Brief Movie Synopsis [courtesy of Shout! Factory]:

Picking up exactly where the first film left off,
Halloween II follows the same ill-fated
characters as they once again encounter
the knife-wielding maniac they thought
had been left for dead.

REVIEWS:

"Halloween II is good enough to deserve a sequel of its own. By the standards of most recent horror films, this—like its predecessor—is a class act. There's some variety to the crimes, as there is to the characters, and an audience is likely to
do more screaming at suspenseful moments than at scary ones. The gore, while very explicit and gruesome, won't make you feel as if you're watching major surgery. The direction and camera work are quite competent, and the actors don't look like amateurs. That may not sound like much to ask of a horror film, but it's more than many of them offer. And 'Halloween II', in addition to all
this, has a quick pace and something like a sense of style."
