Halloween III, the Season of the DUMB!
This movie is absolutely horrible! It is not deserving of the name 'Halloween', and John Carpenter and Debra Hill should have to offer a thousand 'Hail Michaels' to attone for their sin! The entire plot of murdering millions of children on Halloween night, while intriguing, was very poorly handled, and the complete absence of Michael Myers (except in those stupid TV promos), was what destroyed the whole experience for me. The only reason I gave this movie a single star at all is because Dan O'Herlihy gave an excellent performance as Conal Cochran. The only good thing about this movie is its villain, although he (Died? Disappeared? What the hell was that anyway?) at the end of the movie. Oh, and one warning, if you're one of those people who gets songs stuck in their head, steer clear of this movie. The annoying London Bridge/Halloween commercial embedded itself in my grey cells, and to this day, you can still catch me singing "Eight more days til Halloween, Halloween, Halloween," until I'm ready to dash my head against a concrete wall. If you are in the movie for a spooky story, this is a good one to see, but if you're a diehard Michael Myers fan, with high standards, or any standards, steer clear!
