MCT:August 7, 2008A sequel to a movie that really didn't need one, this movie is kind of hit and miss. I liked that a lot of the original cast from the first one came back. I didn't like that there was more emphasis on blood and gore than suspense. But at least Michael was still semi-scary and not getting his ass beat by Busta Rhymes yet.

I enjoy this one a bit more then the first (surprisingly enough), because the hospital setting makes for more suspenseful and intense scenes.

Not as good as the orinal, but then again - you rarely find a sequel that hits the notch that the original did, apart from maybe Scream 2.

Its a good sequel. It was a great idea to make a continuation to the original. The first was much better and this has an obvious feel of a sequel but its still worth seeing.

MCT:June 29, 2008Halloween II not only takes place the very same night as the original movie, but it picks up at the very same SECOND the original ended. Masked killer Michael Myers continues to stalk Laurie Strode after she survives his initial attack on her. He follows her to the hospital, and proceeds to slice his way through the staff to get to her. Donald Pleasence also returns as Michael's nemesis, Dr. Sam Loomis. The film has the same vibe going for it as the original, not surprising since it was written by John Carpenter, and photographed by Dean Cundy. Rick Rosenthal takes over as director, and he follows Carpenters style of building up the tension before unleashing the scares. It fails to match the original, but then how could it? It personfiied the "running victim vs walking killer", because the actor/stuntman playing Michael Myers (Dick Warlock) had a slow, almost robotic way of portraying Michael. So it developed ways of making sure that Laurie couldn't move TOO fast so as to make escape easy. A bit manipulative, but still a very fine Halloween film.

MCT:June 25, 2008Very worth follow-up. The Shape is much more sadistic in this. This one also kept up with the "more gore" factor that was becoming more known in horror at the time. This is one of the best sequels.
-
MCT:June 14, 2008I enjoyed Halloween so much and couldn't wait for the sequel. I enjoyed this one, it left off right were the original ended. It also cleared up some of the mysteries of the original. The original cast participated in this sequel and still lots of fun...

the continuation is more powerful. 2 thumbs up!

Definitely inferior to the masterpiece that was 'Halloween', but still an entertaining sequel nonetheless.

This one wasn't that bad. I did like the first one better but this one isn't as old as the first one. Pretty messed up how the fake Michael Myers got burned up, he was like 17 then his friends asked the cop about him. I was like OMG. I love these old horror movies. They are really awesome. Now I have to watch the third one.

it coming back to the sequel in 3 years.
since dr. loomis(donald pleasence)shot michael myer but michael myer is disappear and then dr. loomis cant belive it in "halloween". so this sequel is continues going on with michael myer. but however michael myer is stalk laurie(jamie lee curtis)in hospital. great footage of "halloween" ending scene to the beginning of the movie before open credit the sequel and great theme and opening credit with the jack-o-lanton turn to the skull. -
MCT:May 11, 2008Pale imitation of the Carpenter classic, despite the rep as a great sequel. It's only "ok", with slow substituted for suspense and gore standing in for genuine scares.
-
MCT:May 2, 2008You could watch this right after the first one and not feel like you're watching two separate films. Too bad the third doesn't fit.

An immediate continuation from the first one. A very worthy sequel this time it manages to evoke that claustrophobic setting that we see in some horror films. It continues the same pacing and psychological terror from its predessesor.

"A very suspenful and entertaining film a very good sequel, can't surpass the first one but it's still pretty good. 78/100"

It was good, all I was really doing was counting the body count. I'm glad the paramedic asshole got it in the end.

I found this movie to be a major disappointment. Not only did John Carpenter direct it (I mean he wrote the fuckin script), but this new guy takes away the whole feeling of hopelessness that John Carpenter seemed to display. Also John gave the feeling of being very confined (even though they could go anywhere), and I just didnt feel all that scared at all in this movie. Then to top it off, Michael Myers just is not scary at all, I dont know what it is, but its like hes been neutered or something, all the spunk was taken out of him. There is just no zazz. A disappointment.

It had been a while since I had seen this film and rated it off of what I felt at the time, yet I recentely watched it again and realized I had not given it enough credit. The film is definitely not as well done as the first in terms of how everythign was introduced, which is what I thought made the first film. Donald Pleasance was in this film more than the first and the scences were a bit more suspensful which I thought gave the film more of an appeal. Curtis was brilliant, as usual, and now that I have watched it again, I don't know if I honestly thought her role in this film or it's predecessor was better. As I said prior to this, it was the fact of how strong she was introudced in the first film and the role she portrayed, yet I think her acting in this film was a bit greater than the first. The scene where Loomis blows up the hospital room was classic, and the fact that Myers walked out of it reeled it further. Nancy Stephens, always a pleasure to watch in the series. If you have watched Halloween, you must see this film, a brilliant way of continuing the plot and than introudcing the twist of Michael being Laurie's brother. Wise and very interesting choice, John.

For some very odd reason, this film could've turned out to be way better than the first. The big flaw, and one that is proof of Carpenter's genius, is composition and the camera. The composition here was very weak at times. IT never allows us to be intimately spooked and we do see it as more disturbing and much more creepy at times, but it still lacks the cruel evil that Carpenter gave Myers and without it, this film had its flaw, the camera usage in the first, where we see heavy pov, utilized very well, made us fell scared and there was a fear too.

A perfect movie to watch directly after the original as if it's one long horror movie, it works great. Halloween II still remains as one of my favorites, it's highly entertaining, has good gore, and TONS of suspense!

definatley not as good as the first film but it is still quite good. It gets more gory and suspensful than the first film. Michael Myers hasn't really changed so anyone who likes him or the first film shouldn't really be dissapointed. The only bad thing about the film is that the actor who played Michael Myers in the first film isn't playing him this time but still quite a good film.

A Pretty likeable sequel...Takes place exactly where the last one left off, would have been better had John Carpenter directed it
