An interesting Idea...
Not sure who's idea it was to not use Michael Myers for this film. In the intro to the DVD, filmmakers claimed they wanted to create a new Halloween related story annually that could rise many takes on different scary stories I suppose akin to like The Twilight Zone?
The movie was a dismal failure at the time of release, but the years have been kinder to the film arriving a now cult status.
Mysterious Halloween masks are the subject of the film and the unusual maskmaker behind them. What do they do? What is their secret?
I liked the idea and first/middle of the film but the payoff seemed a bit disappointing and unfulfilled.

Not as good, but still worth it.
Michael Myers lives, he pursues Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) to the hospital. It's up to Dr. Samuel Loomis (Donald Pleasence) to stop him.
With this sequel John Carpenter served only as a producer, Rick Rosenthal stepped in to direct.
Halloween II still has good to it. The score is good, the acting is mostly good (especially Curtis and Pleasence), and Michael has plenty of screen time which is definitely a pro.
Unfortunately, Halloween II fails to recapture its predecessors suspenseful tone, there are some pointless deaths, and some death scenes are straight up cheesy, ruining what suspense what the film had.
Overall it's still an entertaining slasher, just not anything more then that.

Hit and miss Halloween comedy
Thought I'd give this a go as it's a new Halloween comedy. I'm not much of a fan of Adam Sandler at the best of times. This has a few laughs, a great cast line up and the overall production is very good. His silly voice throughout the film is rather annoying. Makes it hard to understand what he is saying sometimes and was no need for it.
Starts well but by the end was just a bit silly, felt more like a live action scooby-doo film by the end. Aimed at a younger audience perhaps as it could have gone more all out horror but the ending was disappointing.

Feels like you're there in the park
Hell of a ride
Finally got to see this on Netflix today as I missed it at the cinema. It looked good from the trailer. Fairly low budget but it has a good premise of some friends enjoying a Halloween night at a Horror theme park. It wasn't particularly scary but the setting definitely made the film more fun as you feel like you are experiencing the park as well. Definitely more of a a slow stalk and slash film with a couple of gore scenes as well. If you are after a decent Horror film for this Halloween add this to your list and enjoy your ride to Hell Fest!

Predictable but good
You get what you expect from this movie. The acting was good. The cinematography good. A little twist here and there as the story unfolds but otherwise your typical Halloween movie. People die, supposedly the killer dies(yet again, they don't show the body). Anyway, it wasn't too bad. Worth a watch if you're bored.

Fun and educationali
I pretty much grew up in this movie and even as a kid I always just enjoyed it. It was creepy and fun and really educational without it feeling like it which as a kid was kind of important. The movie teaches you about how Halloween started and how it evolved into what is today.

Why does Halloween always look like such fun in the movies?
Whenever you watch any scary movie revolving around Halloween, they always make it look like so much fun where every neighborhood is all decked out and many children are bustling from house to house getting their treats when in reality Halloween is almost non existent any more. The handful of trick-or-treaters we usually get is almost not worth it and it is always over before dusk.
Anyways, finally saw this film tonight and I was pleasantly surprised by it.
Yes, of course, it was very predictable in parts with its dopey unintelligent characters; however, there was enough new ideas and homages to previous films for me to recommend.
Laurie Strode has really seen it all. This film finds her hardened by the events 40 years ago and estranged from her family since she can think of nothing more than getting even and finishing what Michael started all those years ago. As usual, Michael comes home to roost on another Halloween night and only Laurie and family seem up to the task of stopping another sadistic killing rampage from everyone's favorite "Captain Kirk" wannabe.
If it wasn't for Jamie Lee Curtis, this movie probably would've been a letdown. She was born to play the "scream queen" role, although this time looked more like Sarah Connor all brazen and tough with her own home base fortress equipped with a weapon arsenal.
I wonder if Michael is done for good this time? Doubtful.
