Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)
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.

Great sequel to the original, it's true what they say great things come to those who wait.
This is one of the stronger films in the Halloween franchise. It has strong acting, decent plot and a pretty good ending.
20 years later, Laurie Strode is living under a new alias and is now working as a teacher at a college. However, Michael Myers has come back to Haddonfield in search of Strode after learning of her new alias. If that weren't bad enough, Laurie's son is being watched by Myers. But, this time Strode is tired of constantly running from the boogeyman and she's not gonna take it anymore. She's ready to face her greatest fear head on."Halloween H20" is the seventh film in the Halloween franchise and it's surprisingly fresh for that number. The overblown plot of Michael being involved in some crazed Kool-Aid cult has now been dropped, which is a wise move. Instead, he's brought back to his roots as just a crazed maniac hiding under a mask. Jamie Lee Curtis returns as Laurie Strode and gives arguably her best performance in the whole series. Her character has grown leaps and bounds since we last saw her in "Halloween II". She's much stronger and more willing to fight for what she loves. She's no longer the meek, teenager she once was. If there's any complaint with "H20" it's that it's not as scary as the films before it. The influence of Wes Craven's "Scream" can be felt all over this picture. Instead of going for all out scares, "H20" instead has more of a fun feeling than anything. That's not to say fun is a bad thing, but in certain scenes the intensity of the original feels a little watered down.Despite it's flaws, "Halloween H20" is a very strong entry in the Halloween franchise. It's smart, fun and has some good scares, and isn't that what Halloween is all about?
I'm not saying I hate Season Of The Witch,I loved it,it's just that if you think about it,this is the real Halloween III.First,the good,Jamie Lee Curtis,her character is well written and well acted,this movie is the perfect closure for her,and it's even cooler that this movie was all her idea.The kills are cool,and there is still some good suspenseful scenes.The acting is good,and I like all the horror movie references.My last and biggest pro,the ending,it was perfect and unexpected.Now,the cons,I think that the movie feels a bit too dated,it could have been a bit longer,and there isn't enough Michael.My last con,is the fact that the previous three movies are completely ignored!That means that so many fans were just left out.Otherwise,Halloween H2O is a fun movie that should have been slower.
