Halloween 2 (2009)

 Halloween 2 is the latest Halloween movie and also one of the best. Its one of the most brutal movies you'll see and at some point you will be shocked. The movie is mainly about Michael Myers trying to find his sister and reuniting the family and how Laurie, Dr. Loomis, Annie, and Sheriff Brackett handle the tragedy of Michaels previous murders in the last movie. I feel that some of the screen time should've been more devoted to more character and story development. Sure the kills were very well done but some of them were just in there to be in there.
 Rob Zombies characters are often referred to as white trash and that they are. Its not a problem though because his characters aren't seen very much in movies really ever. Its interesting to see how Laurie and everyone else has changed since the last movie. Only if there was more of that and less of the constant killing scenes.    

 The style of the movie is very unique and the tone is much darker than the last. It really does make "Halloween" (2007) look like "The Sound of Music". Its nice to see a sequel feel so much different and not be a rehash of its predecessor.

A lot of people don't like the dream sequences and hallucinations in this movie but I think there very fun to look at and also very well done. There not unnecessary either they give Michael depth and keep him from being a one dimensional character unlike he was in the previous franchise. Some people say that the more mystery the more scary Michael was and even if that is true this is a new take and its not the original series which I think is a good thing.

So while this was a slight disappointment its a nice and unique departure for the series with an ending that is really satisfying.
