This isn't the worst horror movie sequel ever and I do appreciate the fact that they tried to change it up a little, this is still a pretty terrible movie that just fails to capture the feel of the first one. First off, they try way too hard to be funny. In the first one, the humor spoke for itself. They didn't to try and make it funny. It realized it was stupid and that's why it was good. Here, the attempts at comedy are painful and it all falls flat. Secondly, the acting is not very good. Granted they get better as the movie goes on, but in the first thirty minutes, every line of dialogue is delivered in this corny over the top way. It gets old real fast. Lastly, the filmmakers decided to introduce a sidekick to make up for the lack of Kevin Bacon. And they picked just about the most annoying sidekick they could find. Everything he does is stupid and annoying. The entire film I wanted him to eaten so I wouldn't have to endure his idiocy. Skip this sub-par sequel and go watch Halloween again. You'll have made the right decision.
