Review of Halloween II (1981) by Ws W — 07 Nov 2014
It is sad to witness a fall from greatness. It is very rare for a horror movie sequel to match the original and this is not the rare exception. First off Laurie is taken to the hospital on halloween and two days pass and it is still halloween.
They did not even take the time to do proper math. Michael Myers just happens to know the exact hospital Laurie is at. 'there is no reasoning behind it, he just happens to know everything. The people in the movie are complete idiots.
But of course if they were somewhat smart, then it wouldn't have a good plot. Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence had good performances but that is the only good thing. When they reveal the fact that Michael Myers is Lauries brother, the rest of the movie seems like a soap opera and a sibling rivalry than a horror film.
This teaches one main lesson. The sequels to horror movies ruins the original. They clearly didn't care about that.
