I loved Halloween H20,not because it scared the pants off me,but because it kept me in hysterics throughout the whole film! I avoid horror movies like the plague because I am a wuss and cant stand watching brutal and gory murders being carried out,but Halloween H20 is so poorly performed that not even an in-line skate wedged into the face of a teenage hockey player could frighten me. Jamie Lee Curtis returns as Laurie Strode/Keri Tate and her crazy brother Micheal Meyers is back to terrorize her,for another Halloween.Hot young talent Josh Hartnett makes his impressive acting debut as John Tate,the rebellious 17 year old son of Curtis who is sick to death of living under his tortured mother's thumb and yearns for independence.The fact that he is the nephew of a psychotic killer doesn't phase him.Dawson's Creek actress Michelle Williams performs decently enough as Molly Cartwell,Hartnett's intelligent girlfriend,who soon learns her boyfriend's family secret. The real highlight of H20 is the scenes that call for characters to scream blue murder.You'll either be on the edge of your seat,with your heart racing,or like me,doubled over in hysterics.I first viewed this film in the early hours of the morning and managed to wake my house up with my laughter,which is surely an indication that Halloween H20 is not bone chillingly frightening.
