Not Halloween, but Good Horror Film
Dark Vengeance 9 - wrote on 11/21/2011
Halloween 3 is a bizarre but exceptional horror film. This biggest mistake is that Halloween 3 is not actually part of the series, Michael Myers isn't in the film and this should be better clarified. This movie shouldn't be a Halloween. Instead you get something much more scary and unique. You get a evil businessman, played excellently by Dan O'Herlihy, who plans on using magical stones in masks to rip apart kids' heads and transform them into bugs. The evil businessman even has an army of androids that follow his evil plot. With that said, the movie is completely ridiculous and unbelievable but scary and intense. The main characters are actually well played; when they are in danger they actually look legitimately scared. This movie isn't at all related to Halloween so expect any tie …

Halloween 3: Season of the Mistake

Here's a great idea - let's make a Halloween movie that has nothing to do with any of the other films, in fact, it doesn't even mention Michael Meyers, let alone show him! Let's make this about masks and one pissed off Celtic guy with a grudge and magical piece of Stonehenge.
There is only one good scene in the film - a masked boy that turns into a writhing mass of bugs and snakes. Other than that - there is no redeeming value to this film. At least the lame Halloween sequels still had Michael Meyers. I'm still trying to figure out why how this was ever categorized as a Halloween film in the first place.
I guess John Carpenter had a right to change the Halloween films for what he thought was a new direction - but this wasn't the direction it needed. I'll take Michael Meyers …
