Personally, I found Halloween II the darkest of any Rob Zombie movie, and certainly more menacing than any other Halloween film to date. It’s full of tortured, nasty, hateful, abhorrent, violent and crude characters, and that’s just the good guys! Mikey is back, in a big way. His look is a little different, but in a realistic “I’m-a-serial-murdering-insane-homeless-giant” kind of a way. And although the bleak, demoralising nature of the film made it painful to watch at times, I would say it was worth it overall. Featuring some strong acting, a surreal but accomplished script, an absolutely... read the rest.

What happened? When I watched the 2007 remake I was quite happy that it was a decent enough work and gave it 7 stars out of 10. This one though? Well the reboot is effectively killed as far as I am concerned. If there are to be made another movie in this franchise there has to be another reboot. This one is just ruined.

The first 20 minutes or so was not too bad. Then it just went to hell. Rob Zombie must have been high on drugs when he wrote this crud. A god chunk of it is just some drug-induced psychedelic mess.

Debora Meyers is just a foul-mouthed brat who is so dislikable that you almost... read the rest.

I see 2 reviews here on this one, one is an 8 star the other a 1 star, I've been watching Movies for over 50 years now, I absolutely love them, all types and Genres, I can sit down with my Wife or alone and watch any good Hallmark Movie or any good Horror Movie, I have favorites in all genres.

And I think I can give a good honest independent review on any type of Move, so obviously here with an 8 & 1 star reviews one of them is either 100% wrong and the other right or this move possibly falls somewhere in the middle at around a 5*.

I watched it for the 1st time last night, I like the orig... read the rest.

Malcolm McDowell so 2 stars just like I did the first one: ** The nudity isn't as much, so maybe I was wrong, maybe he was going for satire in the first one and not snuff porn...or maybe he was told to tone it down with the rape and dead naked women...

...but there are still naked women that get murdered by the big scary male monster after committing a fundamentalist sin of one kind or another...

...so was it intended to be a satire of the genre or does it just get Zombie off? Still not sure.

And again, the atmosphere isn't there. The film has a feel to it that is almost grindhouse sle... read the rest.

Paying to see this is a waste of time and money.

I've seen the original franchise, but I confess that "Halloween" will never be a movie that I enjoy. It's simply not the style of horror I enjoy: "slasher" films are simply too "campy" and will probably scare only those whose fear is measured by the amount of fake blood used in the scene. However, Carpenter's films acquired, with some merit, the character of classics. None of the older sequels even deserve to be used as a benchmark. They are simply awful, and it was the Franciscan poverty of subsequent films that motivated Rob Zombie to ta... read the rest.

It's a bore!

I didn't anticipate much from 2009's 'Halloween II' based on its predecessor and it turns out I was right to have done so. It's nae good! More of Brad Dourif is nice, though to be honest none of the cast members do anything to elevate this film up.

Not that I blame those onscreen, as it's all poorly cobbled together. The early hospital scene, starring Octavia Spencer and Richard Riehle (minorly) interestingly, showed some promise, but this flick quickly descends into a waste of 105 or so minutes; I zoned out a few times.
