i be not quite sure what to say or think about this movie . it be definitely not the bad in the series ( there still halloween 3 ) . the style be just very different and it focus on other element than it predecessor do . it try to explain why michael myers freak out on halloween and start butcher around . well and all that stuff about michael myers be curse and the evil cult be a rather nice effort and but i do not buy it . none of the other installment in the series try to come up with any fancy explanation . the movie contain lot of gore . actually it plain carnage . if you haven not see the other halloween film you will probably like this one for it blood content . but for a real halloween freak this sequel might be just too different to be see a a good one . suspense be turn into terror and carnage ( explode head . and you get the point ) . the end ( theatrical cut ) be simply awful . michael get stab with a needle and then beat up with a pipe and then stab again and this time with more needle and then beat up a little more until there slime run out of his head ( where do this green stuff come from anyway . ) . basically it nothing more than trash worth 5 million $ . there be one good thing though represent michael mask . dedicate to donald pleasance and quite a disgrace . my rating represent 4/10 .
