here a summary about the movie:

It's that time of year again, and Michael Myers has returned home to sleepy Haddonfield, Illinois to take care of some unfinished family business. Unleashing a trail of terror that only horror master Rob Zombie can, Myers will stop at nothing to bring closure to the secrets of his twisted past. But the town's got an unlikely new hero, if they can only stay alive long enough to stop the unstoppable.

MOVIE REVIEW:

It has been one year since Laurie Strode is thought to have killed masked serial killer Michael Myers, shooting him squarely in the head during a fight to the death. His body was never recovered, however, and as the witching holiday once again approaches, Laurie is besieged with bad dreams and an overwhelming sense that danger could be eminent. Sheriff Brackett and a now-reclusive Annie try to provide comforting shoulders—they have taken her in since the murders of her parents—but they are ill-equipped to handle the bombshell that comes with the release of psychologist Dr. Samuel Loomis' (Malcolm McDowell) new book about the Haddonfield massacre. Laurie's shocked discovery that she is really Angel Myers, biological sister to Michael, coincides with her evil brother's return to his old stomping ground. After all that has happened and is now known, her latest reunion with Michael is about to become intensely personal.

"Halloween II" has plenty of graphic death scenes to please genre gorehounds, but these come as asides to writer-director Rob Zombie's main focus: to catch up with people twelve months after all their lives were irrevocably altered. None of the survivors of "Halloween" are the same as they once were. The smiling, innocent Laurie is now a traumatized shell, parentless and attempting to move on with a life she fears may be beyond repair. The feisty Annie, coming off a near-death experience, has had to grow up quickly, taking on a motherly role with no desire to leave the house. Sheriff Brackett has struggled to remain a steadfast rock for both girls. And Dr. Loomis, having written a book that exploits a tragedy he himself went through, has sold his soul in exchange for fortune and fame. Honest and uncompromising, Zombie's vision for all his characters rings true, building them beyond their limited, one-note development in the past film and into altogether more interesting and complicated human beings.

Whereas Zombie's "Halloween" misplaced suspense for to-the-point slaughter and lost much sight of humanity in a stream of endless four-letter words, "Halloween II" is more organic. The language, while coarse, never becomes overbearing, deriving instinctively out of situations. The first act alone, set immediately after the last pic's events as Laurie is followed by Michael to the hospital, is a high-wire act of rattling tension and veritably unpredictable "how-is-she-going-to-escape?" apprehension. Michael, fleeing from the scene of his crimes and having no choice but to take on the life of a vagrant for the transitory year, is at his most ruthless and threatening, looking infinitely more imposing with his rapidly deteriorating mask and increasingly hulking frame. The way Michael is often shot in darkness and shadows here adds to his monstrosity and threat, while his eyes never let you forget he is also a man. Indeed, for the first time in over a decade, he is once again a frightening cinematic villain.

There will be viewers who walk out of "Halloween II" perplexed, ill-prepared for the sobering helping of reality served up by Rob Zombie and the intermittent flights of fancy that pose as a staunch counterpoint to the almost documentary feel. The film is not perfect—the hallucinations and dreams involving a ghostly Deborah Myers (Sheri Moon Zombie), a young Michael (Chase Vanek), and a white horse are majorly trippy, but more a flourish than a necessity, and it is never satisfactorily explained how the grown-up Michael keeps being able to track Laurie and her friends down—but it is ambitious and even noble. Almost shocking how skillfully anchored it is, "Halloween II" is confidently and assuredly its own beast, and what a beast it is. Righting the wrongs of the remake and leaving the audience with more than just a line-up of kills to think about when the end credits roll, Zombie has crafted a film as disturbing as it should be, a thought-provoking rumination on everything from the cascading impact of tragic circumstances to the frailty of life. When the well-known theme music by John Carpenter makes its thunderous appearance at the end, it is well worth the wait. Even more telling, "Halloween II" is solid enough on its own that the famous score was hardly missed at all.
