6.5/10
I love this film. Incredible opening sequence, tightly paced, no frills, decent kills, quaint fall, mid-western mood, solid George P Wilbur performance, despite the bad mask. The mask was understandable from a continuity standpoint, as most cheap masks are about as good. But they definitely could have supplied an incidentally creepier one.
I take issue with a few things, aside from the mask, like how in the hell MM got on that truck. Not a big deal, I know, but they could have supplied a scene showing this while they were rallying at the school. There was only a moment. We can forgive a lot, but a film should always try. Also, what is up with the blonde MM mask in the school? "Ah, they can deal with it, it's just a Halloween sequel..." must have been the thought, unfortunately.
People take issue with the ending, and I do not get it. To me, the transference of Evil to Jamie is an intriguing and creepy ending. Oh, the possibilities that could have come. Every one loves a mystery, but it kinda made sense that the evil was a sort of active force. So the ending was rather plausible to me.
From go, mechanically, this movie is one of the better movies in the series, regardless of faults.
