This is the usual problem with horror films. As much as they want to catch the attention of viewers and as much as they want to impart scary feelings towards the viewers, they tend to forget about the importance of other aspects. Indeed, too much of something is bad enough. Therefore too much of being scary is really not good.

[...] The Thorn idea may not sit well with most Halloween fans, and I agree, it was a rather silly concept. However, the Producer’s Cut of the movie flows MUCH better with the Jamie arc of the franchise (movies 4, 5 and 6) than the theatrical cut, and is a far superior finale to that continuity (Halloween H20 ignores 4-6 and is a direct sequel to Halloween 2).

I think the only problem with these films is the underlying motivation. Halloween was a labor of love, made by people committed to creating the most suspenseful and compelling motion picture they could. Halloween II, however, was impelled by the desire to make money.

Hi there,

This is the above poster checking back in. Just wanted to say that I thought Halloween II was almost as good as the original, but not quite there. I think it had a different approach though that set it apart from the first film, especially the hospital scenes and the ending. Horror sequels are usually horrible, but this one was surprisingly good. I liked this film enough to go out and purchase a copy for myself. I highly recommend it to anyone else who is interested in watching it.

I loved the original and I’ve heard good things abou this sequel. And from your review, it sounds even better. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen it for sale at any of my local video shops (I guess because it’s so old). The only place I have been able to find it so far is online, but I would have to pay extra to have it shipped. So what I have decided to do is check it out with Netflix first and see if it’s worth purchasing. I just registered for Netflix not too long ago but I can already see why it’s so popular. It’s a great way to preview a movie you are interested in before you actually shell out any money for it. Netflix isn’t the only mail rental service out there, there are others. Depending on where you live there may even be some local chains that offer similar services. Here is a good guide (www.dealsdepot.com.au/a91/The-Benefits-of-DVD-and-Movie-Rental-Services/article_info.html) that compares some of the different ones out there. I requested Halloween II to be sent to my apt after reading this review. Once it arrives and I’m able to watch it, I’ll come back and share my thoughts on the movie. Hopefully it’s as good as everyone has made it out to be.
