News & Interviews for Halloween II
Critic Reviews for Halloween II
All Critics (35) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (11) | Rotten (24) | DVD (4)
Rick Rosenthal, who directed this 1981 sequel, doesn't have Carpenter's expansive, affectionate way with stereotypical characters, and without it they're empty shells -- bodies waiting for the slaughter.
This uninspired version amounts to lukewarm sloppy seconds in comparison to the original film that made director John Carpenter a hot property.
The result won't make any converts, but Jamie Lee Curtis is as good as ever.
It's a little sad to witness a fall from greatness, and that's what we get in Halloween II.
Halloween II is good enough to deserve a sequel of its own.
Halloween is a classic and its first sequel is a sloppy afterthought.
Audience Reviews for Halloween II
A terrible, useless sequel that invests in mindless gore instead of creating any real tension, and it is ridiculous (and disappointing) how it turns Michael Myers into an indestructible monster and leaves the rest of the cast to be mere bodies for slaughter.
Super Reviewer
Contrary to the critics, I actually quite liked this. No it wasn't as good or well done as the first, however it could have been a lot worse. There was still tension and unpredictability, which is good enough for a sequel.
Super Reviewer
I love the Halloween films, but my words can't save a failure movie. I think this movie in particular was pretty funny since NO ONE else seemed to be in the hospital as the mayhem was going on! What kind of realism is that?
