Halloween II - 4K Blu-Ray [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]

Finally, we get an individual 4K deluxe release of Halloween II, the continuation of the night in which Laurie Strode came face to face with Michael Myers, her nearly forgotten brother. After breaking out of the insane asylum, Michael plots his way to Haddonfield, Illinois for a family reunion and to kill anyone who gets in his way from doing in his sister. Laurie, after suffering serious injury, finds herself at the city hospital. Michael escapes Dr. Loomis once again after being shot several times and tries to elude the local sheriff's at all costs. He winds his way through the city as they partake of the dark night of Halloween, along the way, killing yet another innocent girl. He finally learns of Laurie's presence at he city hospital and makes his way there, wreaking havoc to all. Laurie finally realizes Michael is there and tries to escape from his grasp once and for all. Doctor Loomis arrives on scene to engage Michael as well. Great sequel and now it looks fantastic in a brand new 2021 4K edition with great artwork and a flip cover insert for the original art. We get pretty much all of the extras that have been released prior, with the exception of several individual deleted scenes by themselves without narration. There is some here on this edition with narration from the Director and he explains why they did not make it into the final movie. I believe the 30th Anniversary Blu-ray of Halloween II has those individual deleted scenes that had to be cut. The Blu-ray version of the movie on that edition had white specks in it throughout. This 2021 4K edition looks the best it has ever looked. Sound is a fantastic Dolby Atmos 7.1 if you choose. There are other audio options as well. Menus are outstanding. The TV version is on a DVD being standard definition, I am a bit dismayed as to why they went and put the first Halloween TV cut on a nice Blu-ray and left this sequel on a DVD. Anyway, at least we have it if you want to see that version. Get this now before it is out of print.

Such a great sequel the 4k itself will blow you away scream factory did a great job black levels clarity look incredible

Scream factory’s transfer is great for this movie!

If you're into this movie, you're probably already aware that there's some glitchiness on the HDR10 pass on this title, but the Dolby Vision grade looks amazing and has no glitchiness. Truthfully the only issue is for fractions of a second and while I likely would have noticed it before it was pointed out, it ain't the end of the world if you're not Dolby Vision capable. I'm thrilled with how this movie looks on the format. It's not a patch on the original film in terms of content, but I couldn't award 4 1/2 stars so I err on giving high marks for the attempt.

Hands down my overall favorite Halloween movie. Love it
