ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Has it really been twenty years since John Carpenter's low-budget chiller, Halloween, hit the nation's screens and paved the way for a decade's worth of bloody slasher movies?

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

He can take a licking and keep on slicing. In the latest Halloween movie, he absorbs a blow from an ax, several knife slashes, a rock pounded on the skull, a fall down a steep hillside and being crushed against a tree by a truck. ...read the complete Halloween H20: 20 Years Later movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice
