Halloween VII H20: 20 years later

Published: Oct. 15, 2021, 6:23 p.m.

Here we are, 20 years later. Jamie Lee Curtis comes back to reprise her role as Laurie, this time she wants to end the story right..Or will written clauses prevent her from having the options end it her way? Nothing is more of a slap in the face than conjuring up an end game story only to be told "Michael is not allowed to die". Luckily, She was able to come up with an agreement to have something sufficient for an original character.  With being one of the first, if not THE first to bring back a series following the original story 20 years later, The atmosphere and the way Laurie approaches life are very different and very real. This broken woman struggles with PTSD, leading to substance and alcohol abuse, and inadequate personal relationships. Kevin Williamson signs on as a head writer. After his success with Scream(1996) He puts the same spices into this franchise, The comedy isn't quite there, I would assume Jamie Lee Curtis had a lot to do with this. She's always looked at this series in a deeper mindset.  This film was very promising with up-and-coming teen stars, Scream writer, and the Main star returning. Character development felt more in-depth with Ronny the security guard than that of Jamie's son. So many characters in here felt like paid extras who go the opportunity to speak. It was nice to see Jamie kick some major ass in this film, The first two films were her surviving, this film she's the one hunting.                                                                                                                                      Key points Why was Jamie on alert only half the time?  Why is Ronnie the security guard more memorable than Lauries son? Was the EMT the real Michael?  Why were the college kids so unaware?  Will Ronnie sell his romance novel? Did the ending suffice?
