Consensus: Zombie shows flashes of vision in the follow-up to his Halloween reboot, but they're smothered by mountains of gore and hackneyed, brutal violence.
Theatrical Release:09-10-2009
Synopsis: Rob Zombie returns to the world of HALLOWEEN with this sequel to his film.
Starring: Malcolm McDowell, Tyler Mane, Sheri Moon Zombie, Brad Dourif
Director: Rob Zombie
There's just something about H2 that's peculiar, odd & even intriguing. Maybe it's the fact that Zombie made HIS movie instead of OUR movie, or maybe it's the sheer simplicity & brutality of it all, but in the end I think hardcore horror fans will enjoy..
While the film is not as good as Zombie's first, the violence is relentlessly brutal and you will definitely be jumping out of your seat.
Almost shocking how skillfully anchored it is, Halloween II is confidently and assuredly its own beast, and what a beast it is.
Zombie is a terrific stylist -- there's a red-tinted party sequence that's nightmarishly creepy -- but he seems bored with this material.
A repellent and incompetent monstrosity that should put to rest for good the weirdly persistent rumor that Rob Zombie has even a shred of talent as a filmmaker.
Halloween II is every bit as pointless a sequel to the first as that film was a pointless remake of the John Carpenter classic.
