Description

Rob Zombie's loose (and much more brutal) remake of the 1981 sequel to John Carpenter's classic horror. Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton) is taken to the hospital after it is thought that she has killed the man responsible for the string of murders in Haddonfield. But her stay at Haddonfield General is cut short when the supposedly-dead Michael (Tyler Mane) reappears, murdering everyone in sight as he seeks out his sister.

    • My favorite Halloween movie.
This is my favorite Halloween movie. Unlike most people, I really enjoyed Rob Zombie's Halloween II, and it's my favorite movie in the series. To start off with negatives, I dislike Dr. Loomis in this one. I get that he would try to make money off of Michael's attacks, but he comes off as really rude until the end of the movie. I also dislike Annie getting killed. A bad end to a great character. I also didn't like the ending to the Unrated version where Laurie dies. I much more prefer the Theatrical cut where the pace is a little quicker, and Laurie lives. She is my favorite character in the remake series. I do like the Unrated version, I just prefer to watch the Theatrical version. The good things about the movie, I like seeing how everyone changed because of the attacks. Laurie has become a psychological mess, Annie has matured a lot, and Sheriff Brackett has become more caring towards Annie and Laurie. I think Scout Taylor-Compton is a better actress as Laurie because not only do I strongly dislike Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later and Halloween:Resurrection, but since I'm a teenager now, she and her friends seem more relatable and more like the teens in my generation. She also plays Laurie well in this one because seeing how she was a really friendly and nice person in the first one, and seeing how Michael has messed her life up makes her more sympathetic. I don't mind Michael's look in this one because really what does he do for the rest of the year when it's not Halloween? He's not going to wear the mask 24/7, because the latex will rot further. It gets torn at one point in the movie and by the end of the movie, it looks like it could fall apart. I don't mind the "Hobo Michael" look. Seeing his mom with the "White Horse" concept doesn't bother me because it is his perception of her and not actually her spirit talking to him. Dr. Loomis is my favorite character in the original movies, and Laurie is my favorite character in the remakes. Annie has become more mature in this one and takes care of Laurie. Sheriff Brackett is also likable, he is a beaten down father taking care of Laurie and Annie. There are many other things I love about this movie. Seeing the psychological effects on the characters is interesting. I can imagine Laurie turning out like she did after what happened with in the last movie. The hospital sequence which turned out to be a dream was well done and suspenseful. I initially didn't like Michael grunting when he kills people, but now I don't mind it. In the hospital scene, it makes sense becuase it's Laurie's dream, so she's going to have an exaggerated view on Michael's attacks. Michael's kills were even more brutal than the last movie. Annie's death is the most depressing movie death I have seen ever. The music playing while Laurie holds her as she's dying was really sad. Then Sheriff Brackett comes and breaks down. Rob Zombie did a good job making you feel emotion in that scene. Laurie's friend Mya's death was also kind of sad when she was brutally killed. Dr. Loomis' death in the Theatrical version involves Michael hacking him 6 times and stabbing him 12 more times. The party scene with Laurie and her friends was well done and entertaining. The Theatrical version, which I am reviewing, is my favorite of the two versions because Laurie seems to try to get her life together, and the ending is much better, because in the Unrated version, Laurie is shot and dies. Her dying vision is of her in an asylum as her real mother walks to her while "Love Hurts" plays. Depressing, but I like the Theatrical version's ending, where she kills Michael and lives, then the scene transitions to the same scene in the asylum while "Laurie's Theme" plays, making the ending more sinister and creepy, and setting up for what could have been an interesting follow-up for a Halloween III. This is, in my opinion, the most underrated Halloween movie. Everyone is allowed their own opinion, and in my opinion, this is my favorite Halloween movie. It's not like every other Halloween movie, Rob Zombie recreates the characters and makes them his own further than his first movie. It's gruesome, emotional, gritty, and when Michael kills, you feel the victim's pain. I love pretty much everything about this movie. When I want to watch a Halloween movie, I usually watch Rob Zombie's Halloween and Halloween II. A lot of people hate it because they consider it a remake of the original Halloween II from 1981, but it is not a remake, it is a sequel to Rob Zombie's remake/re-imagining. I love this movie and I watch it often, and I enjoy it every time, no matter what others think. ... show more

    • Nightmare in Haddonfield
No, you don't have to be a degenerate to enjoy director Rob Zombie's violent remake/sequel of "Halloween 2." Director Rick Rosenthal's original "Halloween 2" (1981) qualified as a one-dimensional, no-brainer sequel bloodbath with stabalicious Michael Myers prowling a hospital and killing everybody in sight, not always with a knife. Michael assumed a supernatural omnipotence in "Halloween 2" and he survived virtually everything, even being blinded by Laurie. Nevertheless, "Halloween 2" told us nothing new about Michael other than he derived satisfaction from killing more people in different ways. Writer & director Zombie doesn't make this mistake with "Halloween 2" and it is virtually as brilliant and psychologically insightful as its predecessor. The cinematography and the songs, especially "Nights in White Satin" by the Moody Blues, enhance the atmosphere of this chiller. Zombie's "Halloween 2" is a surreal saga and a commentary about family values. This remake of "Halloween 2" is far more ambitious, gruesome, and psychological than the original. Briefly, in the prologue, Zombie flashbacks to 10-year old Michael at the mental asylum conversing with his mother (Sheri Moon Zombie of "House of 1000 Corpses") about a white horse that she has given him. The first thing we see is a definition of a white horse and that it symbolizes the rage of the protagonist. Meanwhile, the Michael that talks with his mom is the Michael before he retreated behind the mask. Sure, it is unfortunate Zombie couldn't bring back Daeg Faerch to reprise his role as young Michael. According to Zombie, young Faerch had grown too old to play a 10-year old. Nevertheless, Chase Wright Vanek brings his chilly presence to the role, resembling a murderous munchkin. Thereafter, Zombie's "Halloween 2" replicates the original as ambulances deliver both Laurie and Annie (Danielle Harris) to Haddonfield Hospital where the emergency room physicians perform miracles, especially the hacked up Annie. Meanwhile, Sheriff Brackett (Brad Dourif of "Dune") orders the coroner to lock up Michael's body until he can examine it. No sooner have the two sleazy attendants loaded Michael and driven off than they slam into a cow on the highway, killing the driver instantly, smashing up his partner, and allowing Michael to escape. At the hospital, Laurie isn't doing so well. Laurie is frantic about Annie and she still suffers from the trauma of having emptied a revolver into Michael. Just as she is regaining her grip on reality, Michael comes a-slashing and nobody can keep him out. He chases a hysterical Laurie during a storm around the hospital and corners her in the security guard shack with a fire axe. He chops his way into the shack, but Laurie manages to escape. Indeed, Laurie escapes by waking up. Dreams, hallucinations, and nightmares pervade "Halloween 2" and you can never be sure when reality is real. Michael is driven by the image of a giant white horse held on a rope by his dutiful mom Deborah, with himself standing alongside her as an angelic 10-year adolescent. Family solidarity means a lot to Michael, and Michael has sworn to reunite the family, even if it means butchering Laurie like a steer. However, Zombie shows us a deeper, psychic linkage between Laurie (Scout Taylor-Compton) and Michael. When Michael (Tyler Mane of " Troy ") slaughters a dog and dines on it, Zombie cross-cuts images of Michael devouring the dog with Laurie eating a pizza. Psychically, Michael and Laurie groove on the same wavelength and Laurie winds up vomiting. because she can taste the dog meat. Without spelling it out in dialogue, Zombie tells us it is this deep, psychic connection between Michael and Laurie as blood kin that enables him to track her down. Life after Halloween has not been a picnic for Laurie. She visits her therapist (Margo Kidder of "Superman"), works at an old hippie-style coffee house run by none other than Howard Hesseman of "WKRP in Cincinnati ," and hangs out with two trippy girlfriends. Repeatedly, Laurie has lurid nightmares about Michael's attacks, but Michael is nowhere nearby. Indeed, he has gone into hiding in the woods, until two pugnacious rednecks catch up with him and too late realize their error. Like the original "Halloween 2," Laurie doesn't know she is related to Michael Myers, and this revelation scrambles her brain. Laurie Strode is the chief protagonist in "Halloween 2" and the film justly belongs to Scout Taylor-Compton as she struggles to survive. She lives now with Annie and her father at their rural house. Not only does "Halloween 2" look different from its predecessor, but also Zombie emphasizes the rural quality of the area. In his remake of "Halloween," we were trapped along with the principals in what appeared to be a rural suburb. "Halloween 2" takes us back to the woods. Michael spends his time communing with nature and the visions of his mother, the white horse, and himself as an innocent adolescent before he resumes his murderous ways. Not surprisingly, the violence in "Halloween 2" is gruesome but not sickening. In other words, we rarely see close-ups of the knife penetrating flesh. Zombie's favorite tactic is to let Michael strike just as things are calming down and part of this involves sudden movements and things like glass or wood shattered by his fists. There are moments when the violence takes on a traumatic weight that will scare the daylights out of the squeamish while gorehounds may yawn at some of Zombie's discretions. "Halloween 2" is both a triumph in style and substance with an ending that suggests Zombie may pull the biggest surprise in the franchise should the saga continue. ... show more

    • Fantastic Character Study
This version of Rob Zombie's Halloween II is unrelenting. The descent into madness by the lead character as a result of the events from the first movie ... is to me ... both believable, sad and gripping. The actual horror and violence is gritty and visceral and unlike what you see in most modern slasher flicks. The tone is dark and bleak. But it matches the overall aspect of the character arcs. Some might find the white horse / ghost mom imagery as an ill-fitting placement, but in the directors cut, it just seems to fit a bit better than in the theatrical release. That said, maybe one or two less uses would have been ideal. However it doesn't take me away from the movie events. The portrayal of Michael Myers I'm sure will be up for debate, but to me it seems grounded in Zombie's vision for the character. He is a force of nature ... and it's truly depicted in this film. He is brutal, he is as much beast as he is man. He is a product of both innate evil and the evil that distorted his upbringing. The evolution of Laurie and Annie and the excellent Sheriff Bracket characters make this movie a truly excellent piece of film-making. To me they are all believable ... and doomed. The extra scenes in the Director's Cut go even further in fleshing out what their lives have become because of the traumas that have and are again unfolding around them. My only two "complaints" would be the turn of Dr. Loomis from one movie to the next. Unlike the three characters above, his turn to a greedy shill seemed a bit forced here. I thought he was played better in the first film. Here he seems almost like a cartoon character coming across a bit too goofy for this dark Zombie world. The second "complaint" would be the ending ... For me, I just enjoyed the ending of the theatrical release ending better. I liked the ambiguity of it and I think it left it a bit more open to interpretation. Here there is a definitive close ... which as Zombie notes in the commentary was his intention. I'm just not sure it's best given the "descent into madness" tale he was spinning. Overall, an excellent film that in enhanced by it's new material. Commentary from Zombie is definitely interesting as well and helps to frame his mindset for these characters. It wouldn't surprise me if this movie moved away from it's stigma as a failure and into the world of a cult classic as time goes on. ... show more

    • Just What I Wanted…Part 2 The Director’s Cut 🎬
This DVD 📀 that I ordered was actually to replace the original copy I had several years back. I kinda wish that they (Rob Zombie) had of decided to have gone with the alternate kill seen with the sexy little nude dancer. But I am assuming it was not just gore and shock value, but so it would be reminiscent of the 140* hot tub scene from the John Carpenter’s 1981 original which was a good deal taken/happening in a hospital 🏥. Nurse Karen was her character’s name. Even though a somewhat graphic scene, at least she was in a state of total shock once pulled out of the boiling water the 3rd time. Pamela Susan Shoop [Nurse Karen] in my opinion was the hottest (no pun intended) actress in the movie 🎥 as well! And the brunette that went to the Halloween party dressed as Tim Curry’s character in‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ was a pretty scantily, turn on too. I have to admit, except for Halloween 🎃 1&2, oh yeah, and ‘A House Of 1,000 corpses’ which was a little bit much. I have not been able to get into (through) Mr. Zombie’s films. Nothing against him! I really liked‘White Zombie’ 🎸🎤🎶🎼…and from listening to commentary-to behind the scenes instructions to the cast members, he seems well spoken, professional and discreet. This DVD arrived in my mailbox 📬 at least a couple weeks earlier than predicted, and in excellent shape if it has been brand new. I got it for a few bucks. I’m very satisfied. Thank You, Jason ... show more

    • I could have loved it more, but I loved it more than I expected to.
I was immediately open to Rob Zombie's Halloween and generally liked it basically because it was different. It wasn't a shot-for-shot remake, but it was also a bit messy. The first half was certainly very good; Zombie's chronicling of Michael Myers' life stuck in institution was well explored ground and written very well, but then the second half feels like a push-pull between something like Gus Van Sant's shot-for-shot remake of Psycho to Zombie's interpretation of the original material, which is where the first film fell a bit flat. However, with the "Unrated Director's Cut" of Halloween II, Zombie goes in a different direction yet again, and it feels like Zombie's finally made Halloween his own. It's been two years since the psychotic events of October 31st in Haddonfield, Illinois, and Laurie Strode is a mess. She's living with Annie Brackett, who used to be her best friend, but animosity has grown since the Halloween incident. She's having bizarre visions and a revelation in the new tell-all book by Samuel Loomis catapults her into events that will finally bring a close to the Michael Myers' rampage. From the get-go, this isn't your typical horror film. It doesn't even seem like a horror film. Sure, there are deaths, stabbings, and freaky visions, but it plays out more like a drama that used horror as its basis. It's one of the smartest moves ever made in a horror sequel. Rob Zombie is the thinking horror fan's director, he won't do a retreading of material, he won't rehash ideas, he'll keep going in different directions, and I never cease being interested in what he has to say within his films. Scout-Taylor Compton provides a fantastic performance as Laurie Strode and really makes Strode her own; the scenes involving Strode and Margot Kidder's psychiatrist are of a particular note, showing Strode spiralling out of control and Kidder's psychiatrist trying to work out how to help this poor girl. Strode is having psychotic visions, and it is one of these visions that is probably my favourite parts of the film involving lots of profanity, almost silent movie-esque looks and a glass coffin which works very well, it's a scene that has a great impact and is visually pleasing, despite the amount of profanity being thrown at the camera. Of particular positive notes is the inclusion of home video footage of Danielle Harris as a young Annie Brackett. The Halloween fan will know Harris played Jamie Lloyd, the niece of Michael Myers and daughter of Laurie Strode in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, and there is a poignancy of showing this footage with Harris' history in Haddonfield. It's quite moving actually, which leads me to Brad Dourif. In the first film, Brad Dourif played Annie's father, Sheriff Brackett, and it wasn't terribly memorable. It was cool as Dourif is the voice of another horror icon, Chucky the Good Guy Doll from the Child's Play films, but other than that, there wasn't anything stand-out about him in Zombie's Halloween. He completely breaks out in Halloween II, showing a father falling to pieces, and bringing such a reality to his character and such sympathy, making Brackett my favourite character in Halloween II, and is probably the best performance Dourif has ever given on screen. It's positively fantastic, and words can't describe how amazing his performance is...you need to see it. The Blu-Ray disc provides a great picture and sound, loud and threatening, just the way I like it. The image has changed from the cinemascope 2:35:1 of the first film to a normal widescreen image that helps bring across the raw energy the film oozes out of every grainy pore it owns. It's a faithful representation and helps communicate the raw energy of the film well. Deleted and alternate scenes are included which aren't much to write home to mum about, they provide interesting but unnecessary alternative takes of different scenes. What would have been better is the inclusion of the theatrical cut. Audition footage is provided of some newcomers. While interesting to watch, is there a need for it? Do Rob Zombie/Halloween fans demand audition footage of as-yet-unknown actors? Of note is Chase Vanek, replacing Daeg Faerch as Young Michael Myers due to a growth spurt. Vanek provides a good substitute but didn't seem as gloomy as Faerch was. Make-up test footage is also included, which, too, is interesting, but hardly necessary. A blooper reel is included which probably made me smile once or twice. There is a fictitious band made for this film named Captain Clegg and the Night Creatures, and about nine minutes of music video is provided, intercutting black-and-white typical "music video shoot" footage with the scene in the film with sprinklings of old horror films and cartoons. They're all the same and not my cup of tea. Unce Seymour Coffin's Stand Up Routines. This guy is also in the club scenes and isn't funny, but does some jokes that may make you smile, but providing unused footage of unfunny stand-up routines for entertainment is redundant. I didn't even make it past one minute of it. The whole joke in the film is that this guy is funny because he isn't funny. Providing 5-10 minutes of unfunny material will keep hitting the nail on the head but eventually bore the hammer into the skull and then eventually into the brain matter, providing a painful experience. My thoughts go out to all who watch this in its entirety. Finally is the audio commentary from Rob Zombie. Zombie is always great to listen to; he's intelligible and explains certain ideas, cuts, and things become even more clear. He's a great guy and while he does fall into the audio-commentary no-no of describing what is on-screen, he balances that out by explaining the ideas behind the scene or a story behind the scene, which is alright. He's insightful company and worth checking out for Zombie fans. The disc is highly recommended for Zombie fans and for fans of horror in general. This isn't your typical horror film, not is it your typical Halloween film. But I liked that; it's refreshing and visually outstanding and has some fantastic ideas. I challenge all who saw the theatrical cut and hated it to watch this fantastic, albeit somewhat slow director's cut, and try not to change their minds. The inclusion of the theatrical cut would have made for some nice analyses, and the inclusion of Captain Clegg music videos and Seymour Coffins' stand up routines are unnecessary waste of precious data space. A faithful reproduction of the image and audio provides the film with a great visceral experience. I could have loved it more, but I loved it more than I expected to. ... show more

    • Wow, done in two movies. I applaud you Rob!
Michael Myers was always my favorite horror icon, scared the crap out of me as a kid and after the first two original films, was hoping for more of the same (not watered down sequels). It never happened, then came the re-envisioned first Halloween. I loved Rob's House of a Thousand Corpses and Devil's Rejects so when I saw the first one, my mind was blown. I like opening my mind to new ideas, a new take on my favorite Horror movie. Like most, I was dying for Rob's Halloween 2, I missed the theatrical release (long story) so it was even worse to wait for the Blu-ray to come out. Zombie did it again, right when I thought I had an idea of what he was going to do, he elevates the story. The beginning was very cool with reflections of the original Halloween 2 and then made it just a nightmare. LOVED THAT! Why? Because now I didn't know what was going to happen. Making Laurie mentally/emotionally lose it was brilliant, I mean how could that onslaught from Michael in the first movie not do that to any sane person? Loved the Sheriff bringing Laurie into his home and of course watching how Annie and Laurie's relationship fall apart due to what happened to them. The ending was beautiful, Rob knew what to do with his story version and how to give it great closure. Not sure why people hated how Loomis turned out, I loved the original but this Loomis is not the same character. Fame got to his head, Rob showed flaws in Loomis. Nice touch. Also Michael is a nut case, why wouldn't he imagine himself as a kid and talking to his mother? It fit this version of Halloween. Over all, it was a great fresh surprise in Halloween 2. It makes me sad that it's done for Zombie but I also didn't want ten sequels. Thank you Rob for this version of Michael Myers, I loved the original and this version, sits right next to it in my heart of Horrors. ... show more

    • Mind~Blowing ~ Non~Stop ~ Intelligent Horror!!!!!!
After seeing Rob Zombie's Halloween - Unrated Director's Cut (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition) my lover and I have been waiting with craking nails for Rob's sequel to his Masterpiece Halloween. I have to confess that we have seen Rob's Halloween at least 50 times. We try to watch it at least once a week. Finally Halloween II (the unrated dicerector's cut) arrived yesterday and last night we set up to see if this was going to be another Masterpiece for Zombie but more importantly another Masterpiece we could enjoy. After a moment we, "fastened our seat belts...) and went for one hell of a ride. We couldn't help commenting to each other how fantastic it was as we were sucked in. Every scene was more terrifying than the last. Taylor Scout Compton took her role as Laurie Strode and ripped it apart with fiendish ~ feverish ~ frenzy! Best horror female we've ever seen. We knew Walmart was selling it and was there today doing some white trash shopping. We went by the DVD section and the entire wall display of Halloween II was empty and now we know why. We can't understand why people gave it one star? Maybe he/she didn't get the promised surprise from their date that night? Fell asleep from drinking too much before the movie? Forgot to leave the lobby and game area to see the whole film? Or a grudge about something? Jamie Lee Curtis originated the role of Laurie Strode in John Carpenter's Halloween and later blew our socks off in both Halloween H2O and Halloween - Resurrection. Our Jamie could never be replaced. Yet Taylor Scout Compton brought such life to Laurie to make us believe she's Laurie that now we have 2 Flawless Laurie Strode's. But really, only one can be called, "Angel." ... show more
