Advantages: The conclusion of the best slash horror film ever Disadvantages: The countless sequels spoil the dramatic ending
With halloween 2 John Carpenter (again Director composer and writer) completes the master piece is slash horror that he started with halloween.
Part two starts exactly where part one ended, with Michael being thrown out of the window, as it progresses we see nice twists that are usually left out of horror films. With the extended time granted to him john Carpenter is able to answer the question of what happens to Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis returns ... ...Unfortunatly for Laurie Michael follows....
What follows is a continuation of slick horror with each murder going a step further then the previous.
While much more conventional as a horror then the prequel (after all slasher films had become common place by now) it is still much better then average film and manages to reach a satisfying conclusion of the two films (especially if you refuse to take the sequels into account). Donald Pleasance returns ...

Advantages: the dvd has extra features Disadvantages: none
This is the sequel to John Carpenter's classic slasher movie Halloween. Continuing from the same night the first movie did where the ending left you wondering, where did Micheal dissapear too?
It has all the gore and suspence the first movie has and more, with most of the original cast returning. Although I thought it wasn't as scary as the first one, which now has took on more of a supernatural approach, as nothing seems to kill the babysitter ... ...to grip you right from the beginning. Jamie Lee Curtis gives another outsatnding performance, alongside her co-star Donald Pleasence, as they try and capture the brutal killer Micheal Myers before he does anymore trick or treating with his large kitchen knife. A perfect horror movie that you can sit on the seatte with a loved one with pillows over your eyes at the ready. ...

DVD Description
Picking up right where the last film ended, this sequel begins as Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) pumps evil Mike Myers full of lead, then watches helplessly as the maniac killer stands up again and runs away. Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), the teenager last terrorized by Myers, is taken to a nearby hospital to recover from her traumatic ordeal. But Myers isn't through with her yet, and the fright-night monster works his way through the sleepy town, leaving a river of blood in his wake. Determined to get his revenge on Laurie, he eventually descends upon the hospital--and the dark secret that binds the two of them is finally revealed.
