Critics' reviews

"Despite the limitations inherent in the genre, it actually delivers"

Joe Neumaier: New York Daily News
"Freed from the original Halloween template, Zombie is aiming for something hallucinatory, almost abstract (...) But the picture runs out of ideas about halfway through, and what’s left is splatter in a void."

David Edelstein: Vulture
"'Halloween II' provides ample spotlights for Zombie’s visual gifts, but we saw most of this last time around, and a lot of promising material leads to dead ends"

Keith Phipps: AV Club
"As with his 2007 effort, director-screenwriter Rob Zombie's approach is far grittier than in the original series."

Frank Scheck: The Hollywood Reporter
"This movie isn't horrible, but it seems like a waste for Zombie to keep revisiting someone else's world."

Peter Hartlaub: SFGATE
"'Halloween II' is full of in jokes and references but nearly devoid of wit."

Mike Hale: The New York Times
"Repellent not only in content but in visual style"

Rob Nelson: Variety
"Halloween II is an affront to Halloween and horror fans. It's the kind of cataclysmic misstep from which a franchise cannot recover (...) Rating: ½ (out of 4)"

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
