Summary
Kids all over America want Silver Shamrock masks for Halloween. Doctor Daniel Challis seeks to uncover a plot by Silver Shamrock owner Conal Cochran.
Why It Rocks
- Thought it never completely happened, the idea of the Halloween franchise being an anthology series is amazing.
- It is a breath of fresh air from the previous two films as it contains more sci-fi and supernatural elements.
- The idea of a corrupt company that creates masks and kills anyone who wears one is very original writing.
- The actors give some very decent performances, especially Tom Atkins as Daniel and Dan O’Herlihy as Conal Cochran.
- Even though Michael Myers is not in this movie, Conald Cochran and the business he runs (The Silver Shamrock Company) are very entraining and sinister antagonists.
- Several people who were involved with the original 1978 Halloween (Tommy Lee Wallace, Debra Hill, John Carpenter and Nancy Kyes/Annie Brackett and Jamie Lee Curtis) have also taken part in this film as either a director, producer or actor and they all do a great job at their respective positions.
- Speaking of which, there is a nice reference to the original film as a commercial for it is shown on a television at one moment.
- The commercial jingle for The Silver Shamrock Company is surprisingly catchy.
- Excellent character and story development.
Bad Qualities
- The movie hasn’t gotten a lot of well-received praise as many criticized for lacking Michael Myers and differing from the other films in the Halloween franchise.
- Depending on your view, the Silver Shamrock song can get annoying.
