Hi,
Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2 was last night’s film. Starring Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween), Danielle Harris (Halloween), Brad Dourif (Halloween) and Tyler Mane (Halloween) as Michael Myers.
1 Year one and Laurie (Scout Taylor-Compton) is still having nightmares, which involve her real mother and a young Michael. Are her nightmares about to come true, is Michael still alive and ready to finish what he started?
I really didn’t like this movie at all, the characters for starters were terrible, and I didn’t really care if any of them survived. Maybe Zombie wanted me to side with Michael but it seemed Michael just killed anybody in his way regardless if they meant anything to him or not.
The kills were extremely brutal most of the time, usually with his favoured butcher’s knife, but nothing inventive just brute force.
The script was poor and the dream sequences just confused things, in the end I wasn’t sure if Michael was more of a supernatural entity than human. But then again I didn’t really care either way.
Overall not a good film at all. (3/10 – Rubbish)
I enjoyed it a little more than you did. The film was brutal but did lack somrthing. Some elements didn't work (the joint dream sequences and loomis's character change to name 2). He'd tried to give Michael a reason as to why he did what he did (the voices told him to) but again it just made things confusing. The other characters were standard horror fair but nothing special. There were more questions raised than answered (why did he just drop out of society for one year then start up again in such a brutal way). Overall not a bad effort but not a good one either 5/10
