Summary: A good movie in it's own rights.
Review: Sure, just like everyone else, I was disappointed with the fact that Michael Myers wasn't in this and that it had nothing to do with the plot, but really, if you don't think of it as a "Halloween" movie, then it is actually a pretty good movie. The director, Tommy Lee Wallace, once noted that he wishes the producers hadn't called it a Halloween movie, because he felt that the main reason this is the most hated in the series is because everyone expected a continuation of parts 1 and 2. Well, after I opened my mind a little more, I started to enjoy this movie. It is extremely creepy and even cruel, one of the few horror movies I have ever seen where someone under the age of 12 gets killed. The plot is pretty tight, with (surprisingly) very little holes. The only thing that weighted this movie down was the horrible acting by Tom Atkins and his even more horrible character, a womanizing doctor who never took care of his kids. Sorry, but that's not the kind of guy I wanna see survive a horror movie. Some of the effects were really hokey (Colonel Cochrane vaporizing...). But the film has some pretty gruesome and unsettling death scenes, which is why I don't really understand why the average horror fans loathes this film. Anyways, what I am trying to get at is, if you don't look at this as HALLOWEEN III : SEASON OF THE WITCH and just think of it as SEASON OF THE WITCH, then you are almost guaranteed to enjoy yourself. *Disclaimer* This movie has nothing to do with witches.

Summary: Don't buy this unless you want the complete set, it STINKS!
Review: The movie really stinks. Only buy it if you're a collector and need it to complete your Halloween dvd set. Most horror movie fans consider this the worst horror sequel ever made. It isn't even about MICHAEL MYERS!

Summary: Very Poor
Review: OK so everyone knows that Michael Myers isn't in Halloween 3 and that is strange, hence the name HALLOWEEN since all of the other films have Michael in them. But just because Michael isn't in Halloween 3 doesn't make it bad. What makes it bad? Practically everything. It was a very childish and stupid plot with okay actors, but not that great. There is nothing at all good about this movie! If you are a big Michael Myers fan than be prepared to be dissapointed.

Summary: I'm gonna say it
Review: I'm tired of everyone crying over this film because it doesn't have michael myers. MICHAEL myers was Dead! get over it! the series to me ended with 2..John Originally wanted to make a Halloween movie every year, they made him put Myers in 2, he didn't want to! Halloween III I think is a brilliant film! and is too underserving of the bashing it gets. save your bashing for Halloween 5 and 6 if you want to bash Halloween films.

Summary: Halloween 3 stands on its own merits
Review: Those looking for yet another film in the Michael Meyers series, read no further . . . Mr. Meyers does not appear in this film and that comes as a welcome relief. In fact, the only onscreen connection with this film's predecessor, Halloween 2, is Dick Warlock (what a great name for horror films) who played "The Shape" in Halloween 2 and here he's unmasked and plays an android assassain. Anyhow, Halloween 3 is the story of a sinister mask maker (played by Dan O'Herlihy) who develops a diabolical plot to kill America's children with his Silver Shamrock Halloween masks. It's a pretty good story that, in some ways might remind you of the original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." It's also a social commentary on the brainwashing that occurs in certain children's advertising. The electronic synthesizer score, by John Carpenter and Alan Howarth, is eerie and is one of their best collaborative scoring efforts. Goodtimes' DVD looks good, thanks to the widescreen presentation and Dean Cundey's photography. Sadly, the film's sound is presented in mono which is curious since Goodtimes also released Halloween 2 and that presentation was released in surround sound. There are no extras on this DVD save the standard 18 chapter breaks that Goodtimes seems to use for all of their DVD releases and subtitles in English, French and Spanish.

Summary: "Halloween III" takes different approach
Review: This is an in name only sequel with no relation to the other movies in the series, and plays more like an updated 1950's science fiction film. Evil Conal Cochran (Dan O' Herlihy) devises a plot via computer chip to murder thousands of children on Halloween night. (Sorry, I can't offer any excuses for that plot). Nonetheless, only two people (Tom Atkins and Stacey Nelkin) are onto his scheme, and they try to stop him before he can carry out his plan. Nothing terrific, but I wouldn't dismiss this entirely. Certainly original, with some neat special effects. Those squeamish about snakes and bugs and spiders coming out of one's mouth might want to look elsewhere. Worth catching around Halloween time as this film definitely has that atmosphere.

Summary: Halloween III: Acquired Taste (correcting those corrections)
Review: I'll start with the obvious -- to correct another reviewer, John Carpenter WAS involved with Halloween III. He worked on the first three films. He wrote, directed, and did the music for the first. He wrote and produced Halloween II, along with collaborating with Alan Howarth on the music. He produced Halloween III, and again made the music along with Howarth. After that, he left the series. Carpenter, after HII, stated that Michael Myers was dead forever and it was time for move on. When producer Moustapha Akkad clamored for another, Carpenter came up with a plan to release an entirely separate Halloween film every year, all centered around the holiday but with unique stories. When this film bombed, that concept died. It didn't just bomb, in fact. Stories were reported that in cities such as New York, filmgoers expecting another Myers film actually pulled the seats up from the floors and threw them into the screen. But, does this movie deserve that treatment? That all depends on you. If you expect another slasher film, or another Myers film, you will likely be disappointed. This film is entirely unique. To some, the combination of Celtic mythology, mad scientists, deadly Halloween masks and robot henchmen is just horribly cheesy. Others embrace that cheese. If you can get past those concepts and embrace the cheesiness of them, you'll likely find a surpring amount to like in this film. If you don't tolerate such silly ideas as android bad guys in your horror films, there's not much chance this will set well with you. This review is on the fence, where this movie belongs. Take it or leave it. If you're unsure though, I'd say you should leave it. It's definitely and acquired taste.
