Summary

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.

Halloween H20: 20 Years Later

What to Expect

H20 is Halloween 20 years later ('78 - '98). The movie starts with Loomis' nurse and her neighbors being slashed by Mikey Myers 3 days before Halloween. Fast-forward 3 more days and we have Laurie Strodes, now all grown up, waking up from night terrors and having to swallow a fistful of pills just to calm down enough to crawl out of bed.

H20 follows Lauries teenage son and his friends as they try to have some fun on Halloween while Laurie tries to numb out her trauma with booze. Michael Myers tracks her down and all shit hits the fan. He starts by slashing the teens and slowly works his way toward Laurie. Only problem, for him, is that by the time he makes it to her she's had enough and decides to fight back.

H20 was an awesome modern sequel. It gives you everything you love to love about horror movies. Fun characters, endless jump scares, an epic cat and mouse battle and a satisfying crazy ending. Now I know why Halloween fans love this one so mu Read more...

Movie Review: Halloween: H20 (1998) ReviewHorror Lists: The Halloween Franchise Ranked Worst to First

Critic Reviews:

By its end, “Halloween H20” unfolds into a pretty plain slasher movie.. “Halloween H20: 20 Years Later” remains more or less watchable. Yet as I learned on this second go, the movie works better in your memory than it does in the moment, mainly because it has the most stars and best production value of any entry in the series.

– Culture Crypt

Halloween H20 was never going to be a deep, dark film that encouraged viewers to look deep within themselves and answer dark personal questions, but given how seriously previous entries had started to take themselves it’s just the sort of mindless slasher story the series needed.

– That Was A Bit Mental

Halloween H20 feels like a finish to the franchise. Jamie Lee Curtis has her final showdown with her brother and the battle is bloody but cathartic.
