  • Опубликовано: 14 окт 2018
  • Evil has finally come back for Laurie Strode. Halloween: H20 picks up 20 years after the first two films bringing us the climactic showdown between Michael Myers and Laurie Strode. Another debated film amongst fans, H20 goes back to basics and capitalizes on the slasher resurgence of the late 90s. Does this sequel deliver the climax it promises or should we have stuck with the Thorn storyline?

      ​​​@Cthulhu make you Insane! I Prefer 2018 over H20. H20 felt too much like Scream. That can be blamed on Miramax and the Weinsteins. Michael is not Scary in H20. You see his eyes all the time and they never explain where Michael has been for 20 years. in 2018 it also made sense cause they say he was caught and locked up for 40 years. Even Though H20 is my third favorite there are some flaws in the movie

    The moment when Laurie gets mad, when that fear turns into fury, it's such a great moment in the series. She finally had enough. And that is what makes H20 such a great entry. The final battle between her and Michael.

    Another cool thing about the scene with Janet Leigh in front of the original car: as she's walking away from Laurie, the score features a small allusion to the "Psycho" score by Bernard Herrmann. It's brief, but it's there. Nice little moment.

    It has the same writer as Scream, it uses the same score as Scream, the characters dialogue sounds like it belongs in Scream, they tried to add more comedy in a similar fashion to Scream, and the two teenage girls watch Scream in their room, probably in contrast to the time the characters in Scream watched the original Halloween.

    H20 aside from the original Halloween is one of my favorite movies I hate how people hate on it when it’s so much more above the other sequels in my opinion. I always get chills when she goes back to the school with the axe and throws the kitchen knives at him. So many suspenseful scenes from the cafeteria scene and the rest stop scene which could have been a kill to fill in the lack of killing through the film as u mentioned. I reviewed the original and h20 on my first channel a few yrs ago but re reviewed them . Good review as always and glad to see a fan of this film . I won’t hate on the person who disagrees tho like say some of the defend to the death fan boys.

    Thank you, Cody dead on review. Since I am old and remember the first Halloween when it was in the theater and it was the first movie I rented when we bought our first VCR, which was a BetaMax! But I have faithfully not only loved the movies I bought the movie tie in books and read them too, devoured them!
    I loved H20, and for me it was because of the end of the Franchise, I love so much! Like you, I think of H20 as the end of the first timeline and when I watched Resurrection, I wasn’t pissed that Busta Rhymes said, “Trick or Treat, Mutherfu***r!” Because it wasn’t Michael Myers to me. Doesn’t mean I didn’t hate Resurrection, I did and do, but I don’t get angry like some other old timers.
    H20 had Nurse Marion, which tied in the original two films, and I know I am the only one, but I liked Joseph Gordon Levitt. I thought it was awesome with the Hockey Mask and the finger that Michael gave the other franchise with the skate in the face. I really enjoyed seeing Laurie and the cracks around the facade that only grow as the movie goes on!
    I found it to be a satisfying ending and I also have to agree with your negatives, the multiple masks was distracting and constantly taking me out of enjoying the movie. And I’m sorry the Adam Arkin boyfriend character was just wrong, and creepy In every seen with Jamie Lee.
    Thanks for the awesome reviews! I have been keeping up with yours and “Dr. Leemis’” Vlogs to get me to this Friday, when my friends and I all old, folks are crowding into the theater!! Thanks again and awesome production work, acting and I am enjoying it throughly!

    I LOVE Halloween H20. It’s my personal favorite of the sequels that came after Halloween II. I love Laurie having an alcohol problem, I love her relationship with her son and how strained it is, I love Laurie confronting Michael at the end with no fear, there’s SO much to love here. More than anything, it does this thing that I love in any story and that’s a time jump. I love stories that pick up decades after the first part. To me it’s the real Halloween 3 and the definitive end to the story regardless of what nonsense came afterwards. My biggest disappointment is that the new Halloween coming out not just ignores part 2, but H20 as well. To me both those sequels deserve recognition and the best the series has to offer and it’s a damn shame they’ve been left out.

    I love this movie! I'm one of the people who considers the ending "canon", insomuch as I care about canon LOL.
    I love scary movies, right? But I'm a total scaredy cat, and I saw the original Halloween when I was maybe 7 and it scared me like crazy. When I saw this movie a few years later I stopped being afraid that every time I took out the trash at night, Michael was going to get me. I would just remind myself that she totally cut his head off and I was safe.
    It's also part of what made Resurrection less scary for me when it came out (again, total scaredy cat. A movie need not be /good/ to scare me). I was actually able to detach the way normal people who watch movies do and watch it while knowing none of it matters because H20 is the real deal.
    Only thing I kinda disagree with is the bit about the security guard's scenes. Yeah, they may not be necessary, but they work for me. I love how it starts out that his gf/wife thinks it's so stupid that he wants to write these things. And then as we continue to look in, she's started getting really into what he's written. IDK, just a little peek into his life that I enjoyed cutting some of the tension.

    The pacing issue that really struck me last time I watched this was that after Laurie locks the gate behind her, her son just vanishes from the film. We never see him again, and it just feels weird. And overall, it feels more like a summer film, despite claiming that's it's Halloween. The original felt more autumnal, and it actually was shot in the summertime.

Love these videos Cody! I agree about the third act and the ending of these movie. Super entertaining. Love the Physco fact. Dude i never noticed that about the masks thats awesome.

    Great review as always dude!

    The way you felt in the intro when you found out that 4,5,6 was wasted is exactly how I felt and still do today lol
    It ranks in the lower levels of the franchise to me, but not the worst by far and I dont hate it overall. There are elements I love about the movie, especially the 3rd Act. But i felt this was ultimately a waste of a great idea by the director making it the flavor of the month in regards it is identical to Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, except here we know the killer obviously lol
    And that's why i love your channel: even though I dont always agree, I respect your explanation because you give 100% in it! Nice job Cody

      and that CGI mask wouldn't have been so bad if they only showed it in that brief second when the kid is startled, just cut the shot of Michael starring at him right out, and it wouldn't be quite the sloppy mess it turned out to be. "Is Michael glowing?"

    Even after 20 years, Jamie Lee Curtis said that seeing Michael Myers on set still scared her.
    LL Cool J's line, "Comb your hair!" was ad-libbed, inspired by Josh Hartnett's messy haircut.
    Jamie Lee Curtis considers the film a thank you note to her fans. Curtis: "Without that early career, I truly don't think I would have been an actor."
    The shortest "Halloween" movie in the series, with a run time of 86 minutes.
    Chris Durand - who plays Michael Myers - was born in 1963, the same year his character killed his older sister Judith.
    Michael's knife is a 14" Wusthof.
    First film in the series to be released in the summer. Every film since including Rob Zombie's followed this trend, with exception to Halloween (2018) which came out around Halloween.
    No official soundtrack was ever released for the film, but a compilation album by John Ottman was released in the United States and Germany under the Varese Sarabande label and includes the original score by Ottman and numerous other cuts.

    I loved this movie. My second fav Halloween movie after 4. It was awesome having JLC back and I liked all the cast but I missed Donald Pleasence a lot.
    I loved the Michael/Laurie showdown and her ending Michael was badass. I liked the return to OG Halloween and getting rid of all the weirdness the series had become.I liked Josh Hartnett and Michelle Williams characters. I wish Jamie had lived and been played by DH had her reconnect with Laurie.
    I think the follow up should have focused on Josh Hartnett and Michelle Williams Characters.
    This is the first and only Halloween movie I saw in the theater so it holds a special place for me for that.

    Are you glad they deviated away from the thorn trilogy or would you have rather had them mention it and Jamie? I heard there was a deleted scene where she is mentioned in front of Laurie and she kind of has a breakdown and is distraught over abandoning her. I don't think it was ever filmed but I believe it was on the drawing board at one point.

    I loved watching this movie when I was younger but yeah I never noticed the CGI mask until I was older. I still don't know how I feel about the eyes but I see what you mean. Curtis is amazing for returning to this franchise. Their fight is awesome you can tell she's petrified but she's determined compared to Laurie's last outing. I like that we got to spend time with the characters and even Nurse Chambers at the start their scenes were entertaining and you got a feel for those characters too. Halloween at its strongest, I give a crap what happens to the characters. I never could when it came to Friday 13th characters. I prefer suspense over high body counts of people I don't care about. Nice review!

      @@kennypham3856 that's fine if you like it but i just didn't care for H20 all that Much and here are reasons why i think it's overrated.
      1. Michael's Mask. When i see Chris Durand's Michael Myers i don't see Michael Myers i see someone dressed up like Michael Myers. The mask looks really stupid and you see his eyes all the time throughout the film. His mask in Return of Michael Myers wasn't good but at least you didn't see his eyes.
      2. They never explain where Michael has been for 20 years. In Return of Michael Myers it made sense cause they say he has been in a coma for 10 years and in 2018 it made sense cause they say he was caught and locked up for 40 years.
      3. The Music is not very good because in some scenes the use music tracks from Scream
      4. The Final Fight feels kinda goofy anf unintentionally hilarious such as when Laurie hits Michael on the head with a Fire Extinguisher.
      There are some things i did like in H20
      Like the scenes in the School, The scene with Jamie Lee Curtis and Janet Leigh (The car in that scene was a nice little reference to Psycho) and of course the ending where Laurie Beheads Michael. Sadly it was ruined by Resurrection.
      If you enjoyed H20 fine good for you but for me it's just not that good. I prefer Return of Michael Myers and 2018 over H20
