Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Gresh854 I can't lie, Halloween II vastly exceeded my expectations. It's a rare horror sequel that actually respectively works. Yah, occasionally it gets cheesy and predictable, but coming off of John Carpenter's classic, I thought it did quite well. Also, the "Hot Tub" and the "Blind Myers" sequences were exhilaratingly as hell. (My Shocking Verdict: A-)

jtindahouse I'm not the biggest fan of the original 1978 'Halloween'. I respect it for what it is, but I do prefer a little more violence and gore in my horror. There's no reason you can't have both extreme suspense and then violence and gore to top it off. That is probably the reason I enjoyed the sequel a little more than the original (sinful, I know). For me though, it just had everything the original had, plus more. The great music is still around this time. It really is brilliant. It's so haunting and eerie and memorable. It just screams "Danger!". I also love how director Rick Rosenthal creates scenarios where there is a countdown of sorts (in creative ways like an elevator coming down floors) and the killer is getting closer and closer. This is when the film is at its most intense.There's the usual dodgy acting and some of the dialogue is written in a pretty cringe-worthy way. Other than that though this is a horror master-class that has aged extremely well. The character of Sam Loomis remains one of my favourite horror heroes to this day. If you're a fan of 'Michael Myers', but find the original a little slow for your liking, try this one out for size. It may be more to your liking. Hell, even if you love the original you should still be able to find enjoyment in this one.

gabegiddens Halloween II is honestly a fantastic film. Jamie Curtis and Donald Pleasence are once again fantastic. Michael Myers is still the most menacing slasher villain, and the music is amazing. This movie did suffer from unnecessarily gory kills unlike the first one. In this film there were also more inconsistencies. But in the end, this is a great film.

Eric Stevenson I guess the original "Halloween" movie would be a tough act to follow, but this was a pretty good little flick. It continues right where the previous film left off as we continue to see Michael Myers' body count rise. There's an important revelation in this. Laurie is revealed to be another one of Michael's sisters who was adopted in her youth which is why Michael is after her. Dr. Loomis is once again featured. When you have a villain who doesn't talk, you really do have to give characterization to the good guys and that's what these movies do.It's even treated more realistically as they actually get help from the police. Of course, they're still pretty useless. Dr. Loomis talks about how Michael is unstoppable hinting at his supernatural powers which will be expanded upon later. Actually, that didn't work out too well. Michael is just as intimidating as he was in the first movie. Second only to Jason Voorhees, he has the most kills of any slasher movie villain. Call me morbid, but some of these kills are pretty creative. ***
