I don't make it a habit of throwing something together on my mobile but I never really had any big plans to write anything lengthy because I'm saving it for next year when Halloween H20 has it's own 20 year anniversary. To think I was twenty-one when this come out back in 1998. To think Carpenter's own will turn 40. I will hopefully be on this Earth still next year to celebrate. When Curtis decided to join the cast of one last Halloween film due next year it seemed fitting it would come out when this film is twenty years old. Hartnett debuting as Curtis's kid and Gordon-Levitt just a teenage kid with a hockey stick getting a face full of skate shoe blade and Michelle Williams also quite young; it was that generation full of promising young talent. The generation of Dawson's Creek and Scream, Buffy and I Know What You Did Last Summer. Myers is now brought into this generation with a simple story of a serial killer locating the sister that got away at a North California private school. Laurie and Michael squaring off. I do like the finality of this film, and since I basically consider the next film to be a bad dream and a theater experience I can never retrieve, H20 is a slight, non-significant but decent way to close the book on the Michael and Laurie story. It doesn't associate itself with 4 or 5 (Carpenter and Hill not associating themselves with those movies, either), so fans of those sequels might consider this film's snubbing its nose at them irritating. LL Cool J and Adam Arkin cast as a security guard and teacher (lover of Curtis), not to mention, Janet Leigh as an employee of the private school, prove that this film was taken seriously. Scream (1996) probably should be thanked for that. Just the same, Curtis, ax in hand, calling out for her brother, tired of fearing his return and danger to her and her son, is easily my favorite scene. But the choice few victims, giving the film a minor body count, certainly might not be an ideal lure for slasher fans wanting a bunch of folks impaled by the blade. Curtis plagued by memories of brother and how she just can't recover from what Halloween represents--that anxiety and fear--gives her something to work with.
