Review of Halloween II (1981) by Bobby B — 18 Oct 2009
Halloween II is nowhere near as completely terrible as it could've been, but it's also completely boring. The new characters are utterly forgettable and the returning characters aren't nearly as interesting this time around.
The terror, suspense, and fun has completely vanished - Halloween II does try to recapture the same slow-burn suspense of the original, but to me it felt totally lifeless. If Carpenter had been behind the helm I would probably be writing a much different review, but unfortunately Halloween II is completely lacking in the freshness and fright of the ingenious first Halloween.
