Rating: Summary: toms halloween h20 review Review: Halloween h20 is excellent, full of supense and violence. It is far better than 3,4,5, and 6 and is just a bit better than 1 & 2. It is spooky in parts with bits of humour but as a horror film it is great. I would definitley recommend it to other horror fans and if you like blood,guts,gore,to be scared and watch a maniac slaughter some school kids then rent it ! 1 its great 9 out of 10 ! reviewed by Tom Mercer Colne, Lancashire, England. 01282 829828 bb8onb mark.mercer@calderglen.net
Rating: Summary: Laurie vs Mike III Review: I found this movie to be more of a novelty item to the original's greatness. I think Steve Miner could have used more gore (i.e. F-13 2 & 3) and maybe they should have changed the plot to have Myers on his old stomping grounds. Anyway, it was pretty cool, LL Cool J as fun laughing at, but why didn't Michael choke his annoying a@@ like he did to the guy in Part I? Maybe then I would give this five stars. H20 just makes the original look even better.
Rating: Summary: It's not the first one, but, what the hell ! Review: Okay, alright, that's not the first and original Halloween, the director isn't John Carpenter, is Steve Miner, ok, ok. But, god, what the hell, it's Michael Myers and Laurie Strode, together for a last revenge after long twenty years ! Jamie Lee Curtis still made a wonderful job, as a very beautiful and intelligent Laurie Strode and Michael Myers still very cruel ( not scary ). And there's the ultimate scene where mother meets daughter : Janet Leigh, Marion Crane from Psycho with Jamie Lee Curtis from the original Halloween. Can you handle that ? And after all, Janet says : "Let me be a little maternal for a moment..."
Rating: Summary: Is this really the end? Review: One of the best sequels, in fact in my view, THE best sequel. The ending was great but I think this is the end of HALLOWEEN now.
Rating: Summary: Excellent movie- forgotten plot.. Review: Rip roaring sequel from an appaling predecessor Halloween 6:The Curse of Michael Myers. This film was full of suspense, and jumps with an excellent cast including the original scream queen,Laurie Strode. Josh Harnett(The Faculty) and Michelle Williams(Dawson's Creek) provide great acting support.We wait in anticipation as brother meets sister 20 years later and Laurie's(Jamie Lee Curtis) determination to carry out vengeance on her evil brother. This sequel was just as good as the original but the plot is a flaw that I as a reviewer just cannot ignore. Prequels Halloween 4-6 are completley ignored with a lot of loose ends such as Laurie's mysterious daughter, according to H20 Laurie only has a son. The passing of time is also another flaw. 26 years should have passed, not 20 if you view the previous. But, if you are a Halloween fan like me this flaw after you have seen this film should be of little relevance. An excellent must see film perfectly suited to chill the bones at night. Keep the lights on!
Rating: Summary: Horrible, creepy, scary... Awesome, I think! Review: If this isn't scary, then tell me what is this? I bought this and I started to watch it. I just had to keep my finger on the "Pause" button. This is so scary. This is classical! I think that this is horror for grown-ups, not for teens. Teens can watch Urban Legend, but watching this... They won't sleep again! (That's stupid to say, because I'm 12 years old kid, who loves horror movies and sleeps like bear). One of my friends borrowed this from me and she was very scared. You have to buy this! When one guy from my class borrowed this from me and returned it, I was surprised. Because always when he borrows horror movies from me, he says they weren't scary and wild. Now, he didn't say anything. Please, watch this!

Rating: Summary: Okay sequel, good character arc for Laurie Strode. Review: The concept was certainly intriguing, though the idea seems to work better just as an idea than when put into execution. Jamie Lee Curtis is no longer effective as a scared horror-film victim, but alas -- all of the first half of the film has her precisely in that dreaded position. Her very entrance as a character -- waking up screaming from a nightmare -- is preposterously insulting. The "Mr. Brennan" character is both horribly written and acted by Adam Arkin -- boy toy, hornier than any of the kids, and quite simply an ineffective confidant for the main character by virtue of how weak he is as a character. It doesn't help that H20 overuses one of the most cliched and ineffective of '90s horror-film devices, the false scare. Urban Legend and H20 both overdose on this device of having some kind of harmless character enter frame, a phony reaction from a character, with what John Carpenter called a "stinger" (loud, abrupt, usually percussive music cue) on the soundtrack. I usually burst out laughing on every occasion after the second appearance of this device on any film. This is not true horror. That said, H20 picks up steam midway through -- first, when the Laurie Strode character finally starts to confront Michael Myers. Long overdue, and Curtis captures the grim determination well. Michelle Williams is all but wasted in the "Molly" role which basically requires her to scream and act hysterical. Josh Hartnett fares better as Laurie's weary son John, and Jodi Lyn O'Keefe is lively as one of the Myers victims, Sarah (thin character, but much more entertaining to watch than Williams'). LL Cool J is quickly turning out to be an infallible comic sidekick (also see Deep Blue Sea) just by being there. Director Steve Miner nails some nice atmospheric moments -- the series of dissolves inside Dr. Loomis' abandoned room, for example. But H20, like all of the Halloween sequels, fails to achieve the subtlety and sustained atmosphere of the original. In the original, a tingling piano builds up the tension while Michael Myers is *always* present so that there's always a sense of danger. In all of the sequels, the classic score gets overarranged with synths and strings, tension is chopped up and diluted, and Michael Myers is little more than another masked killer ("horror" sequences and "dramatic" sequences in the sequels are too often separate and distinct, making them extremely predictable). H20 is worth a watch for the nice brother-sister showdown between Laurie and Michael, especially when the film itself pokes fun at Michael Myers' legendary invulnerability (Laurie in this sequel *knows* Michael is never quite dead). As a horror film, it lacks the merciless grip. As an action flick, it just might pass the test.
Rating: Summary: Best Horror movie i've seen Review: This was an excellant movie. IT kept on surprising you, and the end was VERY GOOD. I would definantly recommend this movie to friends. The only bad thing about the movie is they what they did to Timmy! (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the neighbor in the beginning) I though Timmy's charecter was great, and he definantly DID NOT deserve an ice skate in his face! Anyway, it was a very good movie, if you haven't seen it, see it now!
Rating: Summary: wheres the zero star! Review: the worst movieI have ever seen ,I really would not recommend this movie to anyone even if they only had half a brain cell. its not scary more of a comedy gone wrong, DANGER KEEP CLEAR!
