Movie review
Well the next movies does a good job taking off from first movie with Michael Myers still out there killing and hunt is on for him as he Continue his killing rampage he does In first 5 mins whole they are looking Laurie who is traumatized from first movie ending is rushed to hospital bad move because you know who will find her again and he does find her in the hospital and now no is safe there at all there whole this movie pick up some on killings but still can of lack of story some but it was not as bad as first movie still can of slow some in this one he goes to hospital and well kills from room to room looking for Laurie can of sucks for her she just can’t get a break from this killer as she again battle Michael I was still hope Dr loomis and cops will show up and help her out also in this one we find out true meaning on why he after Laurie and right it is his sister had a feeling it was Movie was still can of from start to end was indeed better then first one love the intro as well of this movie pretty much was creepy.

Scary or not
Few scary spots in this kills was scary some in this higher kill count as well in this one so Michael was a little more scary in this one.

Acting
Jamie Lee Curtis once again was main lead of this movie and she is one of favorite Actress of all time by the way love her movies she sure was young in one that for she but do like her acting in this one as well.

Need more info on story
Yes would of like more to story we did find out the big key part of movie was that he was after another sister of his he trying to kill why unsure what drive him nuts well bad


Closing thoughts
Not as bad as first one but Michael still was slow but badass some in this one let see if I will like number four or not why skip 3 because I Review it years ago and it had nothing to do with micheal at all so we skip 3 and go to number 4 which will be for day 8th see you for that one.

Movie Review
This is the movie that got this Horror movies started pretty much shows us how mask killer Michael Myers started his killing as well at young age he went insane and later Escaped a metal house and went back to small town for killing they build up good on who he will kill next This is a good move to keep us on edge of are seat everywhere you go he look around or driving all over the place but one problem with this movie they didn’t give us much why he killing and why he superhuman we get how this all started but would of like to know how he came more tough and true killer and why he wear a mask they didn’t Answer them question much which made the movie can of boring but movie did pick up when he started to kill which was 55 mins into movie guess he seem to go after teens yeah we see that before fast forward to 1980 with Jason movies also we see Michael kill his sister in the first moments of movie and now he after his other sister A Dr who try to help micheal for years but let him out too early now he try to warn everybody that he out and ready to kill anyone from start to end this movie was ok not best Halloween movie to start the series of many to come the ending pretty much give you a clue that more to come with heavy breathing sort of know that was coming.

What lack in this one
Well we need more Character info in this one which lack on giving us also it was can of slow but somehow this movie took off maybe I have to watch it a few times to see if I think it top movie.

Scary or not
Sort of scary but not scary not a whole lot of kill counts that creepy music tone did scare me a little but in the end was total scary.

Final thoughts
Do have to say Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie did great job for acting she was main lead in this along with Micheal the killer was 2 main leads.

Final thoughts
Well thought it was ok just a little bit slow but ending was little better it open the door to the next movie Halloween 2 which will Tomorrow’s movie review so stay turned to see if I think Halloween 2 is great or not.

Halloween (1978)
6/10 for ok

Bloody and gory
Was indeed a bloody gory one with lots of kill in this which is a way horror movie should be.

Most scary moment of movie
There is a lot of crazy and scary moments of the movie but car wash scene is Fantastic for a horror but also a crazy way to die as well ouch so indeed lots of great scary moments in this one as well.

Acting
Have to say Timothy Olyphant pretty much shine in this one he was the lead of movie and did great as for other acting it was good nice Danielle panabaker In this one as well not a huge part though so acting was not bad in this one.

Final thoughts
The Crazies (2010) is a remake of 1973 movie which I have not see yet hope to soon down the line that it for day movie review we still got a long way to go so see you Tomorrow for another scary or not movie review.

Cast
Linda Blair as Regan MacNeil
Richard Burton as Father Phillp Lamont
Louise Fletcher as Dr. Gene Tuskin

Movie Review
After scary me in the first movie can the second movie scare me as well sort of but this was a hard movie to follow for plot the movie opens with a women sitting herself on fire guess she was  possessed by demon so I figure is this going to be plot well sort of  priest investigates the death of girl exorcist though the movie whole the other forces on Regan still battle the Demon from the first movie who is lurks within her dreams the way it looks  think how that story  goes this was not best the one out series though but it was still scary some with some scenes of the movie but there was not as scary from the first movie to scare me a whole but do say the movie had great effects again from start to the end this was ok movie but must say the ending battle was odd though.


scary or not
was not as scary as first one it more of a my mystery and suspense but dreams are scary with giant bug in dreams but was it real you will find out all in the ending but dreams was pretty scary in my view


Great Acting
Linda  Blair outshine in this one she was  very good as an actress as for other acting was silly but not best though.


Final thoughts did Part 2 outshine Part 1
heck no but do say for trying to take off from First one took a weird turn with plot which has a lot of holes in this one but otherwise it was still scary some though and if you see the first one worth checking out to see if you like it or not.

The Exorcist II The Heretic (1977) rating
5.0 out of 10 for ok

Movie review
After see the very first movie that was pretty scary figure I check out number 2 and see if they can make it scary again have to say yes and this one top the first in my view it leaves off from first movie where ash is still stuck in hell house battle dead but this time he turns into one of the them and now they want him to join but ash human form is still there battle whole sometimes he turns into them which is odd twist but cool as well but while he doing that new people come to cabin as girl looking for her parents so now he must found a way to keep them safe and also not  turn into that thing that could kill them pretty much  like this one from start to end even though the ending was cliff hanger for next movie it was still good Sam raimi did one heck of a job on making this one yet again scary.

Scary or not
Very scary and gory as well just like the first one from start to end it was scary more blood as well scary parts were dead  lady  dancing and when ash turn into dead monsters and pretty much all of dead was scary good makeup and good effects as well enough here to knock your socks off scary level is indeed high for this one.

Hints that lead to next movie
Watch for hints during the movie that leads to next movie also the ending as well thought they did a great job and drop hints.


Final thoughts
Just the way a  sequel to movie should be set up great plot and still great acting from Bruce Campbell he once again nail it as ash and also great scary makeup and effects from the dead they indeed scare me some with this both Evil dead 1 and 2 are the best I see for 80's horror no doubt gets my vote for best horror of all time with all blood and gore not too many horror movies today are as good as evil dead series movies now for 3nd movie plan on watching it soon and review it maybe next year possible anyway watch evil dead 2 if your once again looking for a movie to knock your socks off because it did my that for sure.



Evil dead 2: dead by dawn (1987) rating
9.0 out of 10 for great scary fun,
