Halloween II
Directed by Rob Zombie
Halloween 2
When Rob Zombie remade John Carpenter’s 1978 slasher classic, “Halloween,” he added a back story for the masked psycho killer Michael Myers that took up his film’s first half-hour. In his new “Halloween II” — a remake of the 1981 sequel, and a sequel to his own remake — he reverses the process. The film’s first half-hour cleverly encapsulates the plot of the 1981 original, leaving Mr. Zombie free to do what he will with the remaining hour-plus. If only he had more on his mind than his love of 1970s Italian horror films, his meticulous color schemes and his body count. — Mike Hale , The New York Times
