Diary Entry forHalloween II
Nowhere near as good as the original but still entertaining. The stakes feel a lot lower in this despite numerous people dying. To be honest I like the sister twist but the way it was done wasn’t amazing. The music is pretty great in this as it was in the first instalment. No sure how Mike survives the ending but we shall see in the next one.

Halloween II
Sendo uma sequência direta dos eventos de seu antecessor. Esse filme inicia com o sumiço de Michael e as autoridades começando a relatar os ataques do assassino que desapareceu e Laurie, traumatizada, sente que não foi a última vez que ela encontrou o psicopata. Sendo uma sequência direta dos eventos de Halloween, esse filme é uma parte 2, ainda se passando na mesma noite de Halloween, mudando o cenário para um hospital onde o vilão precisa acertar as contas com a final Girl e mais pessoas serão vítimas de seus ataques. A direção do suspense e a tensão se provam funcionais e a brutalidade que Michael volta, fazem valer a assistida dessa parte 2 da franquia que na época era um duologia. Encerrando o arco dos personagens restantes e, com algumas revelações que deveriam impactar, mas bque no geral não tem lá grandes impactos. E, aparentemente, dando um fim as ações de Michael de uma vez por todas. Um bom filme e uma sequência a altura, porém não melhor que seu antecessor.
Halloween II
Don't look now, I may even like this one more than the first, even with it now splashing around in the pool of imitators. Love the porous quality to suburbia, the roving POV and just-out-of-view proximity. It's not that you forgot to lock your doors, evil is already here and has free movement through its facade. (Has one of my favorite shots of the series-- the sleepy fella by the TV, woman watching from behind, and Michael contemplating in the background under the kitchen glare.) Loomis' wild wielding of the gun in the previous outing was great, but this one definitely seals his character's whole deal. Skeleton crew (ha) at the hospital is a really good staging area, those institutional hallways are so oppressive. And while it restricts the scope of the bogeyman effect, I'm still a fan of the family angle; really is one of THE things the rest of the series either reacts to or has to critique.
Halloween II
Really digging the look and feel of this one, floating viewpoint and all. And I think... the proximity? Yes. "He's right there!" you want to yell with these, reaching through the screen to grab whoever by the cheeks. What a wild and woolly night!
