Day 27 Of My 31 Days Of Horror.
Director Steve Miner gives us a very worthy Halloween Sequel with Halloween H2O 20 Years Later.
First a little Background. In 1978 John Carpenter hit it big with his independent film with Halloween. But in 1981 we got a sequel that picks up right were the First one left off in Halloween II. Then in 1982 John Carpenter wanted to take the series in a different direction and make a different Halloween story every movie. With that we have the failed result known as Halloween III Season Of The Witch. So they decided to go back to the basics and in 1988 we got Halloween 4 The Return Of Michael Myers. After the financial success of Part 4 they wasted no time and a year later in 1989 we got Halloween 5 The Revenge Of Micheal Myers. After that no Halloween movie was heard of until in 1995 we got Halloween The Curse Of Micheal Myers. Box office ran big time with the movie and decided to put the Halloween series to rest for one more movie and in 1998 we got just that.
The film follows Laurie Strode played once again by Jaimee Lee Curtis who is having nightmares about her serial killer brother Micheal Myers. Since then she has gone into hiding and has changed her name to Karen Tate and now has a job teaching at a high school were her son played by Josh Hartnett is enrolled. Her son and 3 of his friends decide to spend a night at the Myers house But Micheal shows up and havoc ensues with Lauri helping the kids of course.
This is a very good entry in the famous horror series with terrific cast and great scares. Although the film drags on a few spots and Micheal Myers Doesn't really show up until an hour into the film which is stupid because A, the movie is about him and b, the movie is only 1hr 26min. This was supposed to be the final one but for some reason in 2002 we Got Halloween Resurrection With Busta Rhymes And Tyra Banks. Sadly(and I am being sarcastic here) I can't review that film because I shut it off halfway through. Whether It Was for better or for worst you decide on that one. I recommend this movie( Halloween H20 20 Years Later) for all horror fans.
Rated R For Terror Violence/Gore And Language.
1hr 26min/86min.
