Extends this interest in psychology to Laurie Strode (played this time by Scout Taylor-Compton), plumbing the emotional and psychological connection between her and Michael.

| Oct 19, 2018

Zombie remains committed to showing how violence lingers with, and perverts, all who are touched by it

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 17, 2011

At one point in the film, a character is accused of "profiteering off the miseries of others" and that is exactly what Zombie will do to you if you see this movie.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 13, 2010

In a word, ugly. It just pips Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (aka Halloween 6) to the title of worst Halloween film ever.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 16, 2009

Halloween II is full of in jokes and references but nearly devoid of wit.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 1, 2009

You didn't think Michael Myers was dead, did you?

Full Review | Sep 1, 2009

[Halloween II] offers up a rush of fiercely imagined nightmare images.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 1, 2009

Zombie walks the walk, you can't deny it. And he's found the medium where he can let his freak flag fly highest.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 1, 2009

Most of its 101 minutes are filled with routine slasher scenes and flecks of pop-Freudian hokum about why the infamous Michael Myers (Tyler Mane) is such a murderously unhappy guy.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 1, 2009

This umpteenth feature about the unstoppable masked killer Michael Myers could be the work of any journeyman, give or take a few hundred gratuitous pop-culture references.

| Sep 1, 2009

With his new sequel, Zombie spends less time paying tribute and more time getting inventive, with mixed results.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 1, 2009

Let's float a notion: Rob Zombie is the greatest horror-movie director never to make a great movie.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 1, 2009

Zombie isn't a storyteller, he's a wallower. And because his movies take place in a culture of violence and sadism, there's nothing for Michael Myers to do except echo what's already there and slaughter weaker sadists.

| Aug 31, 2009

Zombie's viewpoint is clear: he's taking Michael's inexorable killing spree to its brutal extreme, and he wants us to feel every blow.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Aug 28, 2009

Without a new path for its central trio, Halloween II merely rehashes in quick, distracted swipes.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 28, 2009

For a filmmaker who began his career with relatively clever and visionary splatter films like House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects, Zombie seems to be pursuing the path of least resistance.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 28, 2009

Repellent not only in content but in visual style, writer-director Rob Zombie's hatchet job on the series he revived so artfully two years ago plays like a violent act of euthanasia.

Full Review | Aug 28, 2009

This movie isn't horrible, but it seems like a waste for Zombie to keep revisiting someone else's world.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 28, 2009
