Rob Zombies Halloween 2 Reviews

Bad news for Halloween fans. It seems that Rob Zombies Halloween 2 misses the mark. this is coming from people who have seen it and enjoyed his first film. In a review by Captain Howdy he says;

Let me give it some praise before I get into what I didn't care for:  It starts with a bang, and keeps the tension up throughout the entire film.  I can not say that I got bored at all, and the movie moved along really quickly.  It also looked good.  Say what you will about Rob Zombie, but I think he's got a distinct style that is pleasing to the eye. 

Having said that, however, let me slide into my first complaint:  This is Rob Zombie-ville.  Where Haddonfield the first time around seemed like a middle class white neighborhood, this time it looks like a backwoods village that hasn't had running water in a month.  I don't know why, but Zombie makes all of the characters greasy, dirty, and just really unattractive.  Laurie this time around looks like shit run over twice throughout the film, (understandable considering), and everyone around her just looks...gross.

In a review by Paf he says;

Now if this movie did not have Halloween in the title i feel i would have a better review. The violence is hard and non-stop, some good kills. And some of the dream sequences we interesting to look at. But overall this is not Halloween and I LIKED, almost LOVED, the first one.  One last note. When i got home last night I watched all the trailers. Out of the 6 min or so of trailers about 30 sec made it into the film.  Being a huge halloween fan, in all carnations, i was left empty. Did'nt care a bit about the characters or what happen to them. [ entire review ]

It seems clear that so far Halloween 2 is not the must see horror film of the year. If you have seen it or when you do be sure to submit your own review and let us know what you thought. Read our Rob Zombie Interview

The synopsis is as follows; It's that time of year again, and Michael Myers has returned home to sleepy Haddonfield, Illinois to take care of some unfinished family business.  Unleashing a trail of terror that only horror master Rob Zombie can, Myers will stop at nothing to bring closure to the secrets of his twisted past.  But the town’s got an unlikely new hero, if they can only stay alive long enough to stop the unstoppable.
