Halloween III - Season of the Witch

Rating:
Summary: one of the better sequels.
Review: Halloween III goes for something different.There is no Michael Myers here.Halloween III is about a corporation that is plotting to kill all of the worlds children with their Halloween masks.When a man is murdered on his way to the factory by a robot,his daughter and a doctor go to the little town to check out what's going on at the Shamrock company.Not a bad movie,just doesn't have anything to do with the previous films in the series,which is a good thing because they've made way to many sequels.

Summary: Maltin Type Review
Review: Unknown little chiller that has absoloutly nothing to do with the series, but it delivers! A maniac in Northern California provides little kids with strange masks that cause mutations when worn! Actually, the film is very eerie, with a great music score by Carpenter and solid acting (especially Dan O'Herily or Tom Atkins!) Rated R ***1/2

Summary: Classic Horror - Pity about the DVD
Review: I'm sure that everyone is familiar with the story of this episode of the Halloween set, and so I won't waste any time with this. Suffice to say that I have to disagree with many of the people who slate this episode. I think that it is a great chapter in the Halloween series - providing a small break from Mr Myers exploits and also providing far more scope for the series. The great John Carpenter soundtrack adds to the atmosphere brilliantly, just like the original Halloween 1, but with a more 80's sounding electronic feel. The story is more creative than the rest of the series and the level of acting is adequate. The only gripe I have really are the quality of the DVD's themselves. In the UK we are limited to two versions, both of which have next to nothing in terms of special features and one of the DVD's even has some parts cut out! It is a shame really considering the features which are available on DVDs relating to other episodes in the series. So I would have to say 5 out of 5 for the movie, but only 3 out of 5 for the DVD. However, if you love the movie, you'll get the DVD anyway! Enjoy!

Summary: Good film.. dispite being called halloween 3;
Review: If you have an open mind about this film you might just like it.. It has nothing to do with Michael or any of the Halloween series, but by itself it is a good story. Tom Atkins plays a doctor who gets involved in solving a murder that took place in his hospital. With the help of the victims daughter, Tom heads out to the silver shamrock factory to investagate. Dispite the annoying theme song and the feel of a early 80's horror film, this movie will capture your attention to the very end.

Summary: HALLOWEEN 3 IS NO SEQUEL
Review: NOT A TRUE SEQUEL TO HALLOWEEN 1 AND 2,BUT 3 BORROWS ELEMENTS FROM INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS AND 3 IS ENJOYABLE TO WATCH BUT TO OWN IS SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT BECAUSE THE BLOODY EFFECTS ARE COOL TO WATCH AND WHEN PUMPKIN MASKS EXPLODE,SNAKES SQUIRM AROUND THE MASK,AND EVEN A WEIRD KIDS CHANNEL IS TELLING KIDS TO KILL.I LIKED THIS ONE MORE THAN HALLOWEEN PART 2,4,5,7.SO MY ONLY HALLOWEEN SERIES THAT ARE COOL TO ME ARE PARTS 1,3,6,AND 8.THIS ONE IS A FILM TO WATCH,EVEN WITHOUT MICHAEL MYERS IN THE FILM SLASHING TEENS OR ADULTS.

Summary: Could be much better
Review: Although the Masked michel is not in this moive if it was just titled soemthing els and not even in the series i would still have to say this movie was pritty bad. ITs plot could have used much more developing and well it just wasnt that sacry. The only good part was when the masked turned into snakes and stuff but overall it lacked as a movie even without michel myers i would say to get this movie only if you want to complete you collection but i wouldnt recomend actualy whacting it lol

Summary: Don't listen to the naysayers
Review: Ask any fan of the Halloween series which film was the worst and nine times out of ten they will tell you that it's Halloween 3. When you ask why, all they will say is "because Michael Myers isn't in it and it has nothing to do with the series". Little do they know, little do they know. Anyway, when John Carpenter still had control of the series, he wanted to steer it away from becoming the series of re-hashes that it would become by steering away from anyplace called Haddonfield and anyone by the last name of Myers, Strode, or Loomis. The story revolves around a doctor (Tom Atkins) who stumbles upon a plot to kill children by a group of druid descendants who manufacture halloween masks (they call themselves Silver Shamrock) that will kill whoever is wearing them when they watch a commercial for the company. Did I mention that there are suit wearing humanoid robots running around doing some killing of their own? It all sounds cheesy, but despite what fans of the series say, Halloween 3 has it's share of creepy moments, and I find it a lot better than many of the other installments of the series. All in all, if your looking for a nice way to kill an afternoon or want something half decent to watch on Halloween, then give this a look, it's not as bad as it is reputed to be.

Summary: One of the BEST Halloween sequels
Review: who cares if Michael Myers wasn't in the film! Originally, it was planned that each Halloween movie would have a different story, but somehow related to the Halloween holiday. It's too bad that the majority bashed this film simply because it doesn't have Myers. The Myers sequels that followed weren't that great, and he should have stayed dead in part 2.
As for this film, it's a great B-movie. By no means is it perfect, and it does have it's share of flaws. However, it's a great popcorn movie that delivers! It also features one of the greatest endings by a horror movie! Put Michael Myers aside and give this film a chance.

Summary: Look beyond Michael Myers! This is classic!
Review: You people need to lighten up and OPEN YOUR EYES! sure this didnt have Michael Myers but when u have a movie this good u shoouldent care! This movie was creepy and scary. It had a dark depth to it and it was very freaky and very spine tingiling. It was written by Horror master(and creater of Halloween)John Carpenter so just by that u knopw that its gonna be good with or without Michael in it. You people need to see beyond Michael and understand and realize that this movie is classic!

Summary: Good gory thriller, movies title was problem
Review: If this movie had had another name like "All Hallows Eve" or maybe "Halloween Night" I think it would have done better and had more recognition than it did. This movie bombed only because it was wrongly named "Halloween 3". Honestly, I thought it was a good, shocking horror flick, but I can understand people being upset because with the title "Halloween 3" people expected Micheal Myers. I remember seeing it in the theater and people were booing and throwing things at the screen because they were let down. I think many of them would have really enjoyed this gory horror thriller for what it was had it not been named as a continuation of the "Halloween" series. All in all it's a good, gory interesting horror flick I would recommend seeing, even though it has no relation to I and II.
