Halloween 2 times the gore...........

Review by George Carabetsos, 2010-09-05

When I first seen this on the big screen, I didn't care for it. But decide to buy the dvd anyway. Watching it a second time was good. This movie is not all that bad. Michael Myers came back to life after the ambulance crash into a cow. Michael then sees his mother spirits telling him he'll soon be home. Then Michael goes threw his killing spree, and trying to find his little sister. This movie got lots of gruesome detail murder scene, which would make any horror fan happy. This not Rob Zombie's best movie, but still worth a watch.

This Halloween 2 is too hardcore.

Review by James McDonald, 2010-09-02

Unrated Director's Cut running time: 1 hour, 58 mins.
This Rob Zombie version of Halloween 2 (2009) begins the same night where Halloween - Unrated Director's Cut (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition) (2007) ended.
Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton) is walking down the street in shock after shooting Michael Myers. Sheriff Brackett (Brad Dourif) stops his car to comfort her. She is taken to the hospital and is in extreme pain and hysteria.
The body of Michael Myers is put in a Coroner's vehicle. On the road, the vehicle stops sudddenly as it hits a cow. Michael, alive, busts out of the back doors and kills the passenger.
Michael quickly finds his sister in the hospital and terrorizes her again.
Suddenly, Laurie wakes up and it is 2 years later (unrated version). Her nightmares are getting worse as Halloween approaches. Laurie believes she killed Michael. She is living with Sheriff Brackett and Annie (Danielle Harris) who has also survived her ordeal with Michael.
Laurie visits her therapist (Margot Kidder).
Dr. Sam Loomis (Malcolm McDowell) has also survived his terror of Michael, his former patient, and is now on tour doing seminars and book signings about his new book on Michael Myers. Not everyone is happy with his tell-all book.
He believes Michael is dead as well, however his body was never found.
We see that Michael is still alive and is on his way to Haddonfield.
Laurie's dreams are becoming too gruesome amd bothersome. She is schizophrenic and hallucinates. She really has it out with her therapist.
The more that Michael nears Haddonfield, the worst Laurie becomes.

Also in he cast: Richard Riehle, Howard Hesseman, Mary Birdsong, Weird Al Yankovic.
Brad Dourif: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002).

Margot Kidder: Superman - The Movie (1978), The Amityville Horror (1979), Superman II(1980), Superman III (1983), Superman 4: The Quest For Peace (1987).

Richard Riehle: Office Space (1999), Grounded for Life (2001-05), Red (2008), A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas (2011).


Please keep in mind Rob Zombie took on this project at the last minute and decided to make it his own version with his own ideas.
I thought the film had a good start until we found it to be part of her dream.
This movie was much too hard core and strange to see. I'm glad I did not see it in the movie theatres and probably will not watch it again.

Some of us heard about the ordeal actress, Margot Kidder went through many years ago in 1996, so it is surprising to see her as a therapist in this kind of film.
The scenes with Scout Taylor-Compton must have been hard for her.

Option of subtitles in english.
Special Features: Audio Commentary with Rob Zombie, over 20 deleted scenes and alternate scenes, 30 bloopers. more featurettes and surprises.

*** Update: The new Halloween 3 will be directed by Paul Lussier. They hope to release it October 31, 2011.

In the meantime, enjoy the original Halloween (1978), Halloween II (1981), Halloween III - Season Of The Witch (1982).

Not as good as the ORIGINAL Halloween 2

Review by Izumi Yamane, 2010-08-30

This movie was ok, but after watching the first Halloween movie by Rob Zombie this movie was really not very good.
It was really dark and "gothy", maybe he was going for that image, but the story wasn't there. The first movie was WAY better, the ORIGINAL Halloween 2 with Donald Pleasance was really great. This movie compared to that, makes this movie look.........well....not well written or directed. i love Malcolm McDowell, but his role in this movie was not good. Really dissapointing. Don't waste your money on this one, buy the original with Jamie lee Curtis you will like it much more than this one. It had potential.....but what a waste of time......

don't waste your time

Review by Horror movie fan, 2010-08-27

this movie completely sucks. don't waste your time with this movie because basically there is no plot the characters are poorly written and the acting is extremely bad. i had expected better from rob zombie. the only good thing about this movie is the gore but even that way to over done. this is one movie i got up and walked out of halfway threw it. so please don't waste your time.

This movie isn't for everyone

Review by Wild At Heart, 2010-08-23

I've been a huge fan of the Halloween series since I was about 8 or 9 years old. I've seen all of the Halloween movies dozens & dozens of times. Of course I love the original Halloween & the original sequel Halloween II. I will say I was a bit nervous going to see this movie because I did not want to be disappointed like I was with the 2007 remake by Rob Zombie (or "re-imagining"). But that movie has since grown on me a bit. Anyways, I found that I was one of the few who actually enjoyed this movie. I loved that it was so dark. I loved that we actually got to see Laurie Strode become a totally different person, completely consumed & affected by the tragedy she endured in the first film. That's something I like to see in characters, especially in horror films & you don't always get to see that. I really like how Scout-Taylor Compton pulled that off. I thought she was great & alot better than she was in the first film. She is a complete wreck in this movie. I also loved that Annie was in this film & we got to see Danielle Harris but I was a little disappointed in her death scene because well, they really didn't show it. But I felt really connected to these characters after the first film which is always nice so I loved following them in this sequel. I just really liked this film. It took a few viewings to really understand it & understand what Rob was going for but I do now & I like that he took it in a new direction. At least it wasn't the same thing done over again like in many of the previous Halloween sequels. I will say that I was disappointed that they didn't use the same child actor to play Michael in this one. Also, I'm not quite sure which ending of the film I prefer. The theatrical ending is just okay while the unrated ending is completely shocking but I didn't like that Michael was unmasked. I will say that it is weird seeing Michael with such a crazy beard looking like a hillbilly but then again, it does seem more realistic. I don't really think that Michael Myers the serial killer would take time to find a way to shave!! Anyways I guess this is one of those films where you either love it or you hate it. You definitely need to try and have an open mind when watching this, especially if you're an avid Halloween fan like myself but if you can just take it for what it is & accept that it's simply just a "re-imagining" then maybe you will learn to love it or it will grow on you.
