of a movie. Of all the horror films I've seen this one had the lowest body count, as well as intellegence. To divirve any pleasure from something like this, you would have to be clinically braindead. I get more excitement from deoderant, and get more scares from the idea that people get paid to make this garbage. Pointless, thrilless, stupid and dull, I cannot think of a worse sequel... other then THE PHANTOM MENACE.
Rating: Summary: ok Review: I think this movie was ok. It was not the best but it is still very scary and great for any halloween fans,And one of the questions is...is michale dead? Your sure convinced that hes dead but I guess will just have to find out in the next Halloween movie....Halloween-H2K:evil never dies.
Rating: Summary: Halloween H20 made no sense! Review: Do you remmber the classic Halloween films? Well this movie made no sense to me because after Halloween 2 Michael's skin was burnt to a crisp and in Halloween 4-6 his skin stayed that way.If you have burnt skin can that go away? Another thing that didn't ake any sense was did laurie ever menchion that she had a daughter that was killed by Michael?
Rating: Summary: It's never going to end! Review: Halloween is one of the greatest horror-series ever. And this last installment is a really terrifying production. Jamie Lee Curtis is back, and that is good, but Steve Miner has decieded to totally ignore parts 2-6. What a shame! Anyway, we also meet Adam Arkin and Michelle Williams, and we all know how professional they are.I can guareentee you, that a few good scares as always, are included this time also. The soundtrack is good, even if they didn't use the original Halloween theme, as the plan was from the beginning. Michael is as always, not a very nice person. And also the last scene where Jamie Lee is confonted with Michael, reminds me quite a lot of the scene in Halloween 6, when Michael kills Jamie (not Curtis) in the farm. And then to a conclusion. If you haven't already seen this movie, don't rent it. Buy it, because this is a movie that is worth owning!
Rating: Summary: end of days Review: one of my favorites. dont listen to the critics who bad mouth the film is was very good. the only reason i gave it a 4 star rating instead of five was because although it was a good movie the acting lacked in some ways. but still one very watchable movie
Rating: Summary: Great! Review: Michael Myers is finally dead (they chopped his head off, and if that doesn't kill him...nothing will)! In one viewpoint Laurie Strode can now stop having nightmares of Michael but on the other viewpoint it would have been more scary to have him escape death (once again!) and just know that......MICHAEL LIVES! Great suspense and atmosphere, like the ground breaking original. ~Recommended Highly~
Rating: Summary: God Bless Jamie Lee Curtis Review: I think the key to enjoying the "Halloween" series (with the exception of the unecessary part 3) is to look at it as 2 separate (but not remotely equal) trilogies. That said, "Halloween H20" is the perfect conclusion to the first 2 films. I choose to suppress the memory of parts 4-6 (the last of which made me physically ill), so when I learned Jamie Lee Curtis was returning, I was very pleased to know that the franchise didn't in fact die with Donald Pleasance. The story of "H20" is its strongest suit. To find Laurie Strode 20 years later in any other condition than completely dysfunctional, would have been unrealistic. You don't get stabbed, chased and generally spooked by your boogie man brother and not be nursing a few wounds. Jamie Lee Curtis' growth as an actress since the first 2 films allows her to play Laurie/Kerri truthfully and effectively. Some may complain that "H20" lacks the shadowy atmosphere of the original, which was never effectively replicated in its sequels. What Director, Steven Miner has done is take the style of the slick, self-referrential post-"Scream" horror flick and applied it to the monster who started the slasher genre in the first place. Janet Leigh's cameo is a brilliant touch to a script that has Laurie uttering dialogue verbatum from the original. At a mere 80 minute running time, "H20" gives you the set-up in the first half of the film and then proceeds to relentlessly pummel you with constant scares until the end credits. This movie NEVER gives you a chance to remove your hands from your eyes. The original "Halloween" is a bonafide classic and "Halloween: H20" is the perfect conclusion to a franchise that was in SERIOUS danger of becoming one that made you laugh instead of made you scream.
Rating: Summary: HALLOWEEN H2O Review: Halloween H2O is a great sequel.It may not be scary but it does do a good job of continuing the story of Laurie Strode.The best part of this movie is the ending. It makes you wonder how there going to bring michael back for Halloween 8. If you haven't seen this movie rent it! If your a Halloween fan Buy It!
