This Halloween, his terror will strike a whole new generation but this time Laurie is not going torun again.run again. No Track Information Available Media Type: DVD Artist: CURTIS/ARKIN/HARTNETT/WILLIAMS Title: HALLOWEEN H20 Street Release Date: 09/05/2006 Genre: HORROR Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Wonderful sequel!20 years after the brutal Halloween night massacre that happened in Haddonfield, survivor Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) faked her own death and hides out in California under a new alias. Now raising a son (Josh Harnett) and being a headmistress at a prep school, she is still being haunted by the memories of Michael Myers. However the fiendish Shape isn't dead since that fire at the hospital in "Halloween 2", he hunts her down on the same day that he always stalks and kills known ...

After four horrendous sequels that made ZERO sense, Hollywood brings back Jamie Lee, pretends that parts 3 - 6 never happened and makes the best Halloween since part 2. A brilliant continuation of the story line. Expertly directed, superb acting, a great cast, even with Josh and his pillow fight hair. LL rocks in this movie. Start to finish a film FINALLY worthy of the Halloween name. One again it should have ended after this but Hollyweird ... Read More Rating: - H2O: yes, maybe, no.I like this movie. Not the best one done of course, but it is passable. Rating:  - Non canon, non enjoyableThis 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 Pleasance. In order to keep the series going, they needed a new ending, which almost destroyed the movie. Then they came out with this one, which bizarrely ignores everything that had happened in parts 4, 5 and their own 6 (in fact I believe "H20" also pretty much ... Read More Rating:  - 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 don't think this movie captured the style of the original at all. There are homage's, but paying homage doesn't make the movies in the same style. A lot of movies pay homage to other flicks, but that doesn't make them a like. H20 feels a lot more like a Scream movie ... Read More |
