Halloween II
Product Description
Picks up where Halloween left off: Michael finds his sister Laurie in the hospital where she has been taken after he attacked her.Amazon.com
“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
Halloween II starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence picks up right where the original left off. This seuqel is a complete letdown, the actors look bored and robotic and the twist ending just about killed it for me. Stick to the original and leave this one to rot!

Halloween II
I don’t see how people love or even like this sequel. The only part of the movie I actually liked was the beginning. It was great how it actually started right where the first one left off but that was it. After that it just went to hell. The ending of this movie was completely ridiculous and I will never watch this movie again. If you want to see a good horror sequel watch Friday the 13th part 2.

Of course nothing can compare to the original, but they could have at least made an effort with this one. Slow and meandering with yawn-inducing kills, even part 3 is better than this!
This really is a real paint by numbers job that just doesn’t make sense. Not that the first one didn’t have plot holes, but this thing makes it look like The Shape himself wrote the script and knew where everyone was going to be ahead of time. That or he’s a real good guesser, “Oh, Laurie must be at the hospital, even though I was busy killing some random girl down the street when the ambulance took her away…”
I know we suspend our belief with horror movies, but why didn’t he just go to Laurie’s hospital room and kill her? Why did he have to waste his time hiding in the shadows waiting for hospital staff to kill? Just kill them on the way to her room, come on!

I think the movie was very boring and I don’t like it because it’s stupid and noone can make any sense out of it.

Halloween II
I haven’t seen this since I was a teenager in 1981 but decided to take another look when it became available in widescreen DVD. I was shocked at how bad it was. I believe I enjoyed it somewhat the first time (although I didn’t think it came close to the original) but upon watching it today I couldn’t believe how incompetent a lot of the directing is, how ridiculous the plot is, and at how unscary it is!
