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.

Not much X appeal
Put off watching this for a while after mainly bad reviews for it. It's definitely a bit strange for an X-Men film as it feels much like a teen horror. It reminded me of @The Ward (2010) as these mutants are held in a creepy looking hospital facility that's isolated.
Thankfully the cast does have some talent and Anya Taylor-Joy steals the light in her scenes.
Once past the slow and dull first half of the film it did pick up a bit for the finale. Most likely disappointing for X-Men fans but Horror fans might like it more.

Riding The Bullet- is a underrated psychological horror thriller film based off of a stephen king novel.

The Plot: Ever since his father passed away, art student Alan Parker (Jonathan Jackson) has been hypnotized by thoughts of death. After his girlfriend, Jessica (Erika Christensen), breaks up with him, Alan attempts suicide but is rescued by his friends. The next day, he learns that his mother (Barbara Hershey) has just had a serious stroke, and he sets out to hitchhike to her hospital. Along the way, he meets a series of strange people, including sinister George Staub (David Arquette), who may be Satan.

Its psychological, horrorfying, thrilling, chilling, spooky, terrorfying and super underrated.

I would highly reccordmend this movie.
