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 film follows on from halloween 2 and completely ignores all other sequels. Jamie Lee Curtis is back as Laurie Strode/Keri Tate, but due to the death of Donald Pleasance there is no Dr Loomis, which to me is a bit of a shame as his character sometimes made the film . . .
The movie goes back to the basics by replacing the gore for the old shock factor. Instead of all the blood and guts, we have a movie that goes back to the style of the original Halloween where much of the horror was made from genuine jump out of your seat shocks. This is a good thing, and its back to being scared again!
It takes a while for things to get going, but when they do, the action is non-stop. The film is just the right length for me, not too long and not too short, it will keep you entertained all the way through.
In my opinion this is the best sequel of the lot. Its modern, its sometimes funny, its scary, it has a new soundtrack which still adds to the horror and its back to actually shocking the audience. This should appeal to modern horror fans as well as fans of any slasher series.
Overall a good film and the best sequel out of all of them.
Watch out for Halloween 8 coming next year!!!!!

Advantages: Unbreakble, unstoppable super killer on a mission, a bright young cast including Dawson's Creek's Michelle Williams and an ending that surely means this is the last ever Myers movie Disadvantages: suffers from below par movies that we made before it but to be fair H20 does well. Myers eyes are also visible through the mask, I prefer it when they're 'empty black holes' but then thats just my personal opinion
Advantages: Original characters, classy, good actors, scary and suspenseful. Disadvantages: Too short, for some reason another voice is used to resemble Donald Pleasance - let's jsut say it doesn't
