- 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?

I love how after Laurie chops Michael’s head off, the original theme kicks in, not any redone version made for this movie.
I have such a nostalgia for H20. We had it on VHS & I would watch it every Halloween after the original one.
Distressed Mermaid I do the same thing.
Abominable! How Halloween 2 is 8 million times better!
Why? It is a direct sequel to Halloween 2. Why skip it's predecessor?
It's the first Halloween movie I saw. With my sister on her birthday.
@@sgillman16 we didn’t have Halloween 2 for whatever reason. We only had the first one and H20. I didn’t see Halloween 2 until much later. I love it now though. :)
I love Halloween H20
This movie has a late 90s & Scream 1 & 2 vibe to it, the characters sounds like they from scream, same score, & same atomosphere
@Cthulhu make you Insane! k
@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
I am really impressed Cody those intros were really well done.
Thank you
Anthony Kulik if he could act
Dr. Loomis wow wat a nice guy
And Lee was Oscar worthy
This guy’s reviews are by far the most creative, entertaining & informative... thanks Cody! Looking forward to Halloween 2018.
Thank you
Jamie Lee Curtis's portrayal of PTSD in this movie is.... haunting.
The acting in these intro bits for halloween are super solid cody
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.
*MICHAEL!!!!*
Great moment. The score kicks in and you know it's ON.
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.
And her character is called Norma. Like Norman Bates.
That's great! I also love when Janet's character says to Laurie Strode, _"Ms. Tate...if I could be maternal for a moment..."_ ♥
The whole thing with Laurie Strode leaving Jamie and finding out about her death was actually Kevin Williamson's original concept for this movie as a continuation of Curse of Michael Myers before they made it a reboot. And I love your videos Cody. Your skits are badass!!!
I'm glad they kept that out. It would've made Laurie look like a terrible mother.
I love your reviews. The line “if you don’t have time to go get a mask, you don’t shoot the scene.” I laughed out loud, excellent point !
Still can't believe they still couldn't settle on one single good enough mask for this either.
MegaSting1981 at least the main one is one of the closest to the og
Yeah and this had the biggest budget of all the movies . It would have been cheaper to keep the real mask then it would have to spent big $ on a crap CGI mask .
Kyle Winfrey yeah
In one scene they actually use an H6 mask! They should've just stuck with it the whole movie
@@Matty.moo.89 totally. With all the shit the movies before this got regarding the mask, it's ridiculous they got to h20, the big return and all that and they still couldn't settle on one mask. The H6 one would have been fine in this.
LL Cool J surviving Halloween ALWAYS makes me happy when I see H20, and Jamie Lee Curtis living as well all I'm say.
hes the most luckiest black dood ever, cause he survived deep blue sea as well
@@mrflipperinvader7922 for real lol
Bustah survived to, Halloween has love for us lol
Lol is it because most Brothers die in horror movies 🤣?
I think it’s in his acting contract that he doesn’t die any movie he plays in either he is hurt or going to jail!! Lol I can dig it
It's one of my favorites. It doesn't seem long because it has great action. I love the the call back to Psycho. I was more impressed with Jamie's character of Laurie in this movie vs. Halloween 2018.
It doesn't seem long because it's less than 90 mins 😂
This film brings back memories the summer of 98 watching TV with my mom we see the preview
I said it looks good the next day she takes me to the video store and rents me part one and two and I ultimately got to see this in the theater
Still can't believe 20 years have passed since then
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 appreciate your work Cody. Keep it up!
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.
Because it was too much like scream the music the mask was horrible the movie was too polished it didn't feel like Halloween
You should do favorite kills from each franchise
Flexin yes! I loved how he did favorite kills in the nightmares 🙌🏼
Stabs
It's up now
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.
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.
I know some horror fans are biased when it comes to Halloween, but let's be real, Halloween jumped on the Scream boat and didn't even try hide it.
What's wrong with the fucking Scream movies? They're brilliantly written to be self-aware and thrilling
@@LukeLovesRose I completely agree 🙌
Angel James I’m not even going to lie, man. Akkad jumped on the Scream bandwagon.
@@LukeLovesRose There is nothing wrong with Scream movies, but Halloween is not Scream.
No question... H2O looks and feels like a Scream/I Know What You Did Last Summer rip off. And a lame one at that. I never understood why some people actually like the Halloween movies after part 3.
Those intros are veeery well made and super entertaining, keep it up Cody👍
I don't know why I love these intros so much. Literally just rewatched all your Halloween reviews
Haha thanks man. Very proud of these
@@CodyLeachYT you should be, they're very entertaining. Don't understand why people in the comments are bitching about them
Man the intros to these Halloween reviews have been fucking awesome. The way the music from the particular movie in the review gets more audible and rises to the speakers is amazing. Great work on this outstanding review series Cody, I can't wait to see the last few entires
Love this film and tbh Halloween 1, 2, and H20 is pretty much the perfect Halloween trilogy in my opinion
the mask when Michael is facing Jumanji boy. Least intimidating Myers ever.
As a die hard Halloween fan this film is the ending. My thoughts exactly Cody Resurrection never happened keep up the great reviews man!
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
23:10
The funniest shit i have seen all day😂
That was a perfect impression 😂
That made me laugh his face though while making the eyes lmao
The part where he gets kicked in the balls lmfaooo
I vote for Cody Leach to play "The Shape" in any future Halloween films
That would be awesome Tim
Wtf is “the shape”
@@KD_SmooveIt's Michael Myers' alternate name. He's called "The Shape" because of his lack of humanity. He is a person of pure evil.
By far the best sequel. I enjoy this even more than the original, although I acknowledge that the 1978 film is objectively superior
Yea sir the original Halloween is what made other horrors movie step up there a game
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.
Kobra_Kid I feel the same way , this movie is the ending to me.
Kobra Kid hell yes i agree with you!
Should we erase Halloween Resurrection from the world?
@@RJIS we should erase only Rick Rosenthal's Halloween II, Halloween 5, Halloween 6 both cuts, and Rob Zombie's Remakes. Keep only part 1, Return of Michael Myers, H20, Resurrection, 2018, Kills and Ends. If halloween was just 7 movies instead of 13 that would be great
@@josefengelhardt2767 Halloween 4 is mid, and Resurrection, Kills, and Ends are trash
@@RJIS Resurrection H20 Kills and Ends are Terrible movies BUT at least they're better than Rob Zombie's Remakes.
4 more days left for the new movie coming out.
Peanuts Gamer 4 more days till Halloween Halloween sliver shamrock
Is that drumdums voice doing that narrating from the beginning???? Big fan of both y'all can't go a day without watch both y'all videos. Awesome cameo
Yes
*The first Halloween movie I ever saw and is one of my favorites*
I will always love the 1978 Halloween more.
I think I saw 2 first. Parts of one because I was scared.lol and this one was definitely the first one I bought
This was supposed to be my first Halloween movie in theaters when I was 5. But, I got sick. Have always loved this movie. I agree, I don't understand a lot of the hate for it.
That opening bit of the last few sessions being stricken from the record was gold.
This is my second favorite in the Halloween franchise. I absolutely LOVE the opening with the nurse from the first movie. I really think the characters in this are great and you can't beat the ending of it. I don't understand people who don't like this one. To me it is perfect!!
It's to much like scream
For me i dont like it because it's flat and boring
How hard is it to do a simple blank rubber face mask? Seriously...
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.
Pretty sure it was either this film or Resurrection that hit theatres in Summer, not Halloween. So yeah that doesn't help with the "doesn't feel like an Autumn horror film" feel
This was my first Halloween movie in the theaters as well. I still remember the gasps at the end when Laurie whacks off his head.
I've always been a fan of this movie, Josh Hartnett is a FANTASTIC actor who i wish was in more movies and tv shows these days. I love your passion for Horror and the Halloween franchise. 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.
My favorite sequel hands down! Also I agree with you being set in Cali. I’m from Arizona and it never feels like fall here so H20 not having that feel is okay to me because I’m used to my falls being like that.
Great review as always dude!
The one thing everybody hates about H20 and I will ALWAYS defend is Chris Durand as Myers. The masks are weird but like you said I enjoy his betrayal. And H20 is my second favorite sequal in this franchise.
I Don't even think it's him I think it's the music and the mask it didn't feel like Halloween it felt like scream and micheal eyes was too big
Who did Chris Durand betray?
I'm a life-long Halloween fan and I loved this movie, thanks for another great review Cody!
I really enjoyed H20 it was my first experience of a Halloween film and I remember being told by my friend at school that it was 20 years after the original nightmare of what he done, and that excited me haha. But overall a very entertaining film and very jumpy and good characters and kills.
I loved the eyes showing when he gets beat up by the girl and he’s on one knee looking up as they run away, his eyes look pissed off and that look was awsome
Love the Easter egg with your prisoner number, release date of OG Halloween movie, very well done my dude, great review, just got into a Halloween kick and wanted to rewatch your playlist
omg when you talked about the kid from Jumanji, you were so right. He was such a bizarre character in this movie. He just didn't belong with that girl talking about what they talked about.
Josh Hartnett had bed head the whole freakin movie!!!
Josh Hartnett had bed head through the first 3 years of his career lol
That's the most retarded thing to complain about a movie.
@@LukeLovesRose he’s not complaining, just making a joke. Jesus Christ, and then you feel the need to call him retarded? You’re a f**king moron. Josh literally has the same hairstyle that he had in the faculty etc
@@LukeLovesRose r u ok?
@@Danny__Noble Huh? I didnt call The Dude anything
U go so in depth that these twenty minute reviews are so worth it
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 know it’s a negative to some but I appreciate that the body count wasn’t high in this film. People forget the body count in the original wasn’t high either. It’s still one of the best sequels without having a ton of kills.
every once in a while during these reviews, the graphic of Michael carrying Lynda catches my eye, but I don't see Lynda, I see Michael practicing for the ministry of silly walks. And I love it! Also, I LOVE H20 and it is the best ending! it was my first Halloween in theaters as well.
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?"
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.
Katie Sivak wow you don’t like orignal
@@MichaelMyers66793 They never said they didn't like the original it's just not their favourite.
I loved LL Cool J on that sitcom where he played a retired football player
🖕
You mean In The House
That tv show was awesome
Great Video Cody, found your channel thanks to people in the Slash N Cast Discord and i have subbed and watched a ton of your video's so far and enjoyed them all. I was wondering if you have seen the documentaries Never Sleep Again and Crystal Lake Memories and if so would you ever consider reviewing them? I would to love to hear your thoughts on them.
My favorite of the series. Decent review, I agree with a lot of things you said. Some of the things that you dislike about the movie or things that I like. I do agree that the four mask thing is odd, but it doesn’t bother me that much. Agree 100% with this movie being nostalgia
Been watching your videos for months and love them keep up the good work Cody
I'm loving these intros more and more keep up the great work 🙂👍
Man I really do enjoy your content it's truly excellent.
Still think they nerfed michael too much, going from parts 4& 6(i know it's a different timeline) but that michael would have made laurie think again before going back into that school,been harder to defeat,and racked up more brutal kills lol
Yeah micheal was weak
Got knocked down way too much. Seemed too human.
These leemis sessions is pure genius love it this needs to carry over in a fan film where Mr leach gets released on parole from Smith's Grove and comes back to haddonfield for the 40th anniversary. Where Myers shows up for intense final showdown against Cody!
I never knew about the use of the car from psycho, that is so cool. Top review man! Love this movie
Great review Cody! After watching all the Halloween films H20 is my second favorite film in this series as Laurie Strode becomes the hero we deserved against Michael. The ending was great but Resurrection ruined it lol!! My only complaint is Michael Myers masks are terrible imo.
6:55 I like that Josh at least got a fight scene with Michael Myers
That girl hits him with a rock and he falls to the floor but Josh hits him multiple times and it does little to his hp LMFAO the nurse in the beginning put up a good fight too
A rock packs more of a punch then just your fist.
Really loving this review series Cody 👍💯
It just occurred to me this movie came out three years after Curse of Michael Myers, which is crazy to me since they feel so far apart.
The Intro's are gold.
Great Reveiw.
man the diffrences in Cody and Decker shedows reviews are insane in there thoughts on these films. that said Cody's are way more inline with my thinking. i find Cody to be very Fair
Dang! This movies been sitting on my shelf to long, may watch it tonight! Say Cody, how about a Texas Chainsaw Massacre part two review huh ? "MEAT THE SAWYERS!""
why do you have so little subs and get such little views, your videos are honestly so good
All in due time
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.
Great review! I'm a Jason girl so I won't comment on Myers but I really couldn't sit through anything after H2. Those opening monologues are great!
I love Halloween H20 I really enjoy this movie!! It's really nostalgic to me bc I grew up with it when I was young. I definitely watch it on Halloween
love this film, im a huge Sarah Michelle gellar fan so I was thrilled to see the girls watching scream 2 in one scene, my one problem with this is that if the scream films exist in the Halloween franchise then how do they explain them watching Halloween in scream one, small detail but has always bugged me, fantastic review though Cody
This is my favourite Halloween movie. It isn’t the best Halloween movie but it’s definitely my favourite.
Cody, just started following you a few weeks ago and I've more than enjoyed your content. For the majority of your Halloween reviews (including 2018), we've been on the same wavelength with positives as well as negatives all the way down to what you said about the Curse mask being one of the best outside of the original. For this one, the ONLY other negative I had other than the ones you listed was the lack on continuity when you see his hand pull the knife from the cutting board in the opening scene. Where the hell were the burn marks sustained from him getting set on fire in H2? I could be mistaken but doesn't this timeline cover H1, H2, and this one? Either way, another kickass review. Enjoyed the shit outta your Scream reviews as well. Take care!
I gave this movie a 7/10 because it deals with accepting your fate and fighting your monster.
Drakkon Slayer Silver Claw 0 those are the worst themes... they’re boring af
How has nobody talked about codys acting in the Beginning of the videos its so good its not even that i love the beginning of the videos in this series its like a shot moive i love it good review
The only thing I hated was they disregard 4 5 and 6 and we never hear about Jamie again I always hated Laurie's son haircut just bothered me alot of 90s actors in this one
H20 is definitely my favorite tv movie to watch around this time but if I had to pop in a blue ray the original and part 4!
I love H20 my first Halloween movie i saw in theaters.
I like how it used the Scream music and the Gellar clip too
Golden review, like always. 😊 Keep up the good work
Surprisingly great sequel. I still think it was inspired by that-time hit Scream more than Halloween itself and that worked. Halloween 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and H20 are the only watchable movies in this long series. I really hate Zombie films, part 6 and Resurrection
Replace 6 with 5.
irina1296 ew
@@zacheryrodgers6983 5 and 6 both suck
noooo you dont say!!! of course it was due to the scream movies they both got the same music score!!!!!!! smh
@@Horrormaster13 6 isn't awful, 5 is.
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!
They also play a little snippet of the “psycho” theme when Janet Leigh walks to the car, which I love
Ey Cody, have you ever looked into launching an acting career? Those little intros you do are pretty cool and show you are capable.
I'd love it but never had the time or opportunity to pursue it.
Superb review. I didn’t like H20. Lot of dead time. No pun intended. Lol. Great review. Love the channel
Did you know John ottman originally scored all of Halloween h20 but later in post production they decided to use parts of his music in different areas like reuse it in different places and half of the music was Marco Beltrami‘s score from scream and scream 2 and mimic and where to found the original John ottman score for h20 is in the Pertait of terror soundtrack you might listen to them, (Edited)
Jamie Lee Curtis was exceptional in H2O. I absolutely loved it & any of the negative really didn`t bother me - get over it But as you said Cody H20 was the ultimate finale to Mike Myers & so satisfying Josh Hartnett has been off the scene for quite number of years now, amazing they didn`t rewrite his character into the forthcoming 2018 Halloween also to reboot his career cause lets face it, the main objective of H20 & Halloween2018 was/is to kick-start Jamie Lee Curtis career over & over again cause lets face it, when was Jamie Lee Curtis on the big screen last? Tanx so much Cody for doing these Halloween specials.
If the intro to Cody's reviews of the Zombie films is him spouting the "classic" dialogue we've come to expect from a man of Mr Cummings's "talents" I'll laugh my ass off.
I completely agree with you, Cody. I enjoyed it, better. Let me put this in my thoughts. This is a movie where I thought it reminds me something. Something a movie and a slasher details that it got it right on that level. First of all, I agree with you about the masks. There were too different, and Michael Myers shows on camera of his eyes. That's a really disturbance. Now, the first part of the film, to me, is truly infective. Mostly because of the level of violence was quite simple, not gruesome, not gore, not even depressing or disappointing moments. This film actually is a sequel of the "Scream" wannabe. This is the one where it gets real complicated situation where Laurie and John has to stick together about life. Instead of disappointed or depressed scenes of arguments. Now, Laurie Strode have a courage in her. She's 39 year old, she's an adult, she's brave, she got power, and she has to kill Michael Myers. Now, one of the sequels of the "Scream" series that does follow the story and reminded me something by noticing, and that is "Scream 4". This is the kind of a movie where Sidney Prescott was an adult, overcomes her fears, and face off against Ghostface. She’s not a teenager at her 20s, and not being scared anymore. I’ve seen this movie for a long time. And you know what? Laurie gets strong like Sidney, she get braver like Sidney, she's way better like Sidney, she does everything else like Sidney. That's the tough woman I want. The story, the marketing, and the satire, unlike those trashy sequels that you’ve just reviewed for months ago, they were gone too far, even part 3, pass. I think I enjoyed it more than the 5 sequels. I don't know, maybe because it's just that Laurie was not afraid anymore, and that's why I didn't like the other ones before. The whole thing in this are well done. So, yeah. It's just... good. It's a damn good "Halloween" sequel along with "Scream 4". I can't believe I found the right sequel, and I don't know why, but, overall, this one finally got it right. Nevertheless, the kills were kind of predictable, but I would recommend it slightly. Thumbs up for me on "Halloween H20: 20 Years Later".
Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998) 3/4 👍
Love the film. The only problems I have with the film is the mask changes and the Scream-like music.
H20 is overrated not as good as people make it out to be. I prefer Return of Michael Myers and 2018 over H20.
@@josefengelhardt2767 My 2 cents. I don't think it's overrated at all!
@@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
really like this movie and think its under appreciated. For my "canon" you have Halloween, Halloween II, and H2O. I like Halloween 4 a lot but think the three above make the best complete story for Michael and of course Laurie.
Also....as far as the setting not being creepy. ...ehhh thr flashbacks in town, and when the sun went down with Michael stalking LL at the security shack was perfect like in 78....behind the bushes and the the laundry room.....that's suspense....and ...ultimate.....Laurie waling up the driveway axe in hand just her and him left ......and that iconic voice yell Michael....makes my hair stand on end
H20 was the first Halloween I ever seen....the ice skate to the face freaked me out as a kid lol
Clicked on video as soon as I saw it couldn't wait for an upload
Imagine if Busta Rhymes was in this film, too and he catches Michael's ass tryna walk through the gate?
*SCOOT! SCADADDLE! GET THE FUCK OUTTA DODGE!* poking him on the head N shit😂😂😂💀💀😂💀😂
