movie backdrop

The titular Halloween Jack's motivation may've gotten away from him a bit in the first film, but in this one, he just straight up doesn't have one. The first two places Jack Cain strikes are the home of the man responsible for banning Halloween, followed by the house where the only Halloween party in town is taking place. As an aside, at said party, when Halloween Jack comes in and starts boldfaced killing everybody out in the open, about twenty kids start running back and forth in front of the camera about a foot away from the murderer, while another half a dozen sort off look at him apathetically and wait for their turn to die. It is genuinely one of the stupidest scenes I've ever seen in a movie. And I watch a lot of crappy horror movies. What I'm saying is guys, these movies are bad. I get the impulse - it's Halloween, and these are horror movies that literally have "Halloween" in the title, but I'd rather another go around on every single one of the terrible Michael Myers sequels that came out than ever revisit either one of the Halloween Jack movies.

Final rating:★ - Of no value. Avoid at all costs.
