But the execution isn’t very good, and it becomes very annoying very quickly. You can say that it’s Miner’s way of showing how on-edge everyone is. Hence, you have scene-after-scene of fake jump scares that deflate all the tension before the real killings begin.
CULT ANIMOSITY SHOWS NO SIGN LETTING MOVIE
“H20” plays out more like a “Scream” movie than a “Halloween” movie because Miner seems way more interested in parodying the franchise than telling a sincere story about Laurie and John. Since most of the students have left to attend a school trip to Yosemite, Laurie, Will, security guard Ronny (LL Cool J), John, Molly (Michelle Williams), Charlie (Adam Hann-Byrd), and Sarah (Jodi Lyn O’Keefe) are the only ones in Michael’s violent path. Loomis’s (Donald Pleasence) office and learns about all this, and heads over to Hillcrest to finish the deed. And in order to avoid getting killed by him, she has faked her death and is living under the name “Keri Tate.” She is the headmistress of a private boarding school called Hillcrest Academy/ She has a son, John (Josh Hartnett), and she’s in a relationship with the school’s guidance counselor, Will (Adam Arkin). If it’s not evident from the title, yes, the film takes place 20 years after the events of “Halloween II.”, i.e., the movie that established that Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Michael Myers (Chris Durand) are siblings. With all that said, let’s begin the ranking of the “Halloween” films.ġ3. So, maybe that film exists in the latest continuity as a movie. Then again, elements from “Halloween 3” are there in Green’s films.

Rob Zombie’s “Halloween” and “Halloween II” exist in their own timeline because they are a reboot of the franchise. But David Gordon Green’s “Halloween” (the 2018 one), “ Halloween Kills,” and “Halloween Ends” are sequels to “Halloween” (the 1978 one). “Halloween H20” and “Halloween: Resurrection” are sequels to “Halloween II” (yes, the 1981 one). What about “Halloween 3”? It exists in a separate timeline where “Halloween” (yes, the 1978 one) exists as a literal movie. “Halloween” (the 1978 one), “Halloween II” (the 1981 one), “Halloween 4”, “Halloween 5”, and “Halloween 6” are in the same timeline. I watched them in the order in which they were released. If you thought that the continuity of the “X-Men” franchise was a mess, you are clearly not familiar with the “Halloween” franchise’s timeline.
