If you like ANYTHING Rob has done (music, movies, art,) then you will like this movie. However, if you want something Epic and cutting edge, well............fuck off and go home.
H2 appeals to the side of you that craves violence and unrest. I watched this movie Twice and left both times grinning ear to ear hearing people complain "what was that?" "OMG that was just too much", "fucking lame man", "DUDE LETS SMOKE A BOWL", "what was with the White Horse?!?!", and so on. These were real comments from movie goers.
I felt the movie was everything one can expect from Rob, but also felt that as a whole most movie goers have become too snotty for their own good. It's these uptight pricks that ruin movies for everybody else. Have you ever been dying to see a movie, and then have some nitwit walk by you and yell out "THIS MOVIE SUCKS"? Well if you have, those folks hated it, but people like me, and you the reader, will really dig this flick............Our story takes place 1 year later. Lori (Taylor-Compton) is an emotional wreck who now resides with Sheriff Brackett and his Daughter Annie (Douriff,Harris) who also survived Michael's wrath, and has some nasty nightmares. As expected Michael returns in a violent and Bloody fashion, displaying a much more nastier side of MM that we have ever seen before. The film at times takes a break and shows MM mom Deborah Myers (Moon Zombie) in spirit form talking to Michael. This new twist is what I think throws people off. Anytime you put Psychosis into a movie and try not to be too cheesy, people laugh it off, or complain about it. For H2, it seemed that most of the folks didn't understand what was going on, but maybe if "they" could stop fucking texting, talking, or running around the theater, then maybe "they" would understand what was fucking going on..........So as Micheal walks back to Haddonfield, killing people along the way Dr. Loomis happens to be in town pushing his new book "The Devil Walks Among Us". Throughout the movie Loomis (McDowell) comes of as an English Snarky Prick (which he has become) cashing in on the fame while trying to seem empathetic to the families involved. I really like how Malcolm McDowell turned Dr. Loomis into a total asshole who deserves to die. There is on scene where Dr. Loomis runs into a nasty situation and yells to Sheriff Brackett "let me do this!! I owe you that" Considering what kind off hell Loomis caused everybody, it seemed fitting. Gone is the original panic and pain to the original Loomis, make way for a more real typical nowadays shrink........... As you can guess, lots of blood and nasty gore takes place, but there was something a little more uneasy. That would be Michael Myers. In case none of you read Rob Z's interview about H2, Rob stated that this was not a remake of Halloween 2, but something totally different. With Michael Myers he nailed it. MM is now more menacing than before, much, much, MUCH, more violent with the kills. Watching MM stab with such force and hatred made me uneasy. Also we hear MM grunt and groan when he kills or destroys walls or windows. I was hated these movies where the killer never made a sound when he killed or, broke shit. Not here though. It adds a certain feel that I can't explain. it was very violent, but yet almost human like. The biggest thing about Michael was his size. You really didn't see much of it in the first one, other than the Mental Institute. Here though, we See Tyler Mane Looming over everybody and destroying people at will like a man of his size would do............Look guys I could go on and on about this movie so let me just say this, If you want a Good movie with lots of violence, and disturbing Images, then go see this...
Overall Rating ( * * * * )
