Plot |
This is the seventh movie in this horror series and a 20th anniversary follow-up to John Carpenter 's Halloween (1978), arguably the most influential horror film of the '70s, a film that set the standard of horror for the next two decades and catapulted the career of Jamie Lee Curtis . Newspaper clippings review the murders 20 years earlier by Michael Myers, including one stating his sister Laurie Strode (Curtis) died in a car accident. Actually, she faked her death to hide from Michael, changed her name, and became headmistress at a Southern California boarding school attended by her son, teen John ( Josh Hartnett ). On Halloween, with most of the school staff and students away on a Yosemite camping trip, John plans a "romantic" evening with several of his classmates — his girlfriend Molly ( Michelle Williams ), Charlie ( Adam Hann-Byrd ), and Sarah ( Jodi Lyn O'Keefe ). Laurie, meanwhile, has her own date with school-counselor Will ( Adam Arkin ); on their date, she reveals some of the secrets of her past life to Will. Meanwhile, masked Michael ( Chris Durand ) evades security guard Ronny ( LL Cool J ) — and the nightmares begin anew. Curtis' mother, Janet Leigh , appears in a cameo role as the school secretary. The music score by John Ottman features orchestral variations on the 1978 score composed by Carpenter. — Bhob Stewart |
