Rating: 5.0
Probably the best Halloween movie
I really liked this movie. Good (cheesy) scary movies are pretty tough to find, and this is one of those rare gems. It starts out with a man being chased by some mysterious men in black. He escapes and winds up at a hospital, where he issues dire warnings to the staff of impending doom. Later that night he's killed. Intrigued, the doctor (Tom Atkins) who was treating him decides to investigate this mystery, and he teams up with the daughter of the dead man (played by Stacy Nelkin). They go to a small town way out in the country where Silver Shamrock Halloween masks are made and uncover a crazy plot to...well, I'll leave that for you to discover.The fun thing about this movie is that the plot is just so ridiculous, yet it somehow seems to work. The acting is overall very good, and the plot moves along well. It has a marvelous '80s atmosphere to it - so many movies from the early '80s still have a '70s atmosphere to them, but not this one. It actually manages to be suspenseful in places, and overall is quite entertaining.
