Halloween II (1981)

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 80’s (1473 movies items)

" Michael Myers, pays Laurie a visit, while she is recouping from the injuries she sustain a year prior. Maybe, he is there to give her a present, or a hug? Dr. Samuel Loomis, doesn’t think so. Can he get there before Mickey does? While the movie didn’t make as many scares, in theatres as the first one, and critics felt it was needlessly violent, fans felt that Halloween II, was the Halloween treat, that they were looking for. Halloween Ii, also featured a early performance from Dana Carve"

A mediocre Halloween

“John Carpenter's 1978 'Halloween' is wholly deserving of its status as a horror classic. To this day it's still one of the freakiest films personally seen and introduced the world to one of horror's most iconic villainous characters Michael Myers.

Which is why it is such a shame that not only are all of the sequels nowhere near as good but that the decline in quality is so drastic. Ok, the original 'Halloween' is very difficult to follow on from, but most of the sequels could at least looked like effort was made into them. 'Halloween II' is not the worst of them, or one of the worst of them. It is not really a good film, not by a long shot, but oddly enough it still manages to be one of the better 'Halloween' sequels and one of the few semi-watchable ones despite its glaring faul” read more

"4.11. Netflix Liki kymmenkertaisella budjetilla tehty jatko-osa (jännästi muuten näistä ainoa, jota en ollut aiemmin nähnyt) jatkaa tunnetusti suoraan alkuperäisen lopusta. Alussa on vielä ihan käypää kameratyötä, Dean Cundeyhän jatkoi kameran takana, mutta kaikki palaset ovat aivan levällään, uusia hahmoja tulee ja menee, ja tututkin ovat nyt tyhjiä kuoria. Verisenä pidetty kakkososa ei joko kiinnostanut sen vertaa, että olisin mitään merkittävää gorea kohdannut tai Net"

Tier Ranking: The Worst Films of 1980 - 1981 (35 movies items)

"For critics felt that, Halloween II picked up where its predecessor left off - and quickly wanders into a dead end that the franchise would spend decades struggling to find its way out of. My thoughts: It’s one of my favourite entry in the series, and one that I enjoy watching every now and then, "

An average movie

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but I thought I might as well check it out. Well, even if the opinions are mixed towards this sequel, to be honest, I thought it was not bad at all. One of the main complaint when it was released is that it was much more gory than its predecessor following the wave of slasher films released at the time but, since I have seen countless of such movies before, it didn’t bother me. First of all, I didn’t know that John Carpenter was involved with this sequel as a writer and producer and I’m pretty sure it was thanks to him that the damned thing didn’t become another lame horror sequel like so many others out there (However, to be honest, Carpenter apparently didn’t care much for this movie after all). Anyway, as far as I was conce” read more

Terror Blurbs! Pt. 1 (An Ever-Expanding List) (100 movies items)

"Plot: A continuation of Michael Myers murderous rampage from the previous film. A rudimentary and unnecessary sequel to an absolute classic. Barring a few visually striking scenes, this movie adds nothing to the narrative. Worthless canon fodder characters, a barely-there story, and an overdependency on more extreme skills to justify a nothing plot. The lack of passion for this product is almost palpable. "
