Halloween II is full of in jokes and references but nearly devoid of wit.

Top CriticYou didn't think Michael Myers was dead, did you?
09/01/09
Top Critic[Halloween II] offers up a rush of fiercely imagined nightmare images.
09/01/09
Top CriticZombie walks the walk, you can't deny it. And he's found the medium where he can let his freak flag fly highest.
09/01/09
Top CriticMost of its 101 minutes are filled with routine slasher scenes and flecks of pop-Freudian hokum about why the infamous Michael Myers (Tyler Mane) is such a murderously unhappy guy.
09/01/09
Top CriticThis umpteenth feature about the unstoppable masked killer Michael Myers could be the work of any journeyman, give or take a few hundred gratuitous pop-culture references.
09/01/09
Top CriticThis one represents Rob Zombie's "vision." That being the case, he's blind.
09/01/09
Top CriticWith his new sequel, Zombie spends less time paying tribute and more time getting inventive, with mixed results.
09/01/09
Top CriticZombie isn’t a storyteller, he’s a wallower. And because his movies take place in a culture of violence and sadism, there’s nothing for Michael Myers to do except echo what’s already there and slaughter weaker sadists.
08/31/09
Top CriticRepellent not only in content but in visual style, writer-director Rob Zombie's hatchet job on the series he revived so artfully two years ago plays like a violent act of euthanasia.
08/28/09
Top CriticThis movie isn't horrible, but it seems like a waste for Zombie to keep revisiting someone else's world.
