Hallonween II (1981)

The original sequel to Halloween starts right where the first one left off.   Michael Myers is still alive and still hunting down poor Jamie Lee Curtis who's on the way to the hospital.   The film is more like your typical slasher flick with the death toll higher and some of the scenes being lamer (like the nudity shot of the nurse in the hot tub).  What makes it a good part two is John Carpenter and Debra Hill's brilliant twist toward the end that makes it all worthwhile.  Rich Rosenthal directs and while he does a decent job I can't help but wonder how John Carpenter would have handled the film, considering he is one of my favorites.  Grade: B+
