It actually gets a little comedic after a while. Thankfully, just when you begin to get annoyed by his seemingly immortal presence, the film ends. While the cast isn't as good as Scream 's top-notch cast, they certainly do the job well. Throughout the film, the theme is played ominously in the background, or directly up front which makes you feel that the music represents Myers and how close he is to the victims. For one, Ottman uses a full orchestra, while Carpenter used pianos and synthesizers.
Many set pieces seem to be put there just to create atmosphere.
But overall, it meshes well together. H20 is rated R for violence, language, and some horror movie gore. The film strays away from showing every single gory detail that most slasher films rely on, but tends to be more about ominous figures lurking in the background. One of the scariest images has Mike Myers standing in the background of a shot, with the frightened woman looking around. Myers hasn't been a very scary character since his debut, but here he evokes the same sort of chills and scares that he did in 1978.
