Rob Zombie did a good job on the first movie, but he's already gone too far on this one. What I like about this movie is all the violence and rawness and the personality that Michael has by giving him a more human side. The rest of the movie is kind of heavy, I mean the vibe is very heavy metal, if you will. The vision sequences are good, but they make this movie look like a music video aesthetically. At the beginning of the movie everything is fine because it looks like Halloween II from the 80s, but the rest was already going in another direction. What didn't convince me about this movie either is the new personality of Laurie (who, being so traumatized, looks like she's become a drug and alcohol user) and Loomis (who instead of caring as much about Michael's crimes as the original movies, here he is a vain man). The movie is not bad, but not good either. I would say that it is rather regular. I can't speak too badly of it because all the hellish violence and terror it has makes it easy to digest and for that I give it a 7/10.
