Halloween H20 - Twenty Years Later (DVD) Reviews

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room The Halloween series started brilliantly in 1978 and kickstarted the slasher genre, although sadly, the series itself endured numerous dodgy and inconsistent sequels, chiefly the dire third film, Season of the Witch, which didn't even feature Myers himself. Instead, this film ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

Why did Jamie Lee Curtis agree to be in this? She was good in number 1, whereas this film is just a major pile of ishmael. Lot's of things don't make sense. Like how Myers found her if she changed her name (to Keri Tate)? Was she still in Haddonfield? How does Myers get out of the bodybag? Those things really aren't designed to be opened from ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Halloween H2O Twenty Years Later… Arh the sweet smell of Halloween, yes the Scream Queen herself is back. Jamie Lee Curtis is back for another scream, but does she put Michael in his place this time round? This great Horror/ Thriller/ Suspense movie comes back with a bang in 1998. Halloween H2O personally could have done with ...  Read the complete review

Halloween H20 sees the return of Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), Michael Myers's original victim. She now goes by the name of Keri Tate after she faked her death to finally be free of her homicidal brother. She is the Prinicpal of a top private school which her son, John (Josh Hartnett) attends along with his girlfriend Molly(Michelle ...  Read the complete review

Michael Myers returns yet again to our screens. Donned in the same mask as the last time he returns to attempt to kill one person…. his sister. 20 years on from the original Halloween Laurie Strode is targeted yet again. Last time she faked her death, changed her name and moved house to try to evade Michael Myers. She now ...  Read the complete review

I've always considered "Halloween" a good, classic horror film. Unlike "Scream" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer", it actually has a good plot and doesn't consist of endless amounts of blood being poured all over the floor. Obviously, the follow up to "Halloween" is good, but not nearly ...  Read the complete review

Laurie Strode from Halloween 1 & 2 is now a headmistress at a private school, under her new name of Keri Tate as she is under a protection programme. She has a 17 year old son, and the 20th Anniversary of the events of the first Halloween is fast approaching, she starts to have nightmares and flashbacks, then, Michael returns . . . This ...  Read the complete review

Right lets get things straight. Halloween H20 is a sequal to Halloween and Halloween 2, but not to Halloween 3 which wasn't even about Michael Myers, or Halloween 4,5 and 6, which seem to have been forgotten. If that sounds confusing then I don't blame you, as the writers for this latest slasher feast have snubbed the last three films ...  Read the complete review

The HALLOWEEN series of movies is one of those which started off with a good movie (HALLOWEEN, obviously) but which gradually lost quality as the series went on. HALLOWEEN H20 was the seventh in the series (and was hyped at the time as being the final one ever, although there is talk of another movie currently on the cards). The first two movies ...  Read the complete review

I quite enjoyed this film but I couldn't watch it a lot. It has the same storyline as the other Hallowe'en films (except the 3rd one but that's another story). It involves the killer Michael Myers obviously doing what he does best, killing people. Michaels' sister Lori was the star in the first one but in this ones she is all ...  Read the complete review

Halloween H20 is the film 20 years on from the original. Laurie Strode (played by Jamie Lee Curtis) as she was then has faked her own death, changed her name (to Kerri Tate), face and life in desperation to go into hinding from Michael Myers (her serial killing brother). New characters are John, her 17 year old son (played by Josh Harnett)and ...  Read the complete review

The first real drama and horror is when the next door neighbour hears an intruder inside then calls her next door neighbour to come and sort the problem out (two teenage boys come to the rescue with ice hockeys sticks and skates) so they enter the house and notice that the biggest knife is missing (I wonder who could have taken that hey?). When ...  Read the complete review

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, ...  Read the complete review

I will join with the other reviewers on this one - there are no surprises in this film. It's standard Hallowe'en stuff, the same format as the other ones. I thought that the little girl in one of the previous films was Jamie Lee's film daughter - maybe I'm wrong?? She was teased for being an orphan ... and there's no ...  Read the complete review

Yet another Halloween sequel and yet again another really bad movie. The original Halloween movie was actally very good considering it is a slasher movie and that these are generally very bad. H20 is sadly very very bad. Yet again the man in the hockey mask has risen form the dead in order to exact his revenge on his sister and yet again(and this ...  Read the complete review

I said that because it wasn't that gory and the wait between the beginning and the end was too long. First off where were the scars on Michael’s hand in 4-6 he had scars on his hand from the 2 Halloween and Michael clearly had no scars on his hand in h20. Another was that they never mentioned Halloween 4-6. They could of at least ...  Read the complete review

I have got to say that Halloween is a classic! The 1st one anyway! Although it was made before I was born, I got to see it soon enough! So, having seen them all, the good, and the bad, sorry to say, this is how a legend goes. What the hell was going on with the writing of Halloween H20? Was it rushed? I think so! I really ...  Read the complete review

Don't think that to watch this film you would have had to watch the previos five because you don't. And also don't think that seeing as it is the sixth Halloween movie that it will be rubbish, it's not! Basically it's 20 years later, hence title of the film, and Michael Myers is back to try and kill his sister. His ...  Read the complete review
