The cinematography and camerawork are not as iconic as the first film, but they still feel like an elaboration of the original movie's look. All the background stuff and origins revelations on Michael Myers is pretty weak, but easy to ignore. Still the mean spirited and raw feel of the movie are wonderful. If the first film's climax takes place in the early evening, this is the nauseous 2am that follows.

She finally stabs/kills him, and he falls off of a balcony. The End. Until it isn't! The last little bit is crazy/non-nonsensical. Overall, it's fairly entertaining. Now that Myers doesn't have a head, this series is concluded. Until it isn't! 5 stars for the decapitation of "evil", rather than his body just disappearing like usual.

Sold. <br />I think this is a movie that will grow on me as my appreciation for Bava grows. It seems to me (and I could be so wrong here) that Bava is a way more subtle filmmaker than an Argento or Fulci. Some really interesting and startling imagery and great black and white photography. I found the pacing to be slow but then again that may be a reflection of the era (ERA) and the gothic style tale.

It's so much fun! The demon effects are really impressive and there's some really creepy stuff like when demon Angela does her dance in front of the fire which is really scary and hypnotic. Whenever you see her floating down the hallways it gives me chills. I'm pretty sure Linnea Quigley is an actual demon so great casting there. I love that it takes place on Halloween so this might be a go to Halloween movie for me now. I remember the vhs cover of this scaring me as a kid and man its a really great cover. Look it up. The music also rocks, the theme is now my ring tone.
