Halloween II (1981)

In 7 words or less: Conclusive proof that Mike Myers isn't human.

Best bits? Perhaps doesn't live up to the first film for slow comfy horror fun, until the final act when it really cranks up a notch. Sadly Laurie is in a bit of a state after the events earlier this night and doesn't get to do much until the end. It starts off exactly where the first Halloween ends and there's a nice first-person scene of Mike evading the police and the Doctor and collecting his weapon of choice.

Did it make you think thoughts? It's made me excited to watch the rest of the series. I thought the Doctor comes back? But I can't imagine how after seeing this. I think this film cements my view that Myers is no longer human. Few people can take two bullets in the face and walk away from it.

Would you watch it again? Yes, it was great! Had some good jump scares at the beginning, and although it doesn't quite have the charm of the first movie, it compliments it well, and is probably best viewed as a double bill on Halloween night.

Rating (out of 100%): 66% A scary sixty six.
