About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a Laurie-focused Halloween sequel with mounting dread and a tense school setting; Not for you if you prefer steady action throughout, or if you dislike movies that drag in the early going, similar to When a Stranger Calls Back.

Pros: Laurie returns; late thrills; solid suspense | Cons: slow middle; few standout kills; some questionable decisions
