Halloween 2

Rob Zombie's take on Michael Myers was disappointing in his remake of Halloween; it's even worse in the followup H2. I hate that because Zombie really wants to make the fans happy, but his writing and directing skills are just too weak.
The "kill stuff" doesn't show a lot of imagination, but Zombie and actor Tyler Mayne capture the physical ferociousness of Michael. That's the best stuff in the film. After that, there's not much to brag on.
Zombie uses his wife Sherry in a key role, but unfortunately it's a stupid, ill-conceived part linked to a dumb ass white horse, which I suspect is Rob's family pony.
H2 takes place several years after the events of the first story. There are a lot of flashbacks to a Michael rampage at the hospital the night of the original film, but the main story is advanced several years. Laurie Strode is a psychological mess and Dr. Loomis is a sleaze bag trying to make a fast buck off the legend of Michael. Why Zombie "rethinks" Loomis along these lines is a mystery and Michael McDowell is terrible in the part.
He's not the only actor who struggles here, but the story is so bad that I'm not even going to worry about the acting.
A poor effort, despite the best intentions.
