Halloween: H20: Review By Null and Void.

Again, I would prefer to keep this one short:

Producer #1: "Hey, everybody sure likes them "Scream" movies."

Producer #2: "They sure do!"

Producer #3: "We should make a movie based on a great slasher character and fill it with W.B. kids."

Producer #1: "Give that f*cker a raise!"

Seriously...?

It could have been a great idea if they had stuck with the continuity established in "Halloween 4-6" ("original treatment for "H20" included a scene in which "Halloween 4" through "6" are acknowledged as being "in continuity" and "canon" are completely accurate. The scene did exist, and involved a bitchy student at Keri/Laurie's school giving a class report on the "Haddonfield Murders", and going into great detail about Jamie Lloyd, Danielle Harris and JC Brandy's character from "Halloween 4" through "6". The student talks about Jamie losing her parents in an auto accident, as was the explanation in those sequels for Laurie Strode's absence. (In fact, the only reason for Laurie to be in the Witness Production Program with her son under an assumed name as "Keri Tate" at all was because the original story for "H20" was conceived like this, with "Halloween 4" through "6" in continuity, and Williamson thus being required to create an explanation for Laurie's "death" in the previous movies and her subsequent resurrection.) The student's report chronicles Jamie's being hunted and eventually killed by her uncle, Michael Myers. Upon hearing this oral presentation in the classroom, a grief-stricken Keri/Laurie then retreats to a restroom and throws up. This scene was of course omitted from the actual film." Unbelievable.)

Again, could have been terrific, but fell short.

However, it was a good ending to the series. "Resurrection" was just a fan film compared to this. And this wasn't even that good either.
