Whether or not Universal's DVD release of Halloween II is worth a purchase is entirely up to you.

It's a little sad to witness a fall from greatness, and that's what we get in HALLOWEEN II. John Carpenter's original 1978 HALLOWEEN was one of the most effective horror films ever made, a ...read the complete Halloween II movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
