    It takes two viewings (at least it did for me). First time, I didn't much care for this movie (although I found the first one intriguing. Zombie explained in great detail he came from an extreamly screwed up family), but watching again and lowering my standings (again, I had very high standards from the first movie), I found this one very entertaining as well. The gore will turn some people off, but its a good story. I see a lot of reviews where they don't understand the whole "mother/son" thing, but Zombie explains that very early on in the movie. If you enjoyed the first one, give this one a try. If not, don't waste your time...it's not for you. Expand

    This movie was badass, what's wrong with you people. i am a fan of the original "halloween", i will admit the remake of the first "halloween" by rob zombie was COMPLETELY HORRIBLE. it was the worst remake ever, but rob zombie's halloween 2 was simply amazing, finally brutal killings, with more gore. i love horror movies, but they never make me jump. hands down this movie made me jump! this movie is the shit! simple as that.

    Movie was great! Did a great job with Laurie's character! Wasn't so much one of those horror movies that makes you jump but it definitely makes you cringe!

    The only reason I am giving this movie a 9 instead of a 10 is because I'm looking at it through the Halloween fan's eyes, not a Rob Zombie fan's. There is a LOT of visual effects that might not appeal to the typical horror movie fan, but Zombie lovers will appreciate it.

    Some of the atmospheric visuals in this movie are amazing. Random shots of the moon shining behind tangled tree branches are gorgeous even when the rest of the film is shot in a style intended to make it look grainy and muddy. Old-school fans should know that Michael is completely reinvented in this one: Eating dogs, stabbing each person wayyy more times than are necessary, and grunting his way through each killing. But if you accept the fact that it's meant to be A)different than the originals, and B)different than the 2007 remake, then you won't really be too shocked when you realize half the film is dream sequences. One more thing: If you're confused after it's over, research "Folie a Deux." No, not the Fall Out Boy album. That oughta clear some things up. Expand

    I am not at all a fan of Zombies directorial take on this iconic charecter and story. However, he sets out to do what all directors fail to do when doing a remake. Remakes are a reimagination of a classic storyline. We as audience members hate the idea of remakes because ultimatly it turns to be corny because they bite off of past films using iconic quotes etc. What Zombie does is he changes the format here, he pushes the envelope and creates a whole new list of stakes for all the charecters and his reimagination completly takes over, this agravates a lot of people. Zombie's aartistry in regards to brining gore back to the screen is rather refreshing and orginal... again i do not like his vision of this story and charecters but he pushes buttons and gets people talking and well isnt that what theater and film is all about ... leaving the space talking? Kudos to Zombie for a job well done ... very original and cutting edge! Expand

    I enjoyed this film more than the first, the first half of the first was brilliant, but the second half was rushed and took away from the film. This one maintains the story well throughout and makes for a great watch.
