Halloween II isn't quite as good as the original Halloween,but it's come damn close.It's a very entertaining,action-packed and blood-drenched follow up to the classic original.Mike's mask is even creepier and better than the mask from Part 1. He kills his victims quite gruesomely. A teen girl next door gets a serrated kitchen knife shoved into her throat,two doctors gets their eyeballs gouged out with needles and a police officer gets his throat slit with a scalpel.VERY gruesome.The music isn't as good as the music from Part 1,but it's close.The scare factor is very high and H2 is pretty much as scary as H1.Dick Warlock's performance as Myers is very menacing and devilish.The acting is still good and the story is great.However,H2 of course has flaws. The story has some plotholes (like the understaffed Hospital) and it's once again too short.Still,it's a very enjoyable follow up to the first and almost as good.It manages to fit in scares with the gore galore and Warlock's viciously evil performance.The photography and music add a lot of suspense as well,and the finale is quite terrifying.All in all,lots of gore,great acting,good plot despite some holes and a very entertaining sequel overall.
