Scarred from his last encounter with Myers, Loomis immediately rallies the local authorities in order to save little Jamie from certain death. The screenplay by Alan B. McElroy is functional without being insulting, but it does rely on certain horror film cliches in order to advance the plot. Director Dwight H. Little manages to make all of this matter, and creates a great deal of suspense and chills as Myers goes through one victim after another in his search for family. The performances are decent, including Ellie Cornell as Jamie's new sister whose survival instincts come in handy as they flee the boogeyman. The colors are strong and impressive, with excellent saturation with no fading or bleeding.
Flesh tones are exceptional, while blacks are industrial strength.
The transfer benefits from a clean negative, which allows for pure whites and shadows. Depth of field is excellent, with really nice attention to detail. No compression artifacts or noise. The colors are especially vibrant, while contrast is so definitive you can make out details in the shadows. The 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround soundtrack is okay but lacks real definition.
