This is an entertaining movie that is worth seeing for horror fans. It lacks the spare dialogue, characterizations, and music of the first movie, but it has some exciting parts, and some great monologues by the always excellent Donald Pleasence.

I am biased with Halloween movies. They are my favorite ones. Not all of them but certain ones. The John Carpenter Halloweens are the best for me. Tells the story better than other remakes.

This movie terrified me in the 80's when I was a little girl. It's just as good as I remembered. I'm a horror movie buff, and there's nothing like the older horror movies and cult classics. Jamie Lee Curtis is obviously amazing as she evades Micheal Myers wrath. Donald Pleasant's role was a bit hokey, however so are most psychartrists in real life, so he nailed the character in my opinion. As for the plot it's a bit generic, the slasher killer who escapes custody, and can't be stopped from killing the defenseless unaware teens, and adults who find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's a very entertaining movie if you prefer movies with very little to no CGI. If you're a child of the 80's, and a fan of cult horror it will take you back to your youthful fear of Halloween, and make you jump at the thought of what goes bump in the night.Read full review

Picking up right after the first film of the series - Halloween, we get to follow the emergency care unit to the hospital where Laurie Strode is going to be treated. Of course Michael Myers will be tagging along and go through another deep blood bath of bodies to get to Laurie. Dr. Sam Loomis is still not that far behind. Nick Castle reprises his role as Michael with the aid of professional stunt man - dick Warlock.
Halloween leaves us wanting MORE~ and Deborah Hill and John Carpenter immediately set out to write Where Halloween left off~ After Michael disppears from the yard when he fell of the balcony we See Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) hauled to the local Hosptial~ local sheriff and Dr. Loomis see the end carnage from Michael~ but he is NOT DONE~ FINDING Laurie is still alive and where she is....he follows her to the Hospital~ BUT HE HAS TO KILL ANYONE WHO GETS IN HIS WAY~ PLENTY OF GORE IN THIS ONE still very good plot and very good movie BUT THE ORIG IS EVERYONES FAVORITE~ THIS IS NEXT IN THE SERIES FOR FAN FAVORITES~ GREAT ENDING AND GIVES US THE "FEEL" OF THE ORIG better than any of the follow up ones~ I GIVE THIS ONE A 8 OUT OF 10.
