Knew from watching the first time years back that this entry didn't involve the masked killer, Michael Myers. But still, I watched it anyway & have seen it again for the first time in over 8 years & still have the same opinion.
The film this time around, features a mask making company designed to kill kids on Halloween via a TV Advert Jingle used to trance them to death on Halloween Night. It's a race against time for one man to stop this trance before it's too late.
I found the film to be poor, sorry not sorry but it was & not because it didn't feature Michael Myers. Now, I'm not one of those guys who dislikes the film because of that reason. The film itself was poor & even if it didn't share the same title I don't think it would've fared better, that's a matter of opinion. There's a lot of people think that the film would've been better received had the films title been different. I don't think so & that's a tunnel vision, rose tinted, myth that can never be proven. There's no solid fact that the film would've been better.
I for one know of the backstory behind what John Carpenter & Debra Hill were trying to do. The Halloween Franchise was supposed to be a bigger scale analogy like The Twilight Zone as John put it, but the success of the first film & the sequel had other ideas & as a result the film was put down, yeah, the film MAY have been better received but would have been better received any more than what we see or if at all.
I didn't like this film because the story sucked. The action was below mediocre & the whole premise was dumb & plot holed. Even if the film had been named Season Of The Witch & wasn't part of the Franchise I still wouldn't have liked it. In fact, I wouldn't have even bothered watching had it not been "apart" of the Halloween Franchise (sharing the same name).
There's not a lot in terms of redeeming qualities. The idea was unique & different but that's about it, well, that & the tad bit of eye candy we get. But to be honest, it's hard to find & think of anything I liked with this film as it wasn't great.
Overall, it's a disappointment & that's not because of Michael, sure I'd say it is a bit, but I generally think in itself, the film to be poor as.
3/10.
