      Sam Loomis: You don't know what death is!

    This Was The Best Way To Continue The Story!! More Brutality!!!

    For a sequel it was good. I liked how they continued the story, and that big revelation made was truly unpredictable I had never thought about it before. There's more brutality in this than the previous one. In some parts it's tedious but to be honest with you it was worth watching it. Recommended if you want to know the big revelation about Laurie and Michael Myers.

    7/10 Thank You For Reading.

    Enjoy.
