Title: Halloween II
Product review: Halloween II picks up exactly where Halloween left off. It starts with a recap of the originals ending. Survivor Laurie Strode is sent to the local hospital where she is put to sleep and remains drugged for what little time she is on the screen. The main part consists of Michael Myers killing various hospital employees and Dr. Loomis's search for him. This movie is necessary in order to understand future sequels. It reveals that Laurie is Michael's sister, though writer John Carpenter admits this point came to him late one night when he had a bad case of writer's block. Halloween II contains a lot more blood and gore and feels like a regular crazy guy kills people film. From what I know, the older Goodtimes dvd, which I bought for five dollars, contains much of the same as the new Universal twenty dollar dvd. The new disc contains a new anamorphic transfer (enhanced for widescreen TV's) and a theatrical trailer, which is not very good accorging to dvdreview.com.
