Review: Halloween II (2009)

Why I decided to sit though this, I will never know. I hated Rob Zombie's first Halloween remake, and I've never liked any of his other films. Having said that, for some reason, I thought that it would be a good idea to watch this...

I'll try my best with a plot summary, but to be honest, I'm not sure if this movie had a plot. Let me see, Michael Myers survives being shot several times in the last movie (No! Really?) to once again wreak havoc on the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois. Sound familiar? It should. It's been done before, but not quite so confusingly.

I didn't get this movie. I really didn't get it. It was ridiculous. An overly bloody, piece of mess with no real point to it whatsoever. It's a joke. A horrific joke.

In the original Halloween, Michael only needed to stab people once, with very little showing of blood, to be satisfied. Now, he's stabbing people several times, again, and again, and again. I mean, Why? They're dead! We know they're dead, he knows they're dead. Why continue? And what's with the grunting? Since when did Michael Myers grunt, or make any noise at all for that matter?

Also, why on Earth is Haddonfield so bloody dark? I mean, have they heard of electricity? Has the sun disappeared? I'd like an explanation. And another thing, do they sell clothes in Haddonfield? Everybody seems to be naked. Does anybody where a shirt?

"Are you a giant? Can we be friends?"

And what cracking dialogue (^^). Hated this film. 1/10

Trivia: Despite the bad script, filmmakers actually managed to cast this film. Wonders never cease.
