Halloween H20: 20 Years Later Trailers

Two decades after surviving a massacre on October 31, 1978, former baby sitter Laurie Strode finds herself hunted by persistent knife-wielder Michael Myers. Laurie now lives in Northern California under an assumed name, where she works as the headmistress of a private school. But it's not far enough to escape Myers, who soon discovers her whereabouts. As Halloween descends upon Laurie's peaceful community, a feeling of dread weighs upon her -- with good reason.

Okay, wow. That was a lot better than the previous three Halloween movies. I wouldn't necessarily say Halloween H20: 20 Years Later was good, but it was certainly far from bad. What really prevailed this one from previous sequals were it's attempts to be more compelling which, for the most part, work fittingly. The dynamic relationship between Laurie Strode's character (it was so refreshing to see her back!) and her son John, really amplified the film's quality. It's worth noticing that we've been given a significantly improved and more mature screenplay compared to the four previous entries. However, the scares haven't truly improved, and suffers from leaving most of its trepidations up to cheap jump scares. It also suffers from trying to be more modernized and blockbuster-like, which is derivative because the element that made the first two Halloween movies special was their more claustrophobic and low-budgeted atmospheres. However, the final confrontation between Laurie and Michael was intoxicating and unbelievably satisfying. Despite its flaws and inability to break positive, new boundaries in the horror genre, I was still able to thoroughly relish this entry in the Halloween franchise. (Verdict: C+)

Laurie Strode, now the dean of a Northern California private school with an assumed name, must battle the Shape one last time and now the life of her own son hangs in the balance. Even tho it's better than the previous 4 installments in the Series H20 still fails to deliver of what Halloween and Halloween II delivered which is a good plot that makes sense and even tho Jamie Lee Curtis is back and she is great along with the rest of the Cast that does an alright job the whole film reached a point of where i think it didn't care at all. We went from druids, cults and other insane things to finding out that Laurie is not dead and she faked all up plus the movie's ending is terrible and half of the film is Laurie seeing nightmares. The movie has some good moments as i said but it lacks a good plot and once again another terrible ending that laid to a worse film to come. (5/10)

Halloween 6 may have been bad and old and soggy and smelt like shit, but that did not mean it was not praised for being "unique" and oh yeah, getting like, a butt load of money at the box office. Well, anyway, of course, it was not long before we got Halloween H20: 20 Years Later. Fans did not know what to expect after Halloween 6 with Donald Plesence dying during Halloween 6..then some big news was announced that Jamie Lee Curtis would return after four dragged on sequels. The film basically ignores 4-6 weirdly and follows Laurie Strode who has now become a teacher at a school and still suffers from nightmares of her encounter with Mr. Myers and soon certain events being to make her believe, hes back for her. I actually don't really have any problems with H20, the film is a superb sequel to Halloween, the film is actually better then Halloween 2 and has a awesome story after I did feel like Halloween 4-6's story of Laurie being the mom of Jamie and all that was a bit forced and felt a bit insane considering she was only like 25 if she did have her. Halloween H20 is a great sequel to an amazing horror film, I'm pretty sure you've seen

First, after Laurie tells her boyfriend at the climax about her past and who she is, he asks her how old she was when all that happened. With a horrified realization in her eye as she looks at her son's 17th birthday card on the mantle, she tells him 17. He turns around, sees it, and cluelessly goes, "What?" What does he mean "What?" We all see the interesting connection there. Very annoying how he plays stupid. Second, after Laurie bonks Michael on the head with the fire extinguisher, she shouldn't just run away but stay there and keep whacking the snot out of him, even use his own KNIFE. Last, that is so stupid how Rodney comes into the scene to stop Laurie from ultimately putting the nail on his coffin after he falls onto the table, insisting there's no need to because he's allegedly dead. She shouldn't've been so cooperative back with him, knowing her brother way too well. She'd try to fight him away so she could go ahead and do it.
