Disgusting cash-in sequel which capitalized on the classic “Halloween” fright flick directed by John Carpenter.  Carpenter is not directing this time but producing, taking a writing credit and providing the music.  Still, Carpenter must take his share of credit for this turd.  The formula stays the same:  Asylum escapee Michael Myers is stalking fresh victims and Jamie Lee Curtis, more or less in that order.  Dr. Loomis, portrayed by Donald Pleasance, pursues Myers.  This time a face off takes place in a hospital where Curtis recovers from the assault she took from Myers in the previous flick.  Curtis is nothing more than a crawling, mute presence here.  Her character shambles around in a perpetual state of shock and then lurches around the hospital trying to find a hiding place from “the boogie man”, Myers.  It all feels rather empty like the hospital.  No characters are developed to care about.  The scumbag hospital attendants who spend a lot of their time cavorting in empty hospital beds and whirlpool tubs are dispatched in abundance.  Myers basically murders everyone in his path.  He utilizes a lot of hospital equipment to accomplish these deeds in “novel” ways.  We are given some small bits of revelatory information to add to the storyline/back story of Myers.  Myers is shot repeatedly but manages to get back on his feet with twice the murderous force as before the bullet bath.  I really stopped caring after awhile.  I’d seen it all before.
