  SPOILERS: With Halloween II (2009) Rob Zombie returns with a film that is a huge departure from what made his 2007 film so enjoyable. While I do enjoy this one, I have multiple issues with it. First is the gore factor. I mentioned in his first film how Zombie's use of blood and gore was a bit high for my taste, well, this film takes it to an even greater and unnecessary level. Second, what was with the unicorn and the ghost of Michael's mother? I felt this addition was pointless and took away from how real of an individual Michael was in Zombie's first film. I am pretty confident Michael's mother was written into the story, just because Zombie wanted his wife, Sheri Moon Zombie, in the film Third, I was very disappointed with the direction they took Dr. Loomis' character, and he almost came across as an entirely different personality. Lastly, I wanted to mention that I was let down by how much of a humanless killing machine Michael was in this film. He kills countless random people with little purpose for the killings. While I was not a huge fan of Michael's character, I did find his look was improved significantly. I enjoyed seeing him without his mask on and how they utilized the hoodie and beard to give him a new look. I also really enjoyed the end cabin scene. It was incredibly intense and had a very real tone to it which was lacking in most of the film. I give Halloween II (2009) a 6 out of 10.
