2/5
"Absolutely awful, with no trace of the original's terror."

Christopher Null
1.5/4
"...worth watching if only for the sequence in which Michael Myers actually walks through a plate-glass door."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
3/4
"A more than solid if admittedly inferior continuation."

"It's a little cheap to have a sequel that merely completes the story you SHOULD have told in Part 1, but as sequels go, this one's not bad."

"
Halloween
...is in a class by itself, and comparing the sequel to it--as critics and audiences often do, dismissively--is unfair. Sure, [it] lacks the freshness of its predecessor. But compared to films its own size...it's a goddamn masterpiece."
The L Magazine
Henry Stewart
2/4
"
Halloween
is a classic and its first sequel is a sloppy afterthought."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
2/5
"Had
Halloween 2
not been a sequel to one of the greatest genre films of all time, it would be regarded as little more than another bad slasher film from an era full of bad slasher films -- a fate that it richly deserves."

"A solid movie, despite falling so far from the original."
Cold Fusion Video Reviews
Nathan Shumate
68/100
"While it’s nowhere near the classic that the original is, this sequel deserves credit for trying to stay on track with its predecessor and succeeding most of the way."
Apollo Guide
Scott Weinberg
4/10
"Does the worst thing any sequel can ever do: it retroactively taints the original and makes it less interesting."
