1981 ***1/2 92 mins.
This is an acceptable sequel to the classic Halloween. It's as good of a sequel we'll get out of it, anyway. This film picks up exactly where the first film left off and shows more of Michael Myers's attempt to wreak havoc on the town of Haddonfield. This film actually gives Michael a motive as to why he came back. It's not that bad of a motive, but the beauty of the first film is that there isn't much of a motive. Oh, well. This is still a respectable sequel.
Rated R for gore, violence, nudity, language, and sexual content.
