    SPOILERS: Halloween II picks up exactly where the 1978 film leaves off and continues the story of Michael Myers's wrath. This film tries to mimic the same tone that made the first film so special but unfortunately, it fails at this attempt. Once again, this film takes a slow burn approach that comes off as more of a drag and you spend a considerable part of the film waiting for something to happen. Much of this film takes place in an extremely understaffed hospital, and all I want to say is that Michael Myers is far more scary when he is outside hiding in plain sight. It was not convincing to watch him maneuver this hospital like he does and believe that nobody sees him and they aren't able to get away from him. I give Halloween II (1981) a 5 out of 10.
