Halloween H20 - Twenty Years Later (Dimension Collector's Series)
Halloween is one of the great modern horror films, but as a franchise its track record has been spotty at best, painfully bad at worst. Halloween H2O: Twenty Years Later, directed by horror vet Steve Miner (Friday the 13th parts 2 and 3, House), won't displace John Carpenter's original but it might help you forget the films in between. Miner certainly has: the film begins as if sequels 3 through 6 never happened. Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis, reprising her role for the first time in almost two decades) faked her death and is now a single mom and headmistress of an exclusive California private school. She's also a secret alcoholic who lives in fear of her homicidal brother-bogeyman Michael Myers. Guess who decides to show up for a family reunion? The film begins with classic horror-movie exposition (the deserted college campus, Michael's escape, Laurie's waking nightmares) accomplished with some humor and style, but it's all setup for the second half, a driving roller coaster of stalk-and-slash thrills. There's little of the self-conscious genre referencing of Scream and at times the film is a little far-fetched--it is a slasher movie about a knife-wielding homicidal maniac who won't stay dead, after all--but Curtis transforms Laurie from a shrieking victim into an empowered, determined horror-movie heroine who's learned a thing or two from the previous films. Adam Arkin, Josh Hartnett, and TV cutie Michelle Williams (Dawson's Creek) costar, and the script received uncredited polish from Scream writer Kevin Williamson; Curtis's mom, Janet Leigh, pops up in a cameo. --Sean Axmaker
This smart and suspenseful thriller scares up a bone-chilling good time with original scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis (TRUE LIES, HALLOWEEN I&II) and a hot cast of hip young stars! Now the headmistress of a private school, Laurie Strode (Curtis) is still struggling with the horrifying, 20-year-old memories of the maniacal killer Michael Myers ... when he suddenly reappears with a vengeance! And this Halloween, his terror will strike a whole new generation! Laurie's rebellious son (Josh Hartnett -- THE FACULTY), his girlfriend (Michelle Williams -- TV's DAWSON'S CREEK), and the school security guard (LL COOL J -- WOO, B.A.P.S.) will become Michael's newest victims unless Laurie can conquer her greatest fears and put evil in its place once and for all! The time has come again for you to experience the frightening fun of HALLOWEEN -- the motion picture series that totally redefined terror!

I like this movie. Not the best one done of course, but it is passable.

Non canon, non enjoyable
This was a strange move by Dimension, who had picked up the "Halloween" franchise. The first Dimension "Halloween", part 6 "The Curse Of Michael Myers", was a great film - before the last third was reshot due to the postfilming death of Donald...

H20 isn't a terrible movie, but it's mostly lackluster.
Fans of the franchise are split on H20; some say it's the best sequel of the series that captures the style of the original and others disagree and say it's one of the weaker ones. In my opinion both of have some very valid points. Honestly I...

Frighteningly Entertaining" and breathtaking"
"Michael Myers" returning after a 20 year absence, was every bit worth the wait! Jamie Lee Curtis, has taken the role of Laurie Strode and made it her own, and adding in the storyline, of Josh Hartnett Playing her son, was priceless. It grabs at...

This is the real Halloween 3. The sad thing for the series is Halloween 3. I DID NOT LIKE the fact Michael was not in the movie, still its not a bad film on its own, I DID LIKE H 20, it answered a lot of qestions regarding the family tree,...

The End Of The Franchise...Or So I'd Hoped
I love Halloween. No other horror movie holds my favor like this one does. I saw the original when I was about 8-9 may be a little older perhaps 10-11, but I never forgot that white mask or the eerie music cue that signaled The Shape was close by....

Loved it.
I have seen 1 and 2, then this film, resurrection and the Rob Zombie remake and of these I would rate this one as he best- however for its time I am sure that 1 and 2 were spectacular. In this film I loved that Laurie killed Michael but then he...

Family Reunited
This anniversary movie simply works. It is very straight-forward, and just below 80 minutes of run-time, it delivers. It was beautiful to meet Laurie Strode again, and to see how the events of 20 years ago had changed her life . But this time,...
