Product: Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
Rating: 2.0
Let's be fair: it's still not a good movie.
I agree with anyone who feels it's unfair to bash this movie strictly because there is no Michael. That's not fair to the movie makers. However, notwithstanding this fact, this is still a pretty crappy movie. The plot is anything but believable, even for a horror fantasy. The idea of the killer masks is less than inspired, and the whole story would be best told in an hour-long episode of the Outer Limits or something. It's too watered down for a full-length picture. The only reason to see this movie at all is for the scene with the kid's head being turned into a pile of creepy crawlers, and the woman who died similarly after her mask tampering got her a "laser beam" in the face, reducing her mouth to a gory hole (complete with the bug crawling out). Once you've cued up to these parts and watched them, this movie really has nothing more to offer. Don't even get me started on the artificial semi-robots with mustard for blood, because this movie only suffers from their inclusion in the story. By the time this movie was done, I was cursing myself for not re-renting Night Of The Living Dead. Sitting through this movie is punishment enough for making the mistake of renting it. I can only imagine how one would feel having bought the DVD.
