Josh Hartnett and Michael Myers
The Big Picture Josh Hartnett has been enamoring movie theater audiences for almost three decades. Widely known as an early 2000s Hollywood heartthrob, Hartnett started his climb to success thanks to one of horror’s most iconic figures, Michael Myers. Making his acting debut in the seventh installment of one of horror’s most iconic franchises, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, Hartnett impressed moviegoers with his confidence and ability to command the screen.
The Halloween franchise is not known for its complex and layered characters, but H20 breaks that trend with John, who is different from your usual horror movie fodder. As the son of Laurie Strode, John is burdened by the trauma of his mother’s past, as well as her current struggles with alcoholism. Having recently turned 17, John is naturally looking for more freedom, wanting to untether himself from his mother’s overprotectiveness.
Related Trauma, Family and The Final Girl: The Shared Blood in 'Halloween' and 'Halloween H20' The new 'Halloween' sequel isn't the first time the horror franchise has tackled PTSD. Their fractured relationship finally comes to light in the movie's second act when they have a massive argument in public after John snuck out of school. Laurie expresses extreme disappointment towards John, his lack of awareness regarding Halloween, and what comes with that when you’re a Strode. John lashes back at his mother, tired of the repetitive Michael Myers story, and finally lets Laurie know his pent-up feelings.
