Halloween is the seventh in the Halloween
movie series. All of the movies in the series, with the exception
of Halloween 3, dealt with a silent killer who wears a mask named
Mike Myers. Jamie Lee Curtis was in the first two Halloween movies
and from what research I could gather she was the driving force
to get this movie made.
Jamie Lee Curtis is older than in the earlier movies and has
a drinking problem. Trouble starts up when Mike Myers kills some
random people in the neighborhood. Can she muster up the courage
to face a nemesis she thought was vanquished long ago?
Halloween H20 is a very average horror movie. Nothing really
jumps out of the movie as something unique, except for the clever
ending. The last ten minutes are pretty decent, as is the music
in the movie, which mainly consists of John Carpenter's original
creepy Halloween theme music from the first Halloween movie.
Jamie Lee Curtis does as good a job as one can expect with what
she's given, but the plot should have focused more on her and
Mike Myers than all of the silly supporting characters, most
of whom get knocked off in lame ways.
I give Halloween H20 ** out of ****.

At the end of the last Halloween,
Micheal Myers suddenly dissappeared. That movie took place, about
5-10 years before this one. Halloween has always been considered
yet another generic slasher movie, along with the Friday the
13th and Nightmare on Elmstreet. Although, I happen to be a fan
of all three series. The difference in the Halloween series is
that it manages to maintain a semblance of a storyline. (bare
in mind, I say this as a comparason to the other two series.)
H20 is sort of a final chapter to the series. I only assume that,
because of the ending. Of course, in th last Friday the 13th
movie, Jason is banished to Hell. (I would hardly call that a
spoiler since the movie is called, "Jason goes to Hell.",
and they are currently working on the next Jason movie. I'm not
actually surprised by this. I have seen the entire series. Anyway,
back to Halloween. It sucked. Not enough people died. I'd also
like to add that Mat does not know what he's talking about. I'm
the one who knows his horror flicks, not Mat.
