'Wet' drips style, but lacks substance Sep 25, 2009
Speaking of Hollywood talent, the profanity-laden dialogue is well-written for the most part (penned by Duppy Demetrius of 24 fame) and voiced by the likes of Eliza Dushku (as Rubi), Malcolm McDowell and Alan Cumming.

Rob Zombie's Halloween II Movie Rev... Sep 4, 2009
Care was taken to develop the relationship between Myers and his mother (Sheri Moon Zombie), and even Myers and his intense doctor, the iconic Loomis, portrayed with convincing verve by Malcolm McDowell.

Halloween II is a vile sequel to a lazy remake Aug 29, 2009
Thats the rationalization that psychologist Sam Loomis (Malcolm McDowell) uses to justify his publication of a sleazy tell-all about serial killer Michael Myers (Tyler Mane) in Halloween II.. Even if writer-director Rob Zombie meant for that line to be ironic, however, it still resembles the kind of rock that Zombie shouldnt be chucking at this glass house of a sequel. (MSNBC -- Movies)
