I like โHalloween IIโ, but Iโm not a fan of how the extremely slow pace. Every time I watch this film, I get bored very easily after the Dr. Loomis scene with the neighbor; โYou Donโt Know What Death Is!โ and the opening credit sequence. I still enjoy this film because of nostalgia, but if Iโm in the mood for some fun of this movie ; Iโll watch certain clips of โHalloween IIโ like the kill scenes and when Laurie is being chased my Michael Myers in the third act, Iโll just watch it on YouTube. This film has a slow pace and everything felt repetitive. Itโs like Carpenter copy and paste a lot from his classic โHalloweenโ to make this work. I used to be a fan of the brother\sister arc that was introduced in this, when I was kid because in my mind that meant that they can make countless sequels with that element. But looking at that element as an adult, I can see why it was mistake. Ever since the brother\sister arc has been introduce in this film each sequel that followed became more convoluted and watered down because of this. This film succeeds at maintaining the atmosphere and cinematography of the first movie. I like watching this film because of nostalgia, but now that Iโm older I see a lot issues with this film. This film is not that bad, but itโs certainly not that great either.
