Halloween: H20

Summary: GOOD COMEBACK
Review: This one was a good comeback after Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers. Good cast, setting, and the "20 years" theme was very good. A little too short and unexplained though. No mention of 3, 4, 5, and 6 {although 3 has nothing to do with the series anyway} Good ending too! I hope they make a GOOD sequel to this movie.

Summary: It's all wet
Review: Michael Myers is back once again without an explaination (only signature of DIMENSION) and after 20 years of searching, he's found his sister. He then proceeds to the private school in California where she teaches and hacks up a few of her students before going after her. Starts off lame with Curtis dropping a bomb on the project and doesn't get good until the near end, where Curtis begins to improve. Pretty much just another teeny bopper film of the late '90's that wins over part 6 but not by a noticable lot. If you don't know who the secretary is before watching the behind the scenes specials, it's better that you retire from the HALLOWEEN fanclub.

Summary: The Revenge of Laurie Strode
Review: I think they should have called this movie "The Revenge of Laurie Strode" because that is what this movie is. The only thing that disappointed me was the fact that this movie totally neglected Halloween 4-6. It only followed Halloween 1-2. Knowing from the beginning that Laurie had to have faked her death and changed her name, I expected some explanation as to why she left her daugther Jamie(Halloween 4-6) behind and just took her son, John, when she went into hiding. Not to mention the fact that in Halloween 4, it is said that both of Jamie's parents died. In H20, John gets a birthday card from his dad. Did he go into hiding too, was it Jimmy from Halloween 2 or someone else? Did Jamie and John have the same father? This movie left many unanswered questions. For the Halloween fans that follow the series closely this was probably a big disapointment, but to those who loved the first 2 of the series, this movie probably rocked! I am somewhere in the middle because I did enjoy the movie alot despite the unanswered questions and if I completely ignore Halloween 4-6, then I would give this movie a 4-star rating because it is a good enough movie. I love the fast-paced action of the characters, it seemed very realistic as to what one would do if they were confronted by a monster like Michael Myers. A very good movie!

Summary: Is Michael Dead?
Review: Michael is after his sister Laurie Strode (Curtis) again, this time she has a new identity and career. Halloween seems to be returning to the stage of thrills, chills, and suspence. Although I would like an answer as to why Michael just stopped hunting down his niece's baby that he was after in Halloween 6 and just decided to go after his sister again. Overall, an improvement in the series and is entertaining enough for the average halloween fan. Supposably the last installment. But the way movies are these days, anything is possible.

Summary: The Only Halloween Sequel!
Review: He's back! Michael Myers returns to haunt viewers in this brilliant sequel which quite rightly forgets the terrible franchise Halloween films of the last few years. When Halloween graced our screens, it seemed certain that a sequel would follow. Shame really, making a part two would have sufficed, but the movie-making machine deemed it fit to inflict four rather dubious parts after that. Reprising her role as original scream queen Laurie Strode is Jamie Lee Curtis. This time, we meet her twenty years after she watched her deranged brother seemingly burn to death after mass-murdering her friends and family. Strode has changed her identity and now heads a private school in middle-America. Curtis pulls of a nuerotic, paranoid and damaged personality with a certain air of expertise; while her supporting cast offer a range of roles. We join Strode on Halloween, where she is at her worst. We glimpse into her medicine cabinet which tells us that this woman has had a hard time dealing with her history. Her son is under her protective shadow, and feels dreadful about it. Before long, we see Michael Myers beginning his journey to find Strode. Then the tension, pulse-racing pace and all other classic Halloween factors come into play. The cat and mouse chase sequences are brilliant and Strode's final stand against her monster will put chills up your spine. A fantastic, genuine horror movie, not delving into the silliness that we so often see in other films. Truly a sequel that does not eclipse the original shocker, but compliments it. Enjoy.

Summary: EXCELLENT!
Review: Rip-roaring sequel to an appaling predecessor. In this film we see the return of Jamie Lee Curtis. Now headmistress in a new school, Jamie has changed her name in the hope that her psychotic brother will never find her. Introducing Josh Harnett as Jamie Lee's son and a load of cheeky humour from Scream Producer Kevin S. Williamson. This film is also less violent, which is a plus. But of the violent scenes prepare to turn your stomach this is quite gruesome in parts. Excellent film: 1 flaw- what happened to storylines of Halloween 3-6? Secondly, producers don't create that sequel you are planning to create- Halloween 2000....you are on a high now and end it like that

Summary: Another Classic!
Review: I have reviewed Halloween 1 and 2 and thought since I recently bought a copy of this (for a reasonable price of 4.99)I should review it. This was a great aniversary sequal, though there are a few mistakes in the movie but who cares. There is young new actors as well as the BEST Jamie Lee Curtis, returning to play Laurie Strode. This movie was as good as the other two. And might I add, I gave Halloween 2 4 stars, I would like to change that to 5 now. But if you love Halloween, watch this great sequal!

Summary: The only real sequel!
Review: This is the only follow-up I will accept as a real sequel to the original.Forget parts 2&3,you won't miss a thing! Halloween was a thrill ride primarily because it relied on a character with motivation for mayhem and yet not a drop of blood was spilled. Any film can scare by flashing gruesome images, but Halloween delivered a Psychoesque approach to film-making.I still look over my shoulder in the shower after Phycho, and I'd think twice before babysitting alone after Halloween. H2O is a plot based, terrifying and surprisingly believable follow up of the characters that made this film great.If they managed not to spill any blood in it, I would've given it 5 stars! But, hey, nobody's 'Perfect'.

Summary: Halloween H20
Review: Jamie Lee Curtis is the all time horror film actress. What I didn't like is her change of identity from Laurie Strode to Keri Tate. I know she was terrified of her crazy brother Michael, but it's not worth changing her identity. I rate it 5 stars, but the movie is WAY TOO SHORT!
