The greatest moments of Halloween take their lead from its terrific opening: that legendary, lean musical score, and the film's tricky force of orientation.
Carpenter's fastidiously fashioned film doesn't squander a one second, the top dog of the slasher genre. Apart from the intentions demonstrated by the movie, Carpenter and his crew have also forged a visually rich and well-paced film that generated the model for all subsequent of the genre.

Without the head-spinning and maybe the flashes of the demon face, which, to be honest, are a little cheesy for me, this would be a full-marks movie.

Every aspect of this sequel could be put into a box marked 'Close, But No Cigar'. It's so nearly there, but it falls short, perhaps that's because of the feeling of 'been there, seen it, done it', and maybe that's unfair as it is a sequel, but there it is.

Still has enough charm and enough adventure, even if it has proven a little unsophisticated as time has passed.

One of those movies that doesn't pretend to be anything that it isn't. From the get-go, it promises rip-roaring action, and it delivers it in spades. That is not to say, however, that it doesn't have its problems. It can sometimes feel as if it's trying a little too hard to fit the archetype of action movie. Other than that, it's pretty solid, and you could do a lot worse than this if you're after a fun movie experience.
