Who Knew Michael Myers Could Drive and Use Mapquest?!
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I am always amazed at studios that keep these horror franchises alive. Why not just do a tv show? That way you can have as many Halloween, Friday the 13th, Saw, Nightmare on Elm Street etc. as you want. If they were any different then I could see the reasoning for sequels but they are exactly the same as the originals. I enjoy horror sequels because I like making fun of horror movies. Don't get me wrong - I LOVE horror films, it is my favorite genre. But making fun of the bad ones is part of that love.
H2O is one of those sequels that are done just to make a buck. The only ties to the original are a couple of characters and their history. Updated to suit the new generation of horror fans - not so much horror as "shock" - this one has slick production values, great looking cast with name recognition. I am not saying that in older horror films the actors were not good looking, but they were more real, like the kids next door. Now they look like actors playing "regular" kids.
So Michael is back killing some people and stealing a car. He is after sis Laurie - played by the original Scream Queen Jamie Lee Curtis - who now runs a snooty private school. There she lives under an assumed name with her son. Of course it is the weekend when everyone is away from the school except Laurie, her kid and a group of his friends - how convenient! Josh Harnett, Michelle Williams, LL Cool J and Adam Arkin have roles, and even Janet Leigh has a small part!
Skip it if you want true horror. For that go rent the first one, heck even the second one but stop there. The rest are just filler. If you are a horror fan that just HAS to watch it, then you must be like me and expects it to be cheesy - which it is.
