Its a build up. the mask is getting more distorted and so is Myers.

And the movie is all in a different perspective itd be EXACTLY the same if it was script by script. You can't compare&contrast perspectives.

The first remake was ok. But this one was really disappointing. Why would you change Michael's classic appearance into a hoodie and a practically half torn mask? And why would you attempt to kill him off?? Sorry RZ. Not a good one.

Saw Halloween II in theaters, and I must say I was highly disappointed. You can tell by my profile that I am a bit of a Halloween buff considering I work for a Halloween Costume Website. The first of these retellings was excellent. It added new depth to characters that were lacking in portrayal and took new turns into unexplored territories of the franchise. This newest installment did nothing of the sort.

I felt the original gave the appearance that the film was set in the 70s and then perhaps the 80s, however in this they have cell phones, make references to Fergie, there are new cars, etc. Also, they give no explanation as to how Michael miraculously survives multiple .357 (a gun designed to destroy tissue and organs) gunshot wounds.

Also, it's indicated that Michael was only grazed by the round Laurie fired into his face at point blank range. However, there is quite a lot of arterial spray for a simple graze. Not to mention, even though Michael is supposed to be this behemoth monster, the pain would be so immeasurable that he would not have made it ten feet. Then of course, there was the portrayal of Michael. After his mother died he never speaks in the slightest. He takes several extremely damaging blows and doesn't so much as whimper. I would have no problem with this but for the most part when he kills someone he grunts like a caveman, something he did not do in the first. I understand that I am referencing the first installment of the retelling quite a bit, but I feel that if you're going to make a sequel that follows nearly directly after the first, then you should at least stick to your character designs and plot concepts. Now, for the final nail in this coffin, Sherri Moon Zombie appears quite a bit in the movie as a ghost. I don't really consider this a spoiler, so I didn't mark it as such. The real reason she is in the movie, is because she loves attention and I don't think Rob zombie could deal with the fact of making a movie that didn't involve his wife in some way. Her ghostly appearances would have been freaky and weird, if she wasn't in every other scene, looking ridiculous and rattling off her dialog in the poorest manner.

Also, why is the child version of Michael a ghost with his mother? Last I checked he wasn't dead, he just grew up. I would accept that when Michael put on the mask it represented a fracture in his psyche, but the boy version of Michael is wearing a mask as well. So if Zombie was trying to achieve that point, he simply made it redundant.

I only give this movie a 2/5 because the gore was quite good. But if you're looking for something more than that, or perhaps you hope that this movie will broaden the characters more-so than the first, I suggest you look elsewhere. Reluctantly 2/5. (Also, fun fact, a third is already slated and is going to be in 3D. The best part: Rob Zombie isn't directing it.)

I hope they keep the theme, or Halloween 2 will fail, and I will lose all faith in Rob Zombie.

The pictures look fantastic, though. They just need to keep the theme in it.

why is it that this film's been commented on since last August, yet every time I looked up the title H2 movieweb failed to find me anything relavent?

And a 35 day shoot is rather impressive.

They're getting rid of the Halloween theme! I'm starting to have my doubts about this movie.

That's great. Dr. Loomis is important to the series.

WHAT?!?!? Oh hell yeah, I'm gonna watch this regardless. I like Rob Zombie. I think he did the remake wonderfully. :)

the_tall_guy

Malcolm McDowell is not gonna be in this movie? I'll still go see it, since Tyler Mane is Michael and Rob Zombie is directing.

The CryptKeeper

Yes, it is a good idea. Think about it. Our of all 9 of the Halloween films, are there any you dont like (besides the remake, and Halloween 3)? I am sure that answer would be no. So i say KEEP 'EM COMIN'!!!!!

i understand where your comin from Vamp2000 but a sequel to Halloween just isnt a good idea, im sorry

Vamp

The Hitcher remake was awesome. And you seem to leave out remakes of old school horror that were awesome, like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes. You people always count the bad over what was good. Get the f*ck over it.

So... would it be a remake of Halloween 2 or a new "original" sequel?

Nyfresh

Halloween Pointless sequel remake 2 is the perfect name for it, i had no problem with Rob Zombie's re-imagine of the movie and thats why i respected his point of view and understood the movie to a point that i actually appreciated it but there no need for a sequel.

Im a real Halloween fan and i beg of you plz dont do this, im gonna b force to watch it and i dont think im gonna b so understandin like i was witht he first
