Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent sequel!!
Review: What I enjoyed the most about this movie is that it picked up right where the previous one left off: the same night! This is the first sequel I've seen that pickes up right where the previous one left off. The plot is pretty much the same with Michael Myers going after Laurie and killing anyone who gets in his way.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jamie Lee Curtis returns as "Laurie Strode".
Review: This review is for the VHS version.
Halloween (1978) ended with the most spine-chilling cliffhanger of any movie we have seen. Halloween II (1981) begins where the first film ended. It is still the same night and the horrifying terror continues for "Laurie Strode".
Jamie Lee Curtis continues her role as "Laurie Strode". Donald Pleasence returns as "Loomis". Charles Cyphers, Nancy Loomis, and Nancy Stephen as "Marion" return in their original roles.
Also in the cast: Jeffrey Kramer, Lance Guest, Leo Rossi, Pamela Susan Shoop, Hunter Von Leer, Gloria Gifford, Tawney Moyer, Ann Alicia, Cliff Emmich, John Zenda, Ford Rainey, Lucille Benson, Leigh French, Ty Mitchell, Bill Warlock, Jonathan Prince, Adam Gunn, Anne Bruner, Anne-Marie Martin and Dana Carvey. Tony Moran reappears as "Michael" from the first film and Dick Warlock plays "The Shape" this time around. Dick Warlock (Bill's father) also appears as "Patrolman #3".
For you "Laurie Strode" fans, Jamie Lee Curtis returned as "Laurie" a third time, 17 years later in HALLOWEEN H2O: 20 Years Later (1998) and a fourth time, briefly, in HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION (2002).
More "Halloween" sequels:
Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1983)
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)
Halloween 5 (1989)
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)
Halloween H2O: 20 Years Later (1998)
Halloween: Resurrection (2002)
Halloween 9 will be released October 31, 2005.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Scary, but not as good as the first
Review: First off, I DID like the movie, but the viewer is asked to suspend belief one too many times....mainly, that a hospital is SO dimly lit (even the halls are dark), and there are so few nurses. In one scene, Michael Myers is in a nursery full of babies and NO ONE IS WATCHING THEM. This large hospital is pretty poorly staffed! Two, Jamie Lee Curtis' parents can't be reached ALL NIGHT LONG? Wow, didn't they leave a number? A nurse and EMT find plenty of time to sneak off into a hot tub. There is only the one doctor and he vanishes. NAH........not as good or suspenseful as the first. But maybe that was an impossible task.
