Movie Reviews of Halloween III - Season Of The Witch
Movie Review: The night he doesn't need to come home...
Summary: 4 Stars
After browsing through the many 1-star rating reviews, I came to realize what I already knew. Most people condemn this movie for the simple reason that Michael Myers was not featured. As I've read, the original plan of the producers was to make a new Halloween story every year since Michael Myers "died" at the end of Halloween II. Since this film wasn't received well, Michael was brought back in Halloween 4, a worthy sequel to the first film. It's possible if they had not used the title "Halloween III" there would not be so much negative feedback. It's actually very spooky and fun. The music is chilling as in most John Carpenter films and the villian Conal Cochran as played by Dan O'Herlihy is very effective. I thought the Silver Shamrock zombies disguised as company executives in fancy suits had a very eerie, creepy feel to them. The story is simple which is always a plus. After her father mysteriously dies in a hospital clutching a Halloween mask in his hand, Ellie Grimbridge and Dr. Dan Challis (Stacey Nelkin, Tom Atkins) investigate the strange town where the Halloween masks are manufactured. What they find is something far more sinister than they could have imagined. When it comes to these horror films, the fans are quick to criticize the sequels. I thought the idea of switching tactics was smart on the producers part. Michael Myers can only go on so long before it becomes dull. While I enjoy Halloween 4 & 5 as much as the first two, the sequels that came after became just that. If you take Halloween III Season of the Witch for what it is (a stand-alone film not to be compared to Halloween/Halloween II) you may be pleasantly surprised. Also recommended for fans of John Carpenter films.
Summary of Halloween III - Season Of The Witch
No Description Available.Genre: Horror
Rating: R
Release Date: 7-OCT-2003
Media Type: DVD
The one Halloween sequel in which He doesn't come home, Halloween III: Season of the Witch was producer John Carpenter's attempt to get the series away from the original's psycho-on-the-loose story line and turn it into a vehicle for more far-fetched Halloween-themed horror tales. Incredibly, the fans voted for more of the same and Carpenter walked away for others to rehash the Michael Myers plot line in a succession of look-alike movies that are still turning up every few years.
After the mysterious death of a toyshop owner, a doctor (Tom Atkins) and the man's daughter (Stacy Nelkin) investigate the Irish-dominated Northern California community of Santa Mira, a company town owned by the Silver Shamrock Novelty corporation. Atkins and Nelkin are typical low-rent horror movie protagonists, dim bulbs who discover an Invasion of the Body Snatchers-style conspiracy involving sharp-suited corporate robots. But guest star Dan O'Herlihy steals the film as a Celtic joke tycoon who hates the way American kids are despoiling the religious spirit of Samhain and decides to teach them a nasty lesson. His scheme, which involves a stolen Stonehenge megalith and a techno-magic spell that turns the heads of TV watchers into writhing masses of snakes and insects, is value for money, and O'Herlihy mixes enough serious malice into the charm to come across as a great screen bad guy. --Kim Newman
