Product: Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
Rating: 4.0
One of the best in the series
John Carpenter's Halloween and it's entertaining 1981 sequel were smash box office hits. The first 4 installments in the sage are the strongest, and slowly go downhill after. Part 3 is a really good and really original sequel. The film is about a girl who's father gets attacked by someone from a place where he used to work...did he know something that they couldn't let him live knowing about? Yes. Truly the most creative halloween sequel, this one is suspenseful, has a good story, and will creep you out. I liked it more than some of the Michael Myers killing sprees! I'd give it an A- or a B+It is really good, the only faults are simply there wasn't enough structural horror, and not enough suspense. I mean, there's some, but I would have liked to see more chasings, more mystery and of course more of the scariness we only get glimpses of during the movie. It's a good story. This movie along with Halloween 1 and 2, and of course Tobe Hooper's FUNHOUSE, are some of the best scary story films of that late seventies..early 80's drive through horror phase. It's a movie no horror fan should miss. It's not as constantly scary and suspenseful as the first Halloween, but it's closer than any sequel after this.Fans will greatly appreciate this film's versatility and originality.
