HALLOWEEN 2
Ungh
PLOT
The movie starts out with a flashback of Michael’s mom bringing him a horse statue and then jumps to the moment right after the last movie ended. Laurie goes to the emergency room and Michael’s dead body is picked up by an ambulance. Of course it crashes and Michael escapes. He shows up at the hospital, starts killing people and chases Laurie until oops, she wakes up and it was all a dream. Michael is actually missing and it’s a year later. Dr. Loomis is a big star how, having wrote a book about the events and Laurie has turned into one of those poser chicks that I despise. Laurie starts having visions of herself doing Michael’s earlier killings and basically being schizo before learning she’s his sister. Oh and he’s on his way “home” to finally off his little sis because his dead mom wants the family back together again.
TRIVIA
Rob Zombie originally didn’t want to do a sequel and production began with different filmmakers before he finally decided to come back.
Danielle Harris returned for her fourth turn in a Halloween movie.
THOUGHTS
I’m very protective of Michael Myers because the Halloween franchise has always been my favorite. My boyfriend and I saw this together the day after watching three of the original movies and that was probably a mistake because the longer this movie went on, the more pissed off I became. After Halloween 2 ended, we both said at the same time, “what the fuck was that?”. I really, really didn’t like this movie at all. I disliked how Laurie was a little poser teenager who does all the same damn things girls do in movies to look “different” (clothes, music, etc.) nor did I like how Dr. Loomis is now an asshole. I was hoping that the kills would be interesting, but you couldn’t see a damn thing. As soon as Michael started killing, it intercut with Laurie freaking out somewhere and you couldn’t tell what the hell was going on. I feel sad just sitting through Halloween 2.
I was fairly excited to see it, but it ended up being a letdown.
I refuse to watch this movie because I’m a huge fan of the original Halloween and Halloween II. I absolutely hated the white trash treatment of Zombie’s Halloween remake. The scary thing about Michael Meyer’s is that he comes from a relatively normal middle class family and simply kills because he’s pure evil. Throw him into a dysfunctional white trash family and of course he’s going to be f*cked up mentally.
Thank you! I always loved the Michael was a normal guy who killed and we didn’t have to have some great reason for why he killed. I loved the original movies and sitting through the first remake was painful. I don’t need to know why he killed, how his classmates picked on him or any of that other crap.Zombie has missed the mark twice now.
