Halloween II

Great movie worth the watch

So my review is only for this blu ray vs the standard good times DVD of this. I had this on VHS only to update to DVD when it came out then when Blu Ray came out I refused, I said no way, I'm tired of buying the same thing over again. I gave it some years until now they started releasing it again on the 4k ultra. Now at this point the price has significantly came down enough for me to go to Blu Ray, I know I'm a stage behind the times and just now going into Blu Ray's when the world is going 4k ultra. Now on to the comparison its night and day. The good times DVD looked good on a regular smaller TV, then you put it on a larger screen and that's where it breaks down to horrible quality pixelated images and even then still wont "fill" out the screen. Now I put this disc in and not only is the entire width of the screen filled out now but almost crystal clear in 90% of the movie. I know there is only so much they can do with a movie from 1981 and whatever the budget allowed at the time but the difference from DVD to this Blu Ray is astounding!. I'm going to hold off on the 4k ultra until they come down in price and get any kinks worked out that 4k ultraman have, a primary example is Friday the 13th 1980 looking worse on 4k ultra than regular Blu Ray, so there you have it, if you want to upgrade picture over the dvd without going to the 4k ultra yet this is the disc for you, it's also loaded with extras that the good times DVD version didn't have. One important thing I must add as to the actual movie itself, it's not a bad sequel at all, it picks right up where the first one left off and although isn't as good as the first one (I dont think anything is) its actually a decent sequel and has that early 80s feel to it when you see things like a kid walking with a giant boom box, glass coke bottles, stuff like that and at the same time this blu ray just pops on the picture quality and color and sound. I would highly recommend this.

This Halloween movie was in fact the first one that I ever saw. As a kid I enjoyed this movie for a great scare or two but not having seen the first before it, I didn't totally know what was going on in the movie. That didn't ruin the fun of watching it, however.They truly upped their game with this sequel. What one first notes is that even though this movie was made 3 years after the first(1981), it in fact continues to take place in 1978 to pick up where the first movie left off including a bit of flashbacks of the first Halloween to both refresh one's memory but also to get themselves ready for what is to come next.More about how they upped their game was, the gore and great kills were more emphasized plus more sex and nudity, a bit of camp, plus a much greater example of what Michael Myers is totally capable of.First of all, the hospital setting proved a perfect setting as it raised the suspense in terms of where and how Michael was hiding, where he would pounce next, and what readily available tools he would be using to his advantage on his victims. Michael's intensity and how terrifying a presence he is is intensified a whole lot this time whatwith his no nonsense way of killing his victims grows even stronger.Jamie Lee Curtis not only puts in twice the strong performance as Laurie Strode in this sequel, but she continues to look gorgeous and sexy along with several other actresses in this that give way to some satisfying Halloween eye-candy.Donald Pleasance also upped his game in his return performance as Dr. Sam Loomis. His intense desire to stop Michael at any cost plus stress and fear that he faces while doing all he can to just keep his focus while putting himself before others, makes for one great Ahab to root for.The cinematography is still gorgeous and shows a feeling of dread as well in the outside shots that we get of the neighborhood in Haddonfield. One of the best parts of the horror is amidst all of the beautiful shots of the hospital is how a seemingly safe and friendly environment comes a total sense of fear and lack of security.The script was brilliantly written with very few awkward lines plus some very talented actors to fuel it.The nudity isn't alot but it's still great nudity.My 2 most fave kills in the movie are: Michael forcing the sexy nurse's head into the hottub water after Michael turns up the heat and even if it was off camera, I enjoyed the creativity and genius of head nurse Mrs. Alves having her blood drained out of her body by Michael.The soundtrack is even better this time with the basic theme song and all of the creepy and weird tunes that make it more scary.Overall, when it comes to the first Halloween(1978) and this one, you simply can't go wrong with the gore, creative kills, beautiful cinematography, sensational score, sex and nudity, strong performances from the actors, Michael being very clever in how he handles his victims, great eye-candy, intensity of the actor playing Michael, the creepy and weird music, and best of all this picks up exactly where the last Halloween left off with flashbacks. One great 80's slasher that is not to be missed. 10 stars out of 10!!!
