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.

3/5

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

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.

2/5

Gets weirder and more brutal than its predecessor, though is still bogged down by Rob Zombie's joyless cinematic sensibilities.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.
