	Media	Author	Review
		Bob Graham SFGATE	"The scary slasher-movie genre has been ratcheted up several notches with the release today of 'Halloween: H20' (...) Curtis, with her plain, unglamorous appearance, rises to the occasion and delivers as compelling a performance"
		Lawrence Van Gelder The New York Times	"It's more marketing trick than moviegoer treat (...) After a pre-title sequence reintroduces Michael (...) 'Halloween H20'' declines into the routine."
		Kim Newman Empire	"Taken as a sequel to 'Halloween', this is just above average; taken as a sequel to 'Halloween Two', which is where most of its backstory comes from, it looks terrific (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Dennis Harvey Variety	"While plot mechanics aren’t wildly imaginative, pic nonetheless delivers requisite jolts in an above-average package, while providing Jamie Lee Curtis sufficient character meat to justify revisiting her career-making."
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"I imagined Miss Leigh telling her friends, 'They wanted me to do a cameo in the remake of 'Psycho', but I said, hell, I'd do 'Halloween: H20' before I'd lower myself to that (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
