BEETLEJUICE'S REVIEW OF HALLOWEEN 2

All I really have to say is: WHY???

Halloween 2 is the continuing story of Laurie Strode and her psychotic Frankenstein creation seriel killer of a brother Michael meyers.

The film has many beautiful visuals that pop up on screen and really had potential to become a welcome part of the on-going story. Unfortunately every good thing in this film is buried underneath a pile of pointless kills, unlikeable characters that you honestly don't give two shits about, and an almost non-existant story.

All The characters you love are back except this time Rob Zombie was somehow able to take away everything that got you to care about them. Loomis has been turned into a selfish, uncaring jerk. Laurie is slowly going insane. Annie barely gets any screen time at all. The only character that really put on a good performance was Brad Douriff as the Sheriff and you can't really bring yourself to care about him either.

In This film Rob Zombie once again trys to play psycho-analyst as he delves even deeper into Laurie's and Meyer's minds. The only problem is that Zombie is NOT a psycho-analyst so these parts end up having nothng to say, nothng to add to the story, and only ends up confusing the viewer.

This Time Zombie ups the violence and has us witness increasingly more and more disturbingly violent murders. It's one thing to have kills that actually add something to the story and make sense...but this film is filled with pointless kills that add nothing but more pointless and unneeded violence to the film.

Zombie trys to convince us that there is indeed a story somewhere in this awful mess but as hard as I look I can't find it. Maybe it's buried underneath all the violence...but I doubt it. the film is basically about the battle for Laurie's soul. kinda lame.

Halloween 2 is a hollow shell of a movie. It looks kind of nice on the outside but it's got nothin nice goin on inside. If you were to open it up all you would find is a lot of blood and nothingness. Halloween 2 is basically a series of pointless, unneeded violence carelessly strung together by a limp, weak storyline. I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone in all honesty. It's just not an enjoyable film to see.

Some ole Bullshit- 1 star

Although the rated edition was terrible, The unrated was much better. The kills were more scattered throughout so it didn't feel like overkill (pardon the bad pun), the characters were more developed and had more complete arcs, and the ending was more satisfying (Michael SPEAKS!!!). I feel that the failure of the rated edition was due to the restraints the MPAA placed on Zombie and with those restraints taken off, Zombie is given the chance to show his complete disturbing vision for his Halloween film.
Unrated: 4/5
