Hi,
I watched Halloween ll the other evening, I had not seen it for many years, I remember seeing it when it originally was released, at the time I thought it was good, but the other night I felt a little let down, Michael Myers did not seem as threatening or as frightening as I first thought, way back in 1982, prior to that I watched "Visiting Hours" a 1980 movie featuring Michael Ironside as a Psychopathic murderer, the premise of the film was very similar to Halloween ll, both predominantly set in a hospital, where patients and staff were at the mercy of each of the crazed killers, the plot lines were very flimsy, and I wondered how did they achieve critical acclaim, as films go, they were not well made, as horror stories, they held up in the sense they maintained the legend of the slasher movie.
