TheRealMyers 7 I have a Halloween 2 Shirt on, a Halloween 2 Michael Myers mask nearby in my office. A poster in me and my wife's Bedroom. But I have to say, as movies go. Halloween 2 can feel a little hollow at times. I love the aesthetic and authentic feeling this one has. It feels directly tied to the 1978 Classic Halloween. But that's because it...well is. Until it veers off into its own territory with Laurie Strode and Michael Myers being sister and brother respectively. (Of which I HATE) Look I won't waste your time and say that this is a revolutionary film. It's not a great movie on its own. But as a Halloween, Michael Myers Slasher. It's absolutely worth the watch. For a brutal and methodical, slow menacing force of nature like this Michael. It's a little jarring for me personally to see in comparison to the more limber and spry psychopathic Michael Myers of the first film. The stalking and creeping still remains though, fortunately. But this Myers is just pure Jason Voorhees territory here. Any ideas he was maybe a man before is out the window here. He absolutely is a supernatural killer. Sadly for me, (while I think it's cool) it doesn't work as well as the more maniacal and Shape like original played by Nick Castle. Laurie doesn't have much to do besides lay around in a hospital, or wander around barely sedated or half asleep. As for Doctor Loomis, this may be his most important role yet. As he is the first person to "Kill" Michael Myers. (Spoiler he comes back). 6.7 out of 10 for me. It's not my least favorite, but own it's own and in comparison to the 78 classic. It doesn't hold much weight. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/03/25 Full Review Lucas R. 2. Halloween || (9/10) This might be the biggest hear me out of all time, but Halloween 2 was better than 1. I’ll stand on that! First off, the music variety was amazing and well thought out, as it was tense with the tense scenes, scary with the scary scenes, and beautiful on the spots it needed to be! It also allowed itself to be more…horror! the kills in this were way better than the original (other than the Hallway kill in the first that’s still pretty good.), and well thought out! the part i liked a lot was it focused a hella lot on some side Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/25 Full Review Melissa L I cannot believe the "professional" critics panned it. This is a classic horror movie. The first one was released BEFORE "Friday the 13th." Those two movie franchises shaped the entire '80s era, which is the real dawn of the "slasher" genre. Sure, there were other lackluster slashers prior to these two movie franchises, but they generally didn't have sequels and an entire following. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/25 Full Review Khaliel P Halloween II (1981) picks up right after the original, but trades Carpenter’s suspenseful atmosphere for Rick Rosenthal’s more conventional slasher style, filled with gore, quick kills, and an inflated body count. The infamous twist—that Laurie is Michael’s sister—strips the killer of his terrifying randomness and weakens the story, while Michael himself becomes an unstoppable, almost cartoonish force. Despite its flaws and lack of the original’s chilling tone, it still stands as one of the franchise’s better sequels—a sign of just how uneven the series would become. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/25 Full Review Patrick M. I like how it explains more than the first movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review Joshua H. I really enjoy this sequel….its one of the best in the franchise ..even though I don’t care for the added story of Michael Myers, and Lori being related…Warlock is a great Michael Myers Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
