Review of Halloween II (1981) by Mr.choochoo — 14 Sep 2009

I loved RZ's 1st 2 flicks. This one is his weakest. The girls are dumb and annoying, expecially the lead, who spends most of the movie crying (when she's not partying). This is a chick flick for the goth-depraved-and-proud crowd.

The action is all a blur due to hand held jittery close-up's. The suspense and fright of Carpenter's original is totally missing here, despite (and maybe because of) the constant intensity. There's a good funny moment with Weird Al and a good inside joke with McDowell.
