Halloween H20: 20 Years Later

Movie • 1998 • Horror  

Report
Two decades after surviving a massacre on October 31, 1978, former baby sitter Laurie Strode finds herself hunted by persistent knife-wielder Michael Myers. Laurie now lives in Northern California under an assumed name, where she works as the headmistress of a private school. But it's not far enough to escape Myers, who soon discovers her whereabouts. As Halloween descends upon Laurie's peaceful community, a feeling of dread weighs upon her -- with good reason.
This movie contains 21 potentially triggering events.

The Jamie Lee Curtis character is on a few prescriptions, and the teens talk about stealing them, but it doesn't happen that I recall.

I don't think so? Someone is trapped in a tight space and later hung up, though it is unlear whether after or before death. Other than that, I don't remember any restraints.

Not directly. The protagonist acts with very little regard to her own life at points though, especially towards the end, crashing a car on purpose to kill someone while she's still inside it.
