Michael is the terminator and Laurie is Sarah Conner only this story takes place on Halloween. That's pretty much what this film is. He just walks around kills people then battles Laurie in her house that she has spent 40 years rigging with traps. The end.
Not scary. No atmosphere or creepiness that the 1978 film had. Why not make a Halloween film where the characters don't even know who Michael Myers is. That's one thing that made the original so interesting. They didn't know who this guy was. He was almost like a ghost. I say make a film like that. Dark and scary similar to The Strangers only with Michael Myers. No Haddonfield. No Laurie Strode or anyone related to her. A new storyline with new characters.
As for this film it may have been better if they started the film showing how they captured Michael Myers. Did they just show up and arrest him? Or maybe have Laurie go see Michael. Anything but having those annoying English reporters there and one yelling at him. It was a bit absurd. Jamie Lee Curtis was okay in the film but I didn't have the same simpathy for her character in this film as I did in the original. The only character I kind of liked in this film was the sheriff. The whole deal with the new doctor didn't make any sense at all by the way.
The film is a step up from part 5, 6, and resurrection but that's about it. I have to say that the real Halloween 2 was better even though that's the film where they started to make Michael a walking killing machine. At least they did get rid of the brother/sister deal.
