More disturbing than scary, more uncomfortable than suspenseful, Rob Zombie’s uneven follow-up to his 'Halloween' reboot won’t win over those who aren’t fans of its 2007 predecessor.
WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
A year has passed since Michael Myers escaped from Smith’s Grove Sanitarium and embarked on a murderous rampage through the town of Haddonfield on Halloween night. With the anniversary of the tragedy approaching, survivor Laurie Strode, still traumatized after her climactic encounter with Michael, is plagued by nightmares that seem to foreshadow his deadly return.
Laurie’s therapist and friends dismiss her anxiety as the inevitable by-product of the trauma she experienced, insisting that Michael is dead while ignoring the unpleasant reality that his body was never found. And wouldn’t you know it – the crazy chick is on to something. Far from deceased, Michael’s been lying low in the days since Laurie put an end to his grisly escapade, quietly convalescing in the place where most folks suffering from multiple gunshot wounds go to recover: a dirty wood shack in the middle of a sparsely-populated rural area.
Not that he’s been alone. Bathed in angelic white garments and accompanied by a similarly alabaster horse (its significance is explained in the opening credits), Michael’s mother Deborah has been paying regular visits to her son from beyond the grave, appearing in visions to provide guidance to her deranged offspring. According to his nutty imaginary mum, Michael’s tortured psyche will never be at peace until he’s reunited with his baby sister Laurie. And so Michael returns to Haddonfield for a second attempt at a family reunion, slicing to ribbons anyone stupid enough to cross his path.
