Notes

My quick rating - 6,7/10. Utter brutality merely for the sake of just that, to shock you. The kills are a never-ending onslaught on your eyes and your brain in imagining just how horribly painful these actions would be. The movie set out with a single goal and accomplished it. If you haven't seen the first flick, it is very much related but only in a way that can quickly be explained. This movie starts off immediately after the first one ends. But it isn't necessary to watch if you want to jump right in with this. The first one was more of a traditional slasher and as much as I did enjoy this one, I definitely appreciated the first one more. The story is quite simple, Art the Clown kills everyone with impunity. Here he is after a girl who has a strange connection to the killer clown and will not let anyone get in the way of his vicious brand of slaughter. The blood is unloaded on the audience in buckets, to say the least. The strange thing is with all this violence it still tends to slip in some really dark humor along the way. If you ever bothered with the third Halloween flick it did one very successful thing that no one ever saw coming. It ingrained a song into your head for no apparent reason. If you are reading this and know what I mean, the lyrics are already bopping in your head (absolutely click at your own risk). Well, here there is another attempt at drowning your brain with a song that you just don't want stuck in your head. I will not say it is going to stick with you literally 40 years later like the link above has in my damn head, but you will be humming about the Clown Cafe (no spoiler link) for at least some time after the credits. Where this movie falters though is a weird turn they decided to take and never developed at all. This is some connections to the supernatural which are just not hashed out properly leaving complete parts of the story unexplained. They sneak in our survivor from the first flick which if you saw it you'll realize no one including Art was going to survive but alas, they worked it out. However, these occurrences just don't get fully formed. That and other character connections as well get left. Don't get me wrong, they clearly leave the ending open for another sequel and judging by how this one exploded, I know damn well there will be one. But I just hope they can pull the reigns back a bit with the story since it branched off to much for its own good. Still, a must-see for horror fans and a great date movie if you are making sure you won't get a follow-up phone call.
This one wasn't available for streaming when I watched it but now the usual suspects all have it including Amazon which you can click the poster below to check out.
