(1 - 26) of 26 OFCS Rating: 27% Rotten Page   1   1.5/4 "The names Myers, Strode, and Loomis are there, but you can never bring yourself to care; the characters have been too diluted to stand for anything anymore."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   A. J. Hakari 2.5/5 "either a work of jaw-dropping, unhinged genius, or the most moronic horror film since Ernest Scared Stupid"   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron 0/10 "When Zombie kills a cow with an ambulance in the opening scene the cow dies quietly and doesn't then have to sit through the rest of the movie. And they say he shows no mercy!"   CampBlood.org   Brian Juergens B- "A demented, uninhibited sequel that tears off in a vividly lunatic direction. Zombie's making this one for himself, folks, and either you succumb to the experience or every single scene is going to feel like multiplex imprisonment."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf F "It's as if the studio (Dimension) let some testosterone-boiling 15-year-old boy with a case of Red Bull in his belly make a slapdash gore fest where a woman in white with a white horse is meant to represent the psychological underpinning of a mute killer"   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey C- "Panders to the base seekers of cheap thrills."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3/4 "Almost shocking how skillfully anchored it is, Halloween II is confidently and assuredly its own beast, and what a beast it is."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman F "Putrid...fails to be remotely frightening and just settles for being utterly repulsive instead."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek C- "Myers is Operation Enduring Iraqi Freedom incarnate..."   Cinepinion   Henry Stewart 0.5/4 "This one represents Rob Zombie's "vision." That being the case, he's blind."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 1/5 "Ultra-gory sequel/remake is brutally violent, badly made."   Common Sense Media   James Rocchi "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 4/5 "click for full review"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 3/5 "Zombie remains committed to showing how violence lingers with, and perverts, all who are touched by it, yet his carnivalesque approach often undercuts his very real empathy."   Time Out New York   Keith Uhlich 1.0/4.0 "... the only point to Rob Zombie's unfocused and oft-times boring sequel appears to be in making (his previous) remake look like genius in comparison."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 1/4 "Moments that add up to a bit more than incoherence ... and an overall sense that Zombie has a clear idea of what he's trying to say but is without the skill to say it."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 1/4 "After the success of his original, director Rob Zombie warned fans that he had no intention of making a cheesy sequel. Oh, how I wish he'd stayed true to that promise."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 2/4 "Without a new path for its central trio, Halloween II merely rehashes in quick, distracted swipes."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager "A repellent and incompetent monstrosity that should put to rest for good the weirdly persistent rumor that Rob Zombie has even a shred of talent as a filmmaker."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 4/5 "There are bits and images in this film that would ensure praise from the horror-fan crowd if they weren't in a Halloween movie directed by Rob Zombie."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves B- "This film might be the most artfully rendered slasher sequel ever made. Alas, Zombie's dark poetry only goes so far without more substantive justification."   Projection Booth   Rob Humanick F "Blood and guts are fine, and nihilism can be quite powerful in the right hands. But Halloween II uses them to cover up an utterly blighted experience."   Mania.com   Rob Vaux 1/5 "There's not a pained expression, a confused sneer or a filthy grimace that Zombie won't linger on for 10 seconds longer than he needs to."   FEARnet   Scott Weinberg 4/10 "Moments here and there are extremely well-made, but on the whole the movie seems to consist of nothing but a whole lot of disjointed, underlit scenes of a big dude stabbing people."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 4/5 "A strange, demented vision of Haddonfield that's unlike any of the other Halloween films. To many, this will be a bad thing...I thought it was great."   DVDTalk.com   Tyler Foster 1.5/4 "Pushing the Halloween series further from its roots, Rob Zombie's first sequel to his remake of the popular John Carpenter slasher, is a muddied mix of symbolism and excessive violence."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell  (1 - 26) of 26 OFCS Rating: 27% Rotten Page   1
