Halloween II is the latest movie from director Rob Zombie. It is the sequel to his remake of John Carpenter's Halloween which came out to theatres back in 2007. The new movie returns the surviving cast of the previous film.
Unlike the 2007 movie this is a completely original film with a new story and new ideas. The basis, of course, is the same. Michael Meyers is after his sister Laurie. But for what purpose? That is where the new re-imagining takes place. This Halloween movie is unlike any you have ever seen. Michael has a new twisted kind of purpose and motivation that you never have seen. What is the force behind it all? I don't really want to give that away because it's something that wasn't shown in the trailers. But you do see it early in the film and it developes nicely. It is pretty realistic and I have heard about in discussions by psychologists. It really impressed me to see it as the main theme in the movie. It is quiet possible that Zombie was drawing from an earlier concept shown in the Halloween sequels in the late 1980s but it is still quiet different and unique.
Furthermore, the character of Michael Meyers continues to be original. He does move differently and seems to think a little differently than in the earlier films.
From a graphic content stand point I don't think this movie was as quite as violent as Zombie's 2007 film. But it is no walk in the park either. Some of the most intense stuff is early on in the hospital. There is also more of a creepy atmosphere in this movie. Not incredibly scary, but creepy. More dark looking.
I am glad I got to see this movie. It provided the type of entertainment you expect plus it does provide some things to think about. I loved it...
