Out of all the first sequels to a horror movie this is one of the better ones. This movie picks up directly from the first. the movie makes sense. Compared to the first halloween, this movie was a bit to gory. One of the reason's why was due to the competittion with Friday the 13th movies in the early 80's. Halloween 2 was still scary and since most of the movie took place in a hospital it made the movie very spooky. The movie had an exiting ending. Unfortunately This Halloween movie besides the original and H20 are the ones worth to watch as far as the series is concerned. This movie is something decent for non-horror fans. Diehard halloween fans will love it, however not as much as the original and this being a little better than H20.
