Ranking Every Halloween Film From Worst To Best
6. Halloween H20
Jamie Lee-Curtis made her triumphant return in this Kevin Williamson penned film that saw a remarkable shift in quality from previous instalments, but despite that strong pedigree Halloween H20 still falls a little short of the mark.
That's not to say this is a bad film by any stretch, it comfortably sits well-above the previously mentioned films but a few too many of its elements feel weirdly inappropriate. Most notably this film's depiction of Michael Myers, which paints him out to be a mostly feeble man with none of the imposing menace of previous instalments. Also, they show his eyes a lot throughout the film and that simply does NOT work.
On the positive side of things though, it's incredibly well-paced and Jamie Lee-Curtis gives one of her career-best performances, really imbuing Laurie with a newfound sense of strength, whilst portraying her trauma in a realistic and dignified manner.
In spite of its flaws, H20 is still a whole lot of fun - something that Halloween 5 and 6 could never claim to be - and proved to horror fans that Halloween could still stand alongside the new blood and be a raucous good time too.
