Editorial Review:

Description:
This smart and suspenseful thriller scares up a bone-chilling good time with original scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis (TRUE LIES, HALLOWEEN I&II) and a hot cast of hip young stars! Now the headmistress of a private school, Laurie Strode (Curtis) is still struggling with the horrifying, 20-year-old memories of the maniacal killer Michael Myers ... when he suddenly reappears with a vengeance! And this Halloween, his terror will strike a whole new generation! Laurie's rebellious son (Josh Hartnett -- THE FACULTY), his girlfriend (Michelle Williams -- TV's DAWSON'S CREEK), and the school security guard (LL COOL J -- WOO, B.A.P.S.) will become Michael's newest victims unless Laurie can conquer her greatest fears and put evil in its place once and for all! The time has come again for you to experience the frightening fun of HALLOWEEN -- the motion picture series that totally redefined terror!

Amazon.com:
Halloween is one of the great modern horror films, but as a franchise its track record has been spotty at best, painfully bad at worst. Halloween H2O: Twenty Years Later, directed by horror vet Steve Miner (Friday the 13th parts 2 and 3, House), won't displace John Carpenter's original but it might help you forget the films in between. Miner certainly has: the film begins as if sequels 3 through 6 never happened. Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis, reprising her role for the first time in almost two decades) faked her death and is now a single mom and headmistress of an exclusive California private school. She's also a secret alcoholic who lives in fear of her homicidal brother-bogeyman Michael Myers. Guess who decides to show up for a family reunion? The film begins with classic horror-movie exposition (the deserted college campus, Michael's escape, Laurie's waking nightmares) accomplished with some humor and style, but it's all setup for the second half, a driving roller coaster of stalk-and-slash thrills. There's little of the self-conscious genre referencing of Scream and at times the film is a little far-fetched--it is a slasher movie about a knife-wielding homicidal maniac who won't stay dead, after all--but Curtis transforms Laurie from a shrieking victim into an empowered, determined horror-movie heroine who's learned a thing or two from the previous films. Adam Arkin, Josh Hartnett, and TV cutie Michelle Williams (Dawson's Creek) costar, and the script received uncredited polish from Scream writer Kevin Williamson; Curtis's mom, Janet Leigh, pops up in a cameo. --Sean Axmaker



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - So dumb.
Halloween H20 is the worst horror flick ever! I can't believe Jamie Lee Curtis reprised her iconic role as Laurie Strode. Halloween is such a classic film, all the sequels are stupid and not even scary. Josh Hartnett and Michelle Williams over do it here, the whole Laurie and Michael Myers are brother and sister is so calculated, I didn't like Halloween 2 and I don't like this one either.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Final installment of the trilogy!
Forget Halloween 4-6. Halloween H20 is should've been the third and final installment to this landmark franchise. I own Halloween 1, 2 and H20. There's no need to see anything else!



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - If Jamie Lee isn't afraid of Michael, Why should the audience be?
The last 20 minutes of this movie are of Jamie Lee Curtis stalking Michael Meyers and not the other way around.If that seems like a scary premise to you then you don't ask for much.This deflates the threat of the masked killer and leaves you with nothing but Jamie Lee doing an action hero impression."Scary",yes,but not in the way I want a Halloween movie to be.Stick with the first two movies.Halloween 4 was ok too.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
I thought it would be cool to review this movie on this particular day! HALLOWEEN H20 is pretty cool! I remember being 8 years old and seeing it at the theatre. 20 years after Michael tried to kill Laurie Strode, he soon decides to try again. She lives under the name of Keri Tate. She has a son named John. She works as a head mistress at a private boarding school in Northern California. She has a boyfriend. Soon, Michael tears her life up again. She soon decides to fight back and finish her brother off once and for all...until the sequel. If you love the HALLOWEEN series, you'll love HALLOWEEN H20: TWENTY YEARS LATER!!!


p.s. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Laurie Strode Is Back And Michael Myers Wants Her Dead!
HAPPY THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY, MICHAEL MYERS!!!

Jamie Lee Curtis is finally back as Laurie Strode!!!! This is definitely the highlight of "Halloween: H20," which takes place exactly twenty years after the original "Halloween." Pretend that parts four through six occur in parallel time. Better yet, write them off as being one long dream like the viewers had to do when Bobby Ewing was killed by Catherine Wentworth's car on "Dallas."

Having faked her own death, Laurie has changed her name to Keri Tate and is the headmistress of a private high school in Northern California. She is overprotective of her son, John Tate, because she fears Michael will find them. Where has Michael been for twenty years?

Alas, horror legend Donald Pleasance ... Read More
