Tagline: Ten Years Ago HE Changed The Face Of Halloween. Tonight HE'S BACK!
Plot: Ten years after his original massacre, the invalid Michael Myers awakens and returns to Haddonfield to kill his seven-year-old niece on Halloween. Can Dr. Loomis stop him?
My rating: 7/10
Will I watch it again? Probably.
Well here's a good sequel. I really wasn't expecting much because I go into these things as each sequel having diminishing returns. Yeah, it's not as good as the second picture but it's still fun. There's definitely something supernatural going on with Michael Myers. There's no way he can do what he does and survive everything. I don't care, though, because what I wanted was a good 80s slasher horror picture and that's what I got. Howarth's use of the main theme is well placed. He holds off using it until it's the right moment and it's effective. It's always fun having Pleasence back. The kid (Danielle Harris) does a fine job. And how about that balls-out, fucking insane ending? I loved it! Michael gets in a couple of good kills. The suspense is done well enough and I dug how Michael ended up at the house where everyone was holed up. The atmosphere, score and vibe are firmly seated in the 80s and it was nice to be back in Haddenfield after all these years.
