- A retrospective covering Steve Miner and Kevin Williamson's Halloween H20 and its abysmal sequel Halloween Resurrection, the two movies that gave new life to the franchise and then quickly killed it, covering the origins of H20, the behind the scenes turmoil, what led to the disaster that is Resurrection, and the legacy of these 2 films during the strangest time in Michael Myers' history.

Where would you rank Halloween H20 and Resurrection in the franchise?
In the middle between the thorn trilogy and the rob zombie films
Both very low.
H20 I really enjoyed. Resurrection I'd put at the bottom just above Zombie's Halloween 2. BTW, I haven't seen Kills or Ends.
H20 is one of my favorite sequels here, below 4 and above II. Resurrection is horrible, worse then Kills.
🤬 I try to pretend they don't exist
One of the funniest things I ever saw was from Halloween: Resurrection. I was there in the theater, kinda laughing to myself at just how bad and generally not scary it was. It ends and the lights come up and I see a teenager get up, looking absolutely terrified and pale. And he just vomits on the floor. Normally that would gross me out but the thought of someone disturbed at such a bland, bad horror movie has always amused me, instead.
Holy shit hahaha I would never forget that and I'm sure that kid hasn't either!
Maybe the movie made him sick to his stomach?
That is hilarious 😂
@MattDraper @ComicTropes Seeing two of my favourite creators interact feels so cool and weirdly surreal😂
The only explanation is "white death" lol
Halloween goes in circles. Starts amazing with a new movie that bring fans back and ends with fans pretending the last movie didn’t happen. It’s true for every timeline. Which Halloween has more timeline then Zelda.
True, this franchise can never seem to stick the landing no matter how many times they’ve rebooted it.
This statement should be pinned because it’s so true
I partly agree. But it's not true for every timeline! The OG/COT timeline has a good final film (if you take the Producer's Cut as the canon ending to the timeline!). The Producer's Cut of H6 is a decent sequel, Donald Pleasense even said it's script was the best since the OG Halloween. But the Weinstein gore cut that calls itself the Theatrical cut is the worst, even worse than Resurrection and Ends, cause it is tons of plot holes, with the important elements (curse and cult) cut out and the flashes and soundtrack destroyed the whole movie. No wonder Paul Rudd didn't like this cut of the movie, he hated what they did to his character in the reshots, because they destroyed Tommy Doyle and made him stupid.
I think it's pretty cool how they made one of the best Halloween films and then followed it up with a complete parody of the entire franchise. Though I'm forever grateful for the Busta Rhymes "trick or treat" line.
The "trick of treat" line ALMOST makes up for the rest of the movie. Almost.
H20 was not even remotely close to anything near "best" anything. It was just as garbage. Dead Dr. Loomis somehow having files telling anyone where felon Laurie Strode who faked her death lived, the authorities would like to know since its a felony and Loomis would lose his medical license as he would be considered an accomplice. Somehow Michael Myers driving a beater all the way from Illinois to Northern California on one tank of gas unnoticed, on top of the mother not reporting the car stolen at all. LL Cool J and the constant reading his romance novel or just phone calls with his wife. The movie was just as bad. It was Dawson's Creek meets Halloween. Thats not even getting into the mask that constantly changes even between scenes since there were 10 different masks.
This might be an unpopular take, but Busta Rhymes is the only entertaining part about this movie. People like to hate on him, and for good reasons, but if you treat this movie as a parody of the series, he’s fun to watch. Everything else about this movie completely sucks, but Busta Rhymes is the only entertaining thing about it.
@@hashbrowns7188Not even unpopular. Resurrection is boring asf without Busta. Even the final girl was trash. They had to dub her screaming.
@@mrexecutive it’s probably not unpopular now, but I remember when Resurrection came out, Busta was definitely hated on as much as everything else in the movie, well at least by horror fans.
I like to headcanon that Laurie did kill Michael at the end of H20 and Resurrection is just another in a long list of alternate timelines
Pretty much everyone’s hope lol
The kid who vomited was a woke juvenile puts who missed his dance class
I like to headcannon that nobody knows what happened to Michael after the original classic. Everything else doesn’t exist lol
i swear in my mind these two movies merged and I remembered a single movie about lori's son being on a reality tv show at the meyers house. that might have been better than what we got tbh lol
That sounds way more interesting! You could honestly do this sequel without putting Laurie in a mental home for years or killing her at all. Between sequels it's been a few years. Michael has limped back to his house in Haddonfield to heal up and wait out - he survived by switching corpses but no one knows (if you recall the ambulance actually blows up and is on fire at the end so just say the fire spread and burned up the head too).
Meanwhile Laurie's son has Something To Prove as his character motivation since hey, he essentially ran away from the last movie right? Of course even he doesn't want anything to do with a reality show in Michael Myer's house, but is tricked into joining the production somehow by the sleazy producer. This turns into a fight for survival etc. with Hartnet stepping into his mom's role and doing his best to lead everyone to safety.
I'd like to see a revamp of Pt. 4 with Laurie and her daughter in Pt. 4 and then a revamp of Pt 7 with her son and daughter together.
Thought ll cool would have been the new milk dud loomis bald
But that's not fair to H20. Batman Forever was supposed to be far better than it turned out to be. But it should never be completely mistaken with Batman & Robin
H20 is my favorite Halloween besides the original.
I find it deeply comforting. Like the 2018 Laurie, she’s damaged-but she didn’t throw away 40 years as a gun nut and abusive mother.
She struggled. Really hard. With addiction, with parenting. She owns one gun and it only brings her trouble (her boyfriend shoots LL Cool J by mistake).
In contrast, 2018 shows that trauma makes you a shakey mess. Who owns a lot of cool and rad guns. A lot of people with trauma hold it together. They do function. Sometimes in unhealthy ways.
H20 Laurie confronts her demons. And over comes them. When the finale comes, she acts like the babysitter we met in 1978, and she sends the kids away to safety. She’s selfless.
I suppose one is more realistic than the other. But it is a story about the boogeyman.
I do deeply love this film. It’s so brisk and fun. It’s like a fairytale where a loving mother destroys her demons, and wins the day.
And all the girlies know, Resurrection doesn’t count. Because the “paramedic” sits up like Dracula after flying thru the windshield in H20. So obviously not canon. Let me have this.
LET ME HAVE THIS.
The first two movies and H20, I thoroughly enjoy. The original and H20 being my favourite. H20 was actually my introduction to the franchise so that likely influences my tastes. I have a soft spot for late 90's teen horror which H20 represents brilliantly. It's a time capsule of that style of cinema. I get the fuzzies just thinking about this time.
Agreed! I get so much crap for liking this movie and honestly, the only movies that exist in my timeline are Halloween (1978), Halloween II (1981), and H20.
It’s very interesting how H20 was meant to be the film that would revive the Halloween franchise and then Resurrection, ironically, killed it again. Also, interesting how they began to release these films in the summer instead of the thematically appropriate time of October.
H20 didn't revive it, Scream did.
@@travzimmerman1340um it kinda did imo
@@travzimmerman1340yea because this felt like a scream wanna be.
@@travzimmerman1340 H20 was more Scream than Halloween, so both is true.
And if they had just waited one more year with the release of H6 or released the PC in cinemas in 1996, instead of waiting tons of years to officially release that cut, then we might have gotten a more Halloween themed H7 and H8 instead of Halloween characaters staring in movies that feel like Scream, F13 or IT.
"Halloween: Something" is an accurate title for most of the movies in this series. I say this as a fan of Carpenter and the original Halloween.
Tom Kane, the voice actor who among many things, did the Loomis impression, suffered a stroke in 2021 and has retired from acting. I hope he's doing okay
i always wondered why they never focused on laurie’s son for halloween resurrection. they could’ve definitely made it a revenge story for him and for michael to also come after him to finish off laurie’s own bloodline. halloween resurrection had some fair paths it could’ve taken to tell a good story, at least a story better than the one we would’ve gotten.
Probably because Josh Hartnett had become a bigger star by that point and didn't care.
@@antbooboo5884 And because John is the most boring Laurie kid.
I love how the original script sounds. Laurie's turmoil would be so much more effective if she was trying to cope with leaving Jamie and finding out her fate. Would have also made her overprotective relationship with John more realistic.
I agree. It also would have made sense then, that Michael looks like he never burned or had shot out eyes.
I don't understand why they changed it last minute (you can still see the parallels of both timelines, like Laurie's "death" or the H6 mask and jumpsuit in Michael's first scene (wish they had stuck with it, wouldn't have made Michael look like a clown, would have made him scary again).
We even have comics that connect H6 PC and H20. If they made it canonically one timeline, then I would have had no problems with that movie.
They could have even explained why Michael wasn't as strong as he was in 1995, because Tommy broke the Curse.
Man, that bit of soundtrack from Halloween 2018 around 21:45 is so damn good
This was my first Halloween (H2O) movie I saw in theaters so I have a soft spot for it. Great review Matt!
The strangest part of the Halloween Ends discourse was the repeated insistence on it being the worst movie in the franchise when Resurrection is right there
5, 6, Zombie's remake and its sequel too.
@@Xehanort10 How can you compare H5 and H6 (Producer's Cut) with abominations like Resurrection and Ends!?
H5 and H6 PC are a million times better movies than the other two and they have the main theme of the franchise Michael vs Loomis. It was never Laurie vs Michael. It was always Michael stalking and following his victims and Loomis doing the same with Michael. That's why H5 was the closest to the original in how the main theme goes and H6 PC gave us a conclusion to that theme and the timeline. Daniel Farrands and Akkard aren't at fault for the stupid and aweful TC/gore cut the Weinsteins wanted and that was later aired in cinemas.
@@valeriebreidenstein8362 5 had stupid shit like annoying Tina, the writers overexaggerating how crazy Loomis was, the 2 clown cops, Michael crying because Jamie called him uncle. 5 also started the Thorn stuff with the tattoo. And in the producer's cut of 6 Michael goes from evil incarnate to the puppet of a cult led by a guy who appeared in 1 scene in the original. Both cuts also have Paul Rudd making dumb faces that make it seem like Tommy Doyle finds Michael trying to kill him funny. Michael in the producer's cut being beaten by Tommy putting stones on the floor and saying "Samhain" was stupid too.
@@Xehanort10 H5 and H6 PC still are much better than Ends or Resurrection and I for once like the fact, that michael isn't a one dimensional pure evil killer with no personality whatsoever. We have tons of pure evil villains without a cause for their actions like Art or Freddy. Michael being a victim himself is what makes you feel for him and understand why he acts the way he does and why he doesn't kill everyone on sight, why he shows mercy and human emptions, even if they are rare, or why he sometimes hesitates like he's thinking "what am I doing here?" (like when Laurie called him by his name in H2 or when Jamie saw the real him, being the first in many years)
Also PC's ending isn't stupid. And Tommy even explained it before to Loomis. The rocks he lied out on the floor are runs of light that counter the dark power of the Thorn rune, activated by the word Samhain. It makes tons of sense that a celtic curse can only be broken by a ritual with similar powers.
And no other timeline made even closely sense with Michael's actions or why he seemingly just gets his eyes back between H2 and H20, of he is only human or how he was so strong in Kills, but so weak in ends.
The only version of Michael that really makes sense is COT Michael. He is badass, but still human inside, even if the Curse doesn't allow him to show it.
People were hype after seeing the shot of Laurie and Michael stare at each other in the trailer. My cousin and I were about 13/14 at the time and were big fans of the OG. We thought it was alright and not the worst of the franchise. Still weep for them not paying Carpenter whatever he wanted. What could have been
Thanks for the amazing video Matt ❤
Dumb actress should have read the contract
Your videos are so entertaining! I was a teen when H20 came out, and had really fallen hard for slashers after Scream, and I Know What You Did - so I loved this!
I love your halloween breakdowns Matt.
The rolling head is good what the hell you talking bout Willis?
@@gkroll8467 You replied to the wrong commebt
another excellent retrospective, Matt!
really appreciated thee Abyss reference ^_^
Most underrated channel on CZcams
Look at all these hoops producers have been jumping through for decades because the hook of the series couldn't just be "horrible things happens on Halloween night in the midwest".
Another great video. Happy Halloween 🎃
The opening part where he talks about how the series was a speed run of the Thorn trilogy really made me realize one thing. The Halloween franchise is king at having a hot sequel that people like and getting people interested in the series again, only to immediately have a bad sequel that kills all the good will they earned.
Only after this video did I realize that I always, always forget these movies exist, and I am a HUGE fan of the series. In fact, I've believed for years that I owned the entire series on Blu-Ray, but the reality is that I don't own either of these, the Zombie films, or any of the recent trilogy.
Anyway, another dope video, Matt. You're one of the few creators whose videos I watch the second I get a notification. Always high-quality, and I dig that you're injecting more of your sense of humor into the videos. I was cracking up the whole time! Cheers, dude. Keep it up!
Thank you Matt
"No Michael! Don't kill L.L. Cool J!" Lmfao 😂😂
I prefer to pretend the retcon to the ending of H20 didn't happen. But honestly, I'm a simple person... anything Halloween with Jamie Lee Curtis in it, I'm gonna watch it
Another banger video
Great vid
Halloween Resurrection is one of the funniest movies of all time. From the opening Assassin's Creed Michael Myers kill to Busta Rhymes beating the shit outta him its a comedic masterpiece. For it's horror and preservation of a legend it's uhhhhh no good.
Love the Abyss TNA name drop
I really like H20 I usually flip flop between it and 4 for my 4th favorite Halloween movie. While I acknowledge and understand why resurrection is hated I would honestly watch it over the 2 Rob Zombie movies and as well Kills and Ends. While I love a lot of the movies in this series I think that it needs to come to a definitive end.
Now those sounds pretty sweet and cool❤❤❤😎
Halloween Resurrection is bad, but we still haven't gone to space yet, the true hallmark of a horror franchise that's lost its way, I say this as someone that enjoys Jason X, but I still have to call it what it is. I always laughed at the fact it was Busta Rhymes that ended Myers, imagine telling someone 20 years before that was how the franchise would end, they would have called you crazy. I do like H20, as you said, it came out in the right moment of the scream era, plus it serves as the prequel to deep blue sea lol. Halloween will never end, so theirs always going to be ups and downs, it would be nice if we could just get at least one definitive trilogy, rather than them dropping the ball between sequels.
Random trivia: Tom Kane, the voice actor impersonating Donald Pleasance in H20, played a parody of Dr. Loomis on the Boondocks cartoon.
I remembered H20 but I hadn't even heard of Resurrection before. I see now, that was for the best.
Chris from Comic Tropes commenting on a Matt Draper video. My worlds and the Multiverse are colliding. I can die happy.
Halloween H2O has the best “ending” to the Halloween franchise, the way that theme kicks in when Michael gets decapitated and we listen to Laurie breathing… it’s perfect
Omg I was waiting for this to drop, I'm happy you made my day Matt.
Also I joined your Patreon, how do I get Early access on CZcams?
I also hated how they separated Jamie and John, not even the 2018 trilogy allowed them to be together.
Thanks for joining! Just go to my Patreon page and I link all of my videos there to watch early. Click on any of them and you'll be able to watch early.
Nice Fabio Frizzi music in the BG. 👌
"... The moment I'm contractually obligated to include in any Halloween video." That friggin killed me 😂
Brilliant video. Yes to every point you make about Michael in Dawson's Creek & Halloween: You'll Give Us Your Money.
To the layman or uninitiated out there, it seems understandable that you include Halloween 3 in the list of sequels. But you & your fans are very much initiated into the lore. How different this franchise would be had they listened to Carpenter. The Shape would still be the Boogie Man. And maybe not a goddamn Funko Pop or lawn inflatable.
The funniest part on Resurrection for me is when Freddy is in the Myers get up and the real Mike walks up behind him and Freddy goes off on him and real MM just turns and walks away.What?!?
I would love a retrospective like this for Cursed. Underrated werewolf movie that made me terrified of parking garages
I still am so saddened we never got the original cut of the movie. It seemed to be a nice dark comedy & cult classic when in production but latter morphed into a “meh” due to Studio Meddling half-hearted werewolf movie
That Busta Rymes line is amazing, incredible. Horrid movie tho, I remember watching it one afternoon, truely I had nothing else to watch on tv
Halloween H20 is very basic in story telling, it's got the shortest running time of all the Halloween movies. H20 was a success because it was the return of Laurie Strode, it was an Anniversary Halloween film. Great Review!🎃
Yes! Love your Halloween videos Matt. Will you do the new trilogy at some point?
Definitely!
@@MattDraper I watch your other Halloween videos non stop. Can’t wait!
I don't hate H2018 (in fact, it's probably the only one out of the Blumhouse trilogy I could consider good), but when I came back to H20, I felt that Laurie's story felt more realistic and grounded. She dealt with a traumatic experience, and because of that it leads to her having a dysfunctional relationship with her son. However, it's not because, "Laurie was having a Sarah Conner moment preparing both herself and her family for Michael Myers inevitable return with guns and weapons." It's because that night has forever changed her, and she projects that trauma onto her son like how most parents unintentionally do. She's super overbearing and protective because she doesn't want anything to happen to her only kid, and as a young teenager who wants to experience more in life, it causes an obvious rift in their relationship.
Halloween 2018 is "The Force Awakens"......A very safe and modern rehash of the original story with new and legacy character intertwined. It adds nothing in terms of story or value to the franchise.
H20 is absolute hot garbage!!!
Halloween 2 (1981) will always be my favorite of the franchise. When it comes to Halloween: Resurrection, as bad as it was, I still think it's better than the Rob Zombie movies or even the last 3 that came out in 2018, 2021 and 2022.
Excellent video, Matt, but Halloween II (1981) is not a disappointment, definitely not in my opinion.
As a matter of fact, of the 13 films (so far) in the Halloween franchise, my favorites are the original three (1978, 1981, and 1982) and Halloween: H20.
Everything else ranges from mediocre to God awful, with Resurrection and the entire David Gordon Green trilogy at the bottom of the list.
H2 ('81) has far more atmosphere and tension than the original. It also eliminates the horrendous writing of Michael driving around in a car......My favorites are Halloween '81, Halloween '78 and Season of the Witch. The rest are pandering garbage.
I popped for the Abyss thumbtack reference and also marked out for the mention of La Puente because I live literally down the street from where they filmed that scene lmao
The only good part in resurrection was when Busta Rhymes was dressed as Micheal and yelled at the real one. 😂
I think it was refreshing to move from Handonfield to another place, plus the whole red brick school campus feels very autumn/fall like.
The first slasher i ever watched. Halloween h20 was awesome.
@mattdraper what is the song starting around 12:00?
Every decade Halloween makes a come back with a popular new installment only to piss it away with a bad or unpopular sequel.
I actually preferred the trauma- induced portrayal of Laurie in H20 than the Rambo Home Alone action hermit of Halloween 2018. It was a good movie until MM showed up.
Back in April I finally marathoned the Thorne Trilogy and H20/Ressurection to finally catch up on the series (still have to watch the Zombie movies and finish the new trilogy). To me, I honestly like H20's more stripped-down approach. It's way too short and Michael's masks are the worst they've ever been in the series but I did enjoy the focus on Laurie's trauma as well as the final battle between her and Michael. As for Resurrection, aside from the first 20 minutes (which are just painful), it's a perfect example of a god-awful movie I enjoy watching. It's bad and has nothing to do with the rest of the franchise (strangely even less than Season of the Witch and that's non-canon) but it's just fun to see all these fools waste their time being on a reality TV show just for Michael to kill them. It's practically in a way a worse version of Freddy's Revenge.
If I had to rank them so far its OG > 3 > H20 > 4 > 2 >>>>>>>>>> 6 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Resurection >>>>>>>>>>>>>> 5 (I just find 5 painfully boring).
Great video once again. I apologize for not commenting on recent videos; just life got in the way. But very much looking foward to more Halloween videos (both the franchise and the holiday)
While I'm personally not big on H3, I respect your opinion and am at least glad and happy you'd rank H20 marginally above 6 and 5 so low. 6 was the one that had the most troubled development, but 5 feels the most clunky and unsure of what it wants to be.
@@saltystick_99 You can feel that H5 was rushed, but it at least tried and H6 PC did a good job at filling the plot holes and new things (Thorn rune, man in black) that h5 just threw in. I honestly like the PC, you can see that Daniel Farrands cared for the movie and franchise. Sadly the Weinsteins (who were responsible for the terrible gory TC) and Chapelle (only there to get the deal with Miramax) didn't do it with passion and that's why the movie has some problems, but it's overall still a decent sequel (and my favorite in the franchise) and would surely be more liked by some fans, if we got H7 and H8, because H6 pC wasn't supposed to be the end, it was supposed to just be the introduction to the Curse-triology and H8 would have concluded it with a happy ending (nice for Michael after all the suffering he had to go through with the Curse).
Matt you trippin. Halloween 2 was absolutely great
I wonder if Scream will ever get a retrospective video.
It definitely will! I'm waiting until the next movie comes out and probably wraps up this new trilogy.
***************************
EVERYONE PLEASE READ:
Before Jamie Lee Curtis signed her contract to star in H20, she was told...."you know that you Kill Michael in this film, you behead him...
....but how would you feel if we do a sequel and find out that it wasn't Michael Myers that died, it was someone else?"
She said, if I believe it's Michael that I killed, then I'm OK with that. Moustapha Akkad & Co. already knew, before they shot one frame of film for H20, that the guy Laurie beheaded wasn't Michael Myers. If you are in doubt, then watch the H20 commentary track on the bluray.
How can you say "unlike the Laurie in David Gordon greens reboot this Laurie is shattered and still broken "? This Laurie has her life together way more than the one in 2018 . She has full custody of her son and has a very nice job and even a boyfriend. If anything 2018 Laurie is way more shattered and broken .
Great TNA wrestling reference
I'd rank Pt 8 above Pt 2 and 3 but below all the other original movies & RZ H1 but above all the others. Pt. 8 while funny...was slick and stylish and MM was always hiding in the background he want out all in our faces like in H4 - H6 and like in most of the newer movies! The theme song was there too. MM acutely resembled the original Shape(minus the Busta Rhymes shiggity), but the film also offered something different. It felt like H2O, but just not as well executed. 🎃
I'd like to see a revamp of Pt. 4 with Laurie and her daughter in Pt. 4 and then a revamp of Pt 7 with her son and daughter together.
That would be Dope
@@billymincey3246 Thanks. I never understood why they just didn't recast Laurie if they couldn't get Jamie to do it. They literally tanked the whole franchise by not recasting her. It wasn't as if by H4 she was the Scream queen she is now!
Happy Halloween to you and answer the door for the trick or treaters! 🍿 🍭 🎃
H20 is one of my favourite horror movies, and Jamie Lee Curtis is terrific! Resurrection: IDK, because I didn't make it very far into the movie - I lost interest after Laurie Strode's death.
I saw Resurrection in the theater. It is the only time I have ever seen an audience, en masse, have no reaction to a horror movie. None. We were all incredulous, appalled, or both. Many of us gathered after it was over just to puzzle over the f*ckery. We were pretty evenly split as to why we were there: half for Michael, half for Laurie. And somehow this movie had ruined them both.
I never enough noticed the CGI mask until videos like this decided to point it out and freeze frame the footage. It is the definition of "blink-and-miss-it" and not as glaring an issue as everyone makes out.
I actually enjoyed and still enjoy this movie when I binge watch all the Halloween movies during October for the Halloween holiday fun or when I’m in a mood to binge watch Michael Myers movies period. Resurrection was the one that sucked but Tyra Banks appearing in the movie was my favorite part lol
Peak 💙
I was always afraid of this stuff..
I will always laugh at the boxing match between Michael Myers and Busta Rhymes
These are actually my favorite two
I wish it was always October on this channel
Also, I think someone's reaction to a movie depends a lot on the environment in which they see the movie. I saw H2O in a sold put theater, consisting of a lot of screaming girls. I suppose seeing it on TV probably wouldn't provide the same experience.
“My audience”
Sorry but we’re here for Michael.
If resurrection were a son, it would be the one you desperately want to forget exists but committed a mass shooting at school.
H20 was brilliantly done it would of been best to bring John back instead of forgetting it,and have a sequel and bring him and Michelle Williams back and also use John should never be forgotten about Son and daughter and also her daughter in 40 years
These movies can't hold a candle to the Thorn trilogy and season of the witch.
True. Thorn-trilogy and H3 were much better. And Michael was not even scary in H20 or Resurrection
Luckily we all can RETCON Halloween Resurrection all because: H20 was able to retcon 4-6, and Halloween 2018 retconned 2-H20, and Halloween 3 retconned it ALL. So to me H20 IS the ending. It’s where the story naturally does end.
But I’ll say I do really love Halloween 2018. So I do watch 1 2 H20 and H18. Halloween Kills I can’t stand. The town made NO sense without Halloween 2 taking place. Also Halloween Ends just wasn’t it.
I love Durand's performance, as well as the Winston mask.
@MattDraper could you please make a video about Jason X: Jason X & Freddy vs. Jason Retrospective - The Modern Rebirth & Failure of Jason Voorhees
I'm not sure what they were thinking, signing Rob Zombie on to make the reboot, and subsequent sequel. I realize they were going for something different, but turning Laurie from smart, pretty and likeable to a grungy, whiny, scuzzy crybaby and acted by a horrific actress. The sequel was way overly brutal, unnecessarily so.
How can you say Halloween Resurrection is the worst entry when Halloween 2 (2009) exists?
If only there was sense to let it die after H20
Laurie won and killed her brother. END.
But no.
I still really like H20 to this day. Just watched resurrection. It wasn't as terrible as last time i watched it in 2020. If busta rhymes and that annoying Tyra banks weren't in there it would have been alot better.
In my opinion H20 is a solid good movie. Michaels mask in H20 is my favorite one.
Resurrection was ok when i was a kid, but upon rewatch, yeahhhhhhh not so much lmao.
Next time the Zombie duology.
Michael Myers 'is my favorite of the entire bunch and Halloween 's my favorite time of the year. Given my incredible affinity for both Halloween and comics, I thought why not combine both. Hence this vid wherein I talk about some Halloween-esque, nightmare inducing supervillains: czcams.com/video/_fqDgvk60Ww/video.html
7:39 You'd think he was being electrocuted not stabbed.
Jamie Lee Curtis is a hack of an artist, who only inherited her role as a “scream queen” due to her nepotism status. She cared little about the franchise and its fans, and more so about her paycheck. Her praise, and Oscar win (for EEAAO) will forever baffle me
$17 million budget LMAO HOWWW. The mask is what killed it for me personally
They could of easily made resurrection good and just set it 5 years after H20 laurie serving a prison sentence for killing the wrong guy so that'll explain lauries absence as jamie lee curtis won't reprise her role or if she agrees 5 minutes of screen time of her son visiting her and have michael going after her son it could of been pretty decent
He says worst Halloween as if Halloween Ends doesn't exist
This was the first Halloween movie I ever saw as a kid when it randomly was shown in KDOC one day. From there Halloween was always my favorite franchise
Thank you for watching these so I didn't have to.
Eyy
H2O was OK. I was always a fan of the original 6 films. Compared to the Rob Zombie movies, Resurrection feels like Shakespeare in the Park.
I honest to god had no idea Luke Kirby & Sean Patrick Thomas were in this. Both are so much better actors than this movie deserved with Thomas now starring in Gen V on AMZ Prime. Don’t even get me started on the flawless Katee Sackhoff…brilliantly cast in BSG & even the “better than the original” sequel to White Noise 2 with the great Nathan Fillion.
I enjoyed Water but hated Resurrection
H2O perfectly fitted the teen horror/thriller genre mold, which I back then (being in my late teens early 20s) thought was okay. It rovolved around my utmost favorite slasher, it had JLC/Laurie now being a mom having to protect her son and friggin' LL Cool J haha. To this day this flick 's still a guilty pleasure o' mine. Halloween 's my favorite time of the year. Given my incredible affinity for both Halloween and comics, I thought why not combine both. Hence this vid wherein I talk about some Halloween-esque, nightmare inducing supervillains: czcams.com/video/_fqDgvk60Ww/video.html
