You won't be disappointed!

Simply A Masterpiece

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

To surprise of many in ye olde times of 1980's, Halloween III didn't have Michael Myers, it wasn't even set in the same "universe". As far as this movie - Michael Myers is a famous boogeyman from a Halloween movie.No, Halloween III was supposed to be a new entry in the franchise that was about to become an anthology of different halloween themed movies every year. But we all now know how that ended.And goddammit, first 15 to 30 minutes of this movie go really strong. The mood, the atmosphere, the mystery. But, unfortunatly, after that great start... well it still goes strong but becomes also very, very silly. Suddenly we have robots, lasers, magic lasers, Stonehenge, magic masks that shoot magic lasers that can turn you head into mush filled with bugs and snakes. Did I mention mother effin Stonehenge? And a honest to god - a Bond villain to tie all that up somehow. So you see, even if it get bad really quick, this movie gets bad in all the right ways. So yeah, no Myers for now, but damn it's a fun ride with a bitchin' music score by Carpenter and Howarth.

This is misunderstood and I use to hate it until I re watch it. It's smart, and fun too. Good story, good acting, good script, and good pacing. To everyone who hates it: give it another chance, just cause their's no Michael Myers doesn't mean it's gonna be bad, I'm a die-hard fan and all but still. This sequel is worth watching too!

Let's address the elephant in the room here. MICHAEL MYERS IS NOT IN THIS ONE! There we go. Anyway, "Halloween III" follows Dr. Challis, who's patient is spouting nonsense about someone coming for him. His daughter meets Challis and they decide to get to the bottom of what he's talking about. They find a little town called Santa Maria, which is home to the worlds largest Halloween mask factory. They investigate a bit until they discover the head of the mask company, Colonel Cochran, is planing on killing every child in the country, through his masks, to revive the festival of Samhain."Halloween III Season of the Witch" is an...interesting film. It's never terrible, but it's a very perplexing movie. The plot feels like an episode of "The Twilight Zone" and the scares just aren't there. Michael Myers doesn't have to be present to make "Halloween III" a good movie, but you'd expect some creepy atmosphere from something with the word "Halloween" in the title. You're never fully able to root for the protagonists because you never feel like you know them too well. They just feel like side characters that have been accidentally cast as main characters. And Colonel Cochran is a pretty boring villain for the film. Dan O' Herily is great in the role, but once again it feels like he's in the wrong movie.That's pretty much the problem with "Halloween III", it's not bad because Michael Myers is in it-but it's completely devoid of scares, a good plot and atmosphere. There's scenes that capture the feel of Halloween, mainly the montage in the middle of the film, but the whole film feels like it has nothing to do with the holiday and instead like a bad episode of "The Outer Limits". It has it's moments, but "Halloween III Season of the Witch" as a whole is not a spectacular movie.

Horror franchises are naturally inclined to become stale, obvious and boring after a while, say, after the third or fourth installment, when the formulaic script simply has nowhere else to go. There's no reason whatever to supposed the same wouldn't happen with Halloween. Everybody knows John Carpenter DID NOT want Halloween to become a franchise. But the first two movies made a lot of money, and then they decided they HAD to release a new Michael Myers story every couple of years, if only to satisfy fans of easy and predictable slasher flicks. The third installment in the franchise- Season of the Witch- was a huge departure from the story told in the first two parts- and was also a sign that the real intention was to create a collection of stories based on Halloween, but independent of each other. Of course, it did not succeed, and in the fourth chapter there we went to meet our "dear" Michael Myers and his endless thirst for blood again.It was really a pity things went this direction. Because, truth be told, every Halloween sequel was worse than the previous one, with an indestructible killer who simply was a "seasonal" variation of Jason Vorhees, and all the writers had to do at a certain point was creating a new excuse for bringing Michael back, because the killer invariably ended "dead" or severely injured in each chapter. The rest of the "plot" was basically the same in every movie: Halloween night, Michael comes back to Haddonfield, people are sure he's either dead or only a legend, he starts to kill everyone in sight, someone realizes he's alive, there's a relative of his that he's willing to kill, etc, etc.If this third installment in the franchise had been successful, things could have been different. And instead of having THE SAME MOVIE over and over again, we could have now a very interesting collection of good horror stories. Why didn't this work out? My theory is very simple: this didn't work out not only because people wanted Michael Myers back after his hospital bloodbath in Halloween II, but also because Halloween III: Season of the Witch is a very, VERY bad movie. People might have thought: If the other installments in this series be like this one, then we'd rather have Michael Myers coming back every damn year for more of the same.What can I say not to "spoil" (sic) the party of anyone else? Well, I will not describe the "plot", yet I must say this film does not have any sense whatsoever, bad actors, bad story line, horrible villain, pathetic death scenes, and you end up asking yourself if what you're seeing on screen is really for real. The movie does have a promising beginning, but it all goes downhill from there. I must confess, being a John Carpenter work, the soundtrack is eerie and fantastically atmospheric. Yet the story being told does not deserve a good soundtrack. I think the best way to describe this thing is: bizarre. It's really weird, but not in a positive, Kafka kind of way. It's weird because it doesn't go anywhere and has an awkward story line.I will not give any spoilers, so go and watch for yourself if you haven't yet. I can assure you that you'll understand why the chose to bring Mike back after this "thing".
