H20 is far more character-driven than any of its predecessors.

While Carpenter's film was all about economy and a skilful use of empty space, Miner's busy compositions have a cluttered feel that is echoed by superfluous orchestral music.

I'm currently stuck watching the revival of a movie form that appalled me the first time around, then disappeared from view after a torrent of thoughtless re-workings that resembled bloody tape loops.

...Steve Miner is no Carpenter.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 12, 2002

Halloween: H20 is as stylish and scary as it is ultra-violent. It brings back a stunning Jamie Lee Curtis in the role that made her a star and it's a work of superior craftsmanship in all aspects.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 21, 2001

...the throwaway jokes are few and far between, and after a pre-title sequence reintroduces Michael and shows just how far up suspense and thrills can be ratcheted, Halloween H20 declines into the routine.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000

...the film is as predictable as all the other slasher flicks that followed Halloween.

I imagined Miss Leigh telling her friends, 'They wanted me to do a cameo in the remake of Psycho, but I said, hell, I'd do Halloween: H20 before I'd lower myself to that.'

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

The scary slasher-movie genre has been ratcheted up several notches with the release today of Halloween: H20.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 1, 2000

It's a fitting enough capstone for one of horror cinema's more memorable series, I suppose, but when it ended I wanted, more than anything else, to go peruse the original.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Taken as a sequel to Halloween, this is just above average; taken as a sequel to Halloween Two, which is where most of its backstory comes from, it looks terrific.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2000
