Halloween H2O - Twenty Years Later Halloween 7 (DVD) > Reviews

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

...notice that I believe the Halloween franchise gets progressively worse the more the sequels pile up. Who would have thought this could be so different. If the pattern had persisted after the truly abysmal Halloween 6 then this film would be up their with Driller Killer and Showgirls. Thankfully Steve Miner has turned in a film that is only bettered by the original movie. Something about Halloween's subsequent sequels was the feeling that the script ... Read review

Advantages: Jamie lee duh! same classic hair raising tune.
Disadvantages: LL Cool jay !

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 out L L Cool Jay. L L Cool Jays plays as one of the security guard and a very bad acted one at that! Though it's ... Read review

Advantages: A great terse storyline
Disadvantages: The absence of Donald Pleasance

...Strode in the original terrifying Halloween film. Returning for one sequel, Jamie Lee Curtis stayed out of the rest of the increasingly dull Halloween films. But it has been 20 years, and what better way to celebrate than making a new film and bringing back the mainstays of the original film. Unfortunately Donald Pleasance died after making the attrocious "Curse Of Michael Myers" film, but paying tribute is a voice over the credits from the original ... Read review

Advantages: Jamie Lee Curtis and many more great actors
Disadvantages: so - so

Halloween H20! (Twenty years later) - an excellent film - This smart suspense thriller stars original scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis (True Lies, Halloween 1 & 11) alongside a hot cast of hip young stars! Now the headmistress of a private school, Laurie Strode (Curtis)(I think Jamie Lee Curtis has lost it a little now, esp in front of the cameras!) is still struggling with the horrifying, 20-year old memories of the manic killer Michael Myers (her ...

Advantages: Jamie Lee Curtis's return, Terrifying, Great story, Great score
Disadvantages: Running time being 88 minutes

Halloween came out way back in 1978 and terrified a nation. Nothing matched it's originality and suspense. Two decades followed along with 5 sequels which never quite captured the feeling or terror of the original until 1998's release of Halloween H20. It gave the series the kick it needed and gave it back it's credibility. Around 1996 someone mentioned the date to Jamie Lee Curtis and she realised that 1998 would be her twentieth anniversary of ... Read review

Advantages: Blood, gore, Scary Killers,
Disadvantages: Predictable, Sequel

Halloween H20 is the film 20 years on from the original.

...Scream Movie, fans of the Halloween shouldn't be dissapointed. However, if your expecting a film that may possibly beat the origninal's standards, you will be sorely dissapointed. This film is literally a Modern-Day Halloween Film and is pulled off very well in my opinion, the intro credits are especially well done. The music is done well, a slight variation on John Carpenter's Original. ... Read review

Advantages: Jamie Lee Curtis looking hot
Disadvantages: the silly plot

Basically the plot is set in a school where Laurie Strode works and her son is also a pupil there, the whole school goes off to a camp but the son, his girlfriend, best friend and his girlfriend sneak away to stay behind inside the school leaving the school empty apart from them 5 and LL Cool J playing the security guard and token black guy to be terrorized by Myers. Why did Jamie Lee Curtis agree to be in this? She was good in number 1, whereas ... Read review

Advantages: Back to basics, Shocks instead of Gore
Disadvantages: None

This film follows on from halloween 2 and completely ignores all other sequels. Jamie Lee Curtis is back as Laurie ... Read review

Advantages: Great suspense and gore.
Disadvantages: Slightly unrealistic killer who survives almost anything!

Halloween H2o is the most fantastic film I have ever seen! It is the perfect climax to a classic horror film series. The freaky masked killer, Michael Myers returns for his revenge, and to kill the rest of his living relatives. I was hooked on the series since I saw the first movie about a year ago. I am a big fan of LL Cool J too, so I was delighted when I saw his name on the video box. The special effects are amazingly realistic and his killing ... Read review

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

Halloween H20 is the climax to a Horror franchise that has spanned two decades ever since John Carpenter's stalk and slash late 70's original first burst on to the Movie Screens and changed teh face of Horror forever. H20 was always going to be a tricky movie to pull off after the way the plot took the series in Halloween 6 (eg: Micheal Myers is possessed by a thorn symbol and all this other mystic cr*p they came up with) H20 gets around these ...

Advantages: Great film that has you on the edge of your seat!
Disadvantages: They could have added 20 mins or so.

Halloween H20, I know what your thinking, “Oh no! Not another Halloween Film!.” Don’t worry I thought the exact same when I saw this film in the video rental store, but I was pleasantly surprised when I watched it later that night. Halloween H20 is set 20 years later from when Michael Myers was supposedly killed and Jamie Lee Curtis is back alongside a hot cast of hip young stars! Now the headmistress of a private high school, ... Read review
