Halloween II

Written by Chris Beaumunt, Halloween II is one of the best, if not the best horror movies to ever hit the movie theatre. It is about a killer named Michael Myers who kills to get what and who he wants. Of the reasons I think this is the best is because: it has reasons for what charters are doing; it has great graphics; and also it has a moral or theme, something most movies do not have.

Previous Halloween movies always seemed to start from a really random place that has no relation to the ending of the last movie. Chris Beaumunt takes viewers twenty years back to the beginning to show viewers how everything got to the point when the movie starts. For example; before I saw the movie I thought Michael Myers killed his mother, but really his sister killed their mother.

Halloween has had many movies that all have been pretty good with the exception of a few things that Michael Myers had the ability to do—for example when Michael Myers was trying to kill someone they would be running full speed for periods of time and Michael would be walking and he would just pop in front of them. This really made the movie unbelievable and hard to relate it to a real life situation. Halloween II has many scenes and situations that are all believable – the fact that everything that Michael Myers does can be done in real life is what made it really good.

Graphics in this movie are great. Viewers can see everything just as it is. Blood looks real and the injuries are realistic, unlike the other Halloween movies. For example, in the old Halloween, Michael Myers and this black guy were fighting on the roof, and Michael Myers hit the victim’s head right off his shoulders—now how many people can hit heads off of people’s shoulders. Now Halloween II has a scene where Michael Myers stomped a trash talking individual in the face. Viewers could see all the cuts and bruises caused from the stomp out.

A theme is what a lot of movies lack. Michael Myers was not killing for any reason; he was killing to get to his sister Angel Myers. He wasn’t trying to kill her, rather he was looking for her to let her know who she was. She was in an adopted family, and she did not know her family because she killed her mom when she was a child .They blamed it on her brother, Michael since he was already killing people. Michael Myers was getting to old so it was time to let Angel take it place in killing.

Having a moral, meaning and a strategy are all of the main factors of having a great movie. Chris Beaumont put all of these factors in this movie, therefore Halloween is one of the best movies to hit the movie theater. Having real life experiences that enable the audience to put themselves in Michael Myers’ place allows them to think and have a good guess about what he is going to do next. For example, a clip from the movie was behind a strip club where Michael beat up the bouncer and walked in and killed the workers. People can do this in real like because he did not have any powers, and he wasn’t doing anything outrageously complex.

Several horror movies do not really stand up to Halloween II in many ways. Other movies lack morals and meaning like Pulse. Pulse is based on a computer virus but it have no real meaning; like a virus kills a lot of people but it doesn’t tell the watchers why. Halloween II has everything that horror movies need to be on top. Suspense, moral, actuality, and graphics are the biggies that all good horror movies have.
