Notes:
Laurie Strode is still struggling to put her past behind her.
Living under the alias Keri Tate in a small town with her 17-year-old
son, she works as the head mistress of a private school. Now,
twenty years later, Michael Myers is suddenly back in her life
with a vengeance and its not just Laurie Strode he's after. The
terror begins for a whole new generation.
Horror - Halloween: H20 is the latest installment of the bloody slasher series. The target audience of teens and young adults will eat it up. Older audiences looking for a plot will be put off by the lack of one, not to mention the large amount of violence; however, older viewers who are familiar with the original may find some enjoyment here. Children should be kept away.
PROFANITY: Frequent use of strong profanity. SEX/NUDITY: None VIOLENCE: Constant--stabbings, shootings, lots of blood. DRUGS/ALCOHOL: Alcohol drinking, often by teens, at home and at a restaurant. ACTION: A number of intense chase/scare scenes. COMEDY: Some wisecracks here and there.
HALLOWEEN H20 -- no, not the 20th sequel, though it may seem like it --
is counting on a bit more than name recognition to draw viewers this
time around. It's ace-in-the-hole is nostalgia value, with Jamie Lee
Curtis returning to the role that made her famous 20 years ago. That
effective bit of back story carries H20 over the pitfalls of genre
convention -- blood spilled, startling musical cues, the
sex-equals-death morality of maniacal murder. Still, it scores big
points with a climactic showdown in which twenty years of homicidal
sibling rivalry overflows. Though too predictable to be truly
thrilling, it's a fitting final round for one of screen history's
bloodiest family feuds.

Twenty years ago was the night HE came home. And so began Michael
Myers' bloody reign of terror in John Carpenter's classic thriller
HALLOWEEN which established new genre hallmarks and introduced
Jamie Lee Curtis to terrified audiences nationwide with her break-out
performance as Laurie Strode. Now, twenty years later, Laurie
and Michael are about to meet again. On the eve of its 20th anniversary
the legendary scream queen is back to put evil in its place ...
for good.
In this sequel to the original HALLOWEEN Jamie Lee Curtis returns
as Laurie Strode - who, twenty years later, is still struggling
to put her past behind her. Living under the alias Keri Tate in
a small town with her 17-year-old son, John (Josh Hartnett in
his feature film debut), she works as the head mistress of a private
school. Her only confidante is Will Brennan (Adam Arkin), the
school guidance counselor.
Now, twenty years later, Michael Myers is suddenly back in her
life with a vengeance and its not just Laurie Strode he's after.
The terror begins for a whole new generation, including Jimmy
(Joseph Gordon-Levitt) the next door neighbor, Ronnie (LL Cool
J) the aspiring novelist who works as the school security guard,
John and his girlfriend Molly (Michelle Williams) and their friends
Charlie (Adam Hann-Byrd) and Sarah (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe). When this
small group of students ditch the school camping trip to have
their own Halloween fun, they find that blood is thicker than
water. Once again, Laurie Strode must endure a Halloween from
Hell.
