Nowhere near as good as Carpenter's film, but worth it all the same. Efficient direction, cheeky in-jokes (Curtis' mother, Janet Leigh cameoes in a motherly role) and Curtis of course lights up the screen. This is the best of the sequels. And just think; it only took them six films to reach it...

Whilst this is still not a patch on the original Halloween it is without doubt the bext sequel of the series. We have seen this scenario many times since the first film but this is done with some style. Ignoring the previous three sequels was a smart move. I only wish this could have been made earlier.
Great to see Jamie Lee Curtis back in the role and acting opposite her Mum Janet Leigh which was a nice touch by the filmmakers. The acting is good, the film is fairly scary and Michael Myers return is as jumpy as is meant to be.
The director has done not only a good job in trying to recreate some of the look of the first film he has also included the original music and plenty of nods towards other classic slasher films. It's a shame that the late Donald Pleasance was not around to reprise his role because that would have been lovely to but the film is dedicated to him which was another nice touch.
My only complaint which isn't the fault of this film is why we sometimes have to have so many sequels. I know there is demand and money talks but had this been the third and final film we would have had a great trilogy. Too many sequels spoil the party as has been the case with the Friday 13th and Elm Street films. Sometimes less is more.
Overall though this a good film and certainly an unexpected surprise. Watch Parts 1, 2 and this and you will have a great night in.

Not really a review,as other people have waxed lyrical about the picture quality (I thought it was passable) just thought I'd let people know this blu ray does play on UK blu ray players.

This movie still gives me the creeps 13 years after I saw it for the first time. A must see for the real Halloween and Michael Myers fans.

I expected much less of the H20. The previous ones were older and this was a update, updates to me are rubbish usually, however this is quite a good film. Similar to the previous sequels, just more newer, but its well worth the watch, im glad i saw this and im quite tempted to buy it.

Halloween H20 takes place 20 yrs after the events of the first 2 Halloween films, the producers have completley ignored the H4,5 and 6 which for me was the only thing i didnt like.
Halloween H20 starts off with michael searching for Laurie who is now an headmistress at a boarding school, on halloween the kids leave and again michael myers has come for his baby sister.
So pratically steve miner who directed Friday the 13th Part 2 has a clean slate and this is the first proper sequel to Halloween II, here's my little problem, i am uncertain why they ignored 4, 5, 6 but my guessing is that either they wanted a clean slate or they wernt prowed of those sequels excpecialley 6.
so here we are H20 sets to be the first 4 star halloween film since II, the film is very entertaining and enjoyable, i liked how they reduced the gore expecialley since halloween 6 relied on gore, this film relies on what the original did suspense and good storytelling
The final confrontation between Michael and Laurie always sends tingles down my spine.
for fans of the halloween series this is a worthy one to add to your collection and for any movie fan or horror fan this again is great to add to your collection
Infact Michael is back and is better than ever.

Halloween H20 is an great film and is easily the best sequel since Halloween 4.
the idea of this film is that it is sent 20 years after Halloween 2 and Michael Myers returns for more slashing and deaths.
the script is good and the acting is excellent
(when compared to Halloween 6 the curse of Michael Myers)
however the reason I gave this 4 stars is because i feel that the films have become a little bit repetitive on the story
all in all if you are looking for a fairly decent film i would recommend this.

Halloween H20 is a nice attempt to return to the core of the Michael Myers saga, but I think it comes up a little short in several ways. First off, you have to forget that films three through six in the series ever happened, which is a pity given that I enjoyed those more than most fans seemed to. Now, I am sure you remember Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), Michael’s sister whom he tried to kill on several occasions in the somewhat distant past, the one who survived only to be killed in a car accident a short while later. Well, not only is she not dead, she has made two big mistakes in her new life as Keri Tate: she has had a son named John (Josh Hartnett) who has never seen a comb or hairbrush in his seventeen years of life, and she has developed some kind of relationship with a character played by Adam Arkin. I do not know why I dislike Adam Arkin so much, but I was begging Michael to kill him from the first moment I saw him. Anyway, Lori/Keri is now the headmistress of a supposedly highfalutin school in California, yet even after twenty years she is fighting her brother’s demon, seeing his face over and over again every day. Her son knows the whole story, but he is tired of being overprotected, telling his mother that Michael is dead and no longer a threat - despite the fact that they never found his body. He is just a boy, but he should know better than to think Michael is out for the count. A little break-in and bloody mayhem at the home of Dr. Loomis’ former nurse gives Michael all the information he needs to find his supposedly dead sister. Since it is Halloween, Michael thinks it is only fitting to celebrate the anniversary of his old murder spree with his newly discovered family.... Read more ›
