Movie Info
Two decades after surviving a massacre on October 31, 1978, former baby sitter Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) finds herself hunted by persistent knife-wielder Michael Myers. Laurie now lives in Northern California under an assumed name, where she works as the headmistress of a private school. But it's not far enough to escape Myers, who soon discovers her whereabouts. As Halloween descends upon Laurie's peaceful community, a feeling of dread weighs upon her -- with good reason.

Besides a stupid title that has nothing to do with water and some bland characters who are just there to die, at least this seventh Halloween movie has some original moments and fun deaths, even if the build-up is much better than the payoff (which is rather dumb, I would say).

Halloween H20 is the final chapter in the original trilogy inaugurated in 1978, back when we first got introduced to Michael Myers and when we first met Laurie Strode as the hero of this film. Now, it has been 20 years sense Myers has menaced his sister Laurie. Everyone suspects Myers might be back. This film is the final showdown between Laurie and her brother. We see the way Laurie has been haunted by what happened to her 20 years ago, and the way it affects her relationship with her son and her love interest. The film grounds the story of Myers and his confrontation with Laurie in reality, making Michael someone with very superhuman strength but who nevertheless can be stopped. The truth is that this film is not that great and doesn't quite deliver on the process of reunion that we would like. It is too much a product of its time, influenced heavily by the other slasher films of its time like Scream (1996) and I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997). Even the movie poster looks like those films. In any case, not a bad movie, and worth seeing, but only on the heels of the other two films.

Of course we all know now that H20 went on to have a sequel, a reboot, a sequel to the reboot, and another Halloween film coming out next year, but props to Twenty Years Later for at least *trying* to end the franchise. It's nice sometimes to watch a horror go out on something other than a final-scare/cliff-hanger. Also notable for being the first Michael Myers movie that's any fun. Not a great movie, but credit where credit's due.

Jamie Lee Curtis returns for Halloween H2O: 20 Years Later in an attempt to save the franchise. Having faked her death and changed her name Laurie Strode has built a new life in California, but she still lives in fear of Michael Myers, knowing that one day he'll return. Featuring an all-star cast that includes Jamie Lee Curtis, Michelle Williams, Josh Hartnett, and LL Cool J, the performances are fairly good. However, the continuity changes from the previous films are hard to rectify, and the plot isn't really that interesting. Still, the kill sequences are intense and well-shot. While it pulls the series back from the brink of insanity, Halloween H2O: 20 Year Later isn't quite able to rekindle the spark that started it all.
