What I like about this movie is that the arc involving Laurie, Dr. Loomis and Michael Myers comes to a conclusion. Of course there are a lot more sequels, but this one provides a good ending, at least one that John Carpenter thought it was appropriate. I don't think he originally planned the first film to have a sequel, but it was not disappointing what we got though.

Michael is chasing Laurie again and everyone who crosses his path goes see God earlier (or the other guy), we learn a bit more about Laurie's past and that's about it. Poor Laurie, she can't take a single break and has to fight for her life over and over again. Michael's mask is not the same from the first film, which bothers me a bit, the first mask is just perfect. Unfortunately, they never managed to recreate the mask from the original movie in any sequel.

There are some good shots, I enjoyed those where we are in the point-of-view of Myers while he stalks some victim and walks through the neighborhood. Rick Rosenthal did a very good job as a replacement for Carpenter. The opening scene is really good, the music complements it so well while we stare at the pumpkin and as the camera gets closer and closer it reveals a skull inside of it, pretty neat.

The soundtrack is just perfect, fits so well with the horror, suspense and plot created.

Michael is almost indestructible, he must be some monster by this time. I would have preferred if they hadn't transformed him into this undying creature that doesn't even get injured. Good movie nonetheless.
