It seems fitting, after reviewing the first 2 Halloweens, that I should review the other Halloween that is of notable mention. 20 years after the original, and after 5 fair to poor sequels, Jamie Lee Curtis happened to have it mentioned in an interview that it was coming up to her 20th anniversary in the movie industry. Keen to mark the occassion and give something back to the audience, as well as revisit the character she most admired in her career, Curtis approached original director John Carpenter to do the film. With Carpenter and Debra Hill busy on other projects, they passed. So she had Kevin Williamson (responsible for Scream) write a 4 page draft for the ... Read the complete review

I don't know why, but I'm in a bit of a horror mood tonight. I watched The Descent earlier, a great British horror film, and then I turn the TV on, and Halloween H20 is on. I hadn't seen this film before, but had seen a few of the previous Halloween films, and so knew the basic premise of the film, whereby the serial killer with the freaky white facemask Michael Myers goea around killing people in the quest to find and kill his sister. Recently recovering from ending her brother's life, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) has upped sticks and started a new life as the headmistress of a school, changing her name to Keri Tate at the same time. She and son John ... Read the complete review

Halloween H20 sees the return of Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), Michael Myers's original victim.

Without John Carpenter spending around 20 days shooting and £30,000 making Halloween we wouldn’t have had most horror movies, an example is Scream. However Halloween H20 owes a lot to Scream as well. Scream made slasher movies profitable again, it drew in a whole new audience to the genre by updating its conventions and getting a new, sexier cast to play the victims and killers. In 1998 Halloween H20 hopped on the bandwagon hoping to put the disappointment of a $15m gross of Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers behind them. Their judgement paid off and H20 and it managed to gross a none too bad $60m and around £8m here. It is fair to say that most ... Read the complete review
