ne of two B-level horror sequels to hit theaters in August, "H2," follows up Rob Zombie's critically savaged "Halloween" reboot which, like the first "Halloween II" (confused yet?) picks up directly after its predecessor. Zombie's no slave to tradition, though -- "H2" diverges a bit from the well-trod, Michael Myers-centric path of the franchise, showing us events through the eyes of Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton) and even -- horrors! -- doing away with Myers' iconic mask for much of the film. Will any of this make "H2" something you want to watch more than once? Probably not, but as a way of bidding farewell to summer with one last bit of no-redeeming-value stupidity, it seems like the perfect way to end the season.
