Product: Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
Rating: 4.0
One cool horror flick
During the early 80's there were a slew of horror movies and this was one of the most origanal ones released. The plot is simple, an evil warlock, who is also a business man, tries to change the world through grisley machinations from the influence of his Silver Shamrock company. If you are trying looking for formula shocks, buckets of gore and special effects this movie will disappoint you. Moreover, Michael Myers is not in it, which makes it stand on it's own unlike all the Halloween sequals after it. However, if you are looking for something novel in a saturated genre that has tight scripting, descent direction, and good acting this will prove refreshing. Even though this movie is directed by Tommy Lee Wallace it has a strong feeling of John Carpenter from the music to how it was lensed. For fans of John Carpenter's work, the pacing in not unlike his movies 'The Fog' and 'Village of the Damned' and should be checked out. This gem also includes technically driven sorcery, robots, the sexy Stacy Nelkin, and an ending that says something else other than the cliche 'evil never dies'.
