Movie Reviews of Halloween II
Movie Review: Better than the origional!.
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this sequel and was very impressed by it as it managed to top the origional - a rareity for sequels! Although not made until 1981 (three years after the first Halloween) the movie carries on directly from the ending of the first one, the opening scene of this movie being the last 4 or 5 minutes of the first.
Micheal Myers is still after Lorrie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), this time going on a killing spree in the hospital where she has been sent because of her injuries from her encounters with Michael earlier that night.
I liked this movie even more than the first, it is scarier and gorier and has a higher body count as Michael slices and dices his way through the hospital staff (strangely there were no other patients in the hospital) to get to Lorrie.
Unlike the deaths in the first movie, some of the kills in Halloween 2 are quite gory. I liked that some of the deaths are quite creative, as opposed to every character being stabbed. Also, a clever idea was that Lorrie has a bad reaction to the medication she is given which causes her to muscles to episodically being weak/paralysed which adds a lot to the suspence during chase scenes as we root for her to escape.
I would deffinatly recomend this movie to fans of the first in the series or of the horror/slasher genre in general.
Summary of Halloween II
A killer follows his injured target to the hospital on oct. 31 in haddonfield iii. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 12/28/2004 Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis Jeffrey Kramer Run time: 93 minutes Rating: R Director: Rick Rosenthal"You can't kill the boogeyman," explains John Carpenter in Halloween, and to prove it he brings Michael Myers back in this handsome but grisly sequel. Jamie Lee Curtis returns as Laurie Strode but spends most of her time cowering in a hospital gown, and Donald Pleasence runs around like a maniac as the panicky doctor desperate to hunt down Myers before he kills again. Carpenter writes and produces with partner Debra Hill, and together they replace the mystery and uncertainty of the original with an exponentially bigger body count and some strange tales about the Druids and pagan ceremonies, and the now-familiar family ties between Michael and Laurie. First-time director Rick Rosenthal (Bad Boys) paces the film at a brisk jog and directs it with a clean, crisp style, taking the murders out of the dark to display them in all their nasty detail. --Sean Axmaker
