What to Know

Critics Consensus

Zombie shows flashes of vision in the follow-up to his Halloween reboot, but they're smothered by mountains of gore and hackneyed, brutal violence.

Extends this interest in psychology to Laurie Strode (played this time by Scout Taylor-Compton), plumbing the emotional and psychological connection between her and Michael. Go to Full Review

Zombie remains committed to showing how violence lingers with, and perverts, all who are touched by it Go to Full Review

1/5
At one point in the film, a character is accused of "profiteering off the miseries of others" and that is exactly what Zombie will do to you if you see this movie. Go to Full Review

2/5
Gets weirder and more brutal than its predecessor, though is still bogged down by Rob Zombie's joyless cinematic sensibilities. Go to Full Review

3/5
An ambitious, if flawed, sequel whose biggest accomplishment is having the most authentic portrayal of Final Girl PTSD ever seen in a horror film. (Director's Cut) Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Halloween 2 has its problems, but the all-star cast is doing great work, and the film has a surprisingly nuanced consideration of Final Girl PTSD. Go to Full Review

The Zombie Family did great with these See more Amor A @Cinemalover_09 1d Halloween 5,6, Ressurreição ou ou Ends são os piores da franquia??? Não! Esse aqui conseguiu tomar esse posto. See more Oliver C. @ocook005 Nov 27 Rob Zombie’s Halloween II (2009) earns a solid four stars for its brutal atmosphere and boldly unhinged psychological approach that transforms a familiar slasher sequel into something raw, strange, and unexpectedly haunting. See more GotRizz237 Nov 2 Rob Zombie's Halloween II was okay. I liked it, but not that much. I'd say it's worth a watch. Yeah, I'd give this one a C. See more Carter H. @quality_finds Oct 30 Not really entertaining, the mask is a 2/10 for Michael Myers, weird idea of this mom ghost and the white horse nonsense, was honestly worse than real Michael having a curse in Halloween 6. Kill scenes were the only good thing in the movie thats why its a 1.5 not a 1 star, other than that the movies very awful, and Dr Loomis being a book seller celebrity is just super odd, not a good movie.
