9/10
Second best in the series!
14 July 2002
Often times its an unwritten rule that no sequel in a horror movie series can be better than the original. But that doesnt mean the sequels cant be great. This is one of the 4 good Halloween movies ( Halloween, H4, H5 and Resurrection)

The storyline: Myers has awoken from his coma ( Not suprising, he was only shot once or twice and burnt to a crisp in the last movie) and now hes after his 7 year old neice, Jamie. ( Played wonderfully by the very talented Danielle Harris) Sure, the storyline is nothing special but this is a slasher, be thankful there is a story.

Violence and gore are well done too. Too bad Myers doesnt know how to work a shotgun though.

Director Dwight Little did a great job with this movie.( Heh, coincidence, my grandfathers name was Dwight Small) Donald Pleasence as always did great as Loomis, and same goes for Ellie Cornell. And as stated earlier, Danielle Harris does a simply fantastic job, For once I actually felt bad for the kid rather than wishing they were killed.

Tis a shame no other Halloween movie reached the level of perfection the original and part 4 achieved.
