Before the 2018 Halloween revitalised the franchise, Halloween: H20 did an admirable job of making Michael Myers relevant again. Set 20 years after the events of the first movie, Laurie Strode is living under an assumed name and working as the headmistress of a private school as she tries to build a safe life for her teenage son ('90s favourite Josh Hartnett).
This movie acts as a direct sequel to Halloween II, and it wows in large part because it allows Laurie to find some closure. But it also deserves credit for being a fun slasher film that never gets too bogged down in the mythology surrounding Michael.
