I don't know whether to be more apprehensive of a movie which exists only to carve people up, or the audience for which it was made.

When it's good, it's because it's imitating its predecessor and when it's bad, it's because it's imitating its own imitator.

"Halloween II" as a reprise, simply piles up a greater number of corpses.

What's memorable about Halloween II is the eerie sense of watching moviemakers trapped by their own devices.
