Halloween H2O - Twenty Years Later Halloween 7 (DVD)

...days shooting and $300,000 making Halloween we wouldn’t have had most horror movies, an example is Scream. However, in turn, 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 cash in on the current craze. Their judgement ...
...making it the highest grossing Halloween of the series. This Halloween is lacking in continuity in a big way. It totally ignores parts 3-6 (although part 3 doesn’t count because it was meant to be a stand alone film) not once in the movie is there mention of the events that happened there nor the fact that Laurie Strode had a daughter. It is worth pointing out though that there was a brief reference to the events, including Laurie’s daughter, in ...

...fan of sequels, and, with Halloween H2O being the sixth sequel I really didn’t think I’d like this. I was pleasantly surprised though. I haven’t yet seen any of the other Halloween films (apart from the original) so I can’t compare it to any of those. I don’t think this film is quite as good as the original Halloween, although it is a newer film so that gives Halloween H2O an advantage over the original film. This film ...

♥ Halloween H20 ♥ One of the most successful horror series of all time first began back in 1978 with the Original Halloween. It was a terrifying breath of fresh air at the time and arguably started the genre we know today as 'stalk & Slash'. Anyway, due to it's success, 5 sequels followed with varying success...I do believe Halloween 5 went straight to DVD outside of America so things were starting to go downhill. The series desperately ...
...Curtis did just that with Halloween H20... ♥ An Anniversary To Die For ♥ Okay, so the movie begins and we soon find out that Michael Myers (The Halloween series villain) is far from dead and actually very much alive as he spills blood to gain information on his long lost sister, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), who is apparently dead after a 'tragic automobile accident'. Is she dead...Hell No! She's just moved to Northern California, ...

...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 ...

Not only do we get Jamie Lee back but good 'ol Michael Myers looks like he did in the original as opposed to the little fat man he had come to resemble in the others. Add to this a decent plot, decent actors, good suspense and a cool cameo from Jamie Lee's mother Janet and the end result is something I just didn't think could be possible. Now let's leave it there 'cause I don't want to see Michael reduced ...

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 hard to ...

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.

Review of Halloween H2O - Twenty Years Later Halloween 7 (DVD)

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 ...

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. ...

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 ...
...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 the inside. Why does no-one EVER shoot him in the head? It's just a huge spit on the 1st film. Each version getting gradually worse. Some of the action sequences are half decent, even the little nod to the film Aliens where Curtis ...

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 ...
...the film is brilliant and adds the finishing touches to all the films. The only part about the film and the rest of the series is the fact that he keeps coming back to life after being shot many times and stabbed and injected with poison! The fantastic mask just makes this whole series one of the best in horror film history. Not suitable for the type of person who doesn't like murder, blood, suspense, action and horror. WILL THERE BE A WAY FOR MICHAEL ...

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 lose ...
...following on 20 years after Halloween 2 ended in the early 80's. Ok, the writers may come in for a lot of abuse for dismissing Halloween 4,5 and 6, but in my opinion they deserve a hell of a lot of respect for making this bold move and ultimatly restoring the series back to its former glory, eg: an unstoppable and unexplainable killer that nothing on earth seems to be able to stop. On the whole the movie shouldn't have to explain who or what Micheal ...
