I wouldn't say that I hated it...I just found it really bland ad too self-aware. Plus, seeing Pleasence in such poor health was really, really hard to watch.

This movie has steadily grown on my since I first viewed. I strongly disliked when I first watched, but after viewing it several more times, I really start to like it. It explains quit a bit into the Thorn plot and is actually a pretty good slasher movie.

While it was very sad to see that this would be Pleasence's final movie in the series, you can't take away how creative this movie was. It's really one of a kind in this series. You can link it to H4 and H5, but it is still separable from those movies. I would LOVE to see the next Halloween movie continue where this one left off. I would really like to see a storyline with Tommy Doyle in it again, although the Akkads have made it very clear that the Thorn storyline is dead.

It's the best of the sequels apart from Halloween II. Its another flick that gets ragged on a bunch that I dig a lot. The series went to shit after this one.

I hear ya, Elvis...I saw it in the theater when it came out and was impressed with how strong the violence was... Part 6 has a huge body count too....always a plus in my book. :cool:

Essential ingredients of a slasher flick!

It's a really dark flick too. Mikey Myers found his menace again in this one. Its a pity this got overshadowed by all the Screamteen flicks at the time. It was a really dumb move that they didn't stick with the formula used in this one and went onto ruin the series by trying to imitate Scream with H20 and Ressurection.

Fuck an A!!!! The only reason to watch H20 is JLC being back...but Resurrection is fucking horrendous.

The opening to Resurrection was really cool but the rest is embarrasing.

It'd be cool to see JLC do more horror flicks like back in the day.

I'll admit H20 was a bit too "teenybopper," but it was still a good flick and is one of my favorite sequels.

Halloween, Halloween II, Halloween H20, Halloween 4, Halloween "6", Halloween 5, Halloween Resurrection are the way they go for me.

Halloween II is my favorite of the series. I really dig the energy that flick's got.

Thumbs down for 4 and 5.

HALLOWEEN 4 and 5 are my least favorite in the series. I really appreciate the feedback on part 6. 4 and 5 have that little girl plot. It just isn't cool. Of course Danielle Harris showed how pert her breasts had become in ZOMBIE's mixed bag of a movie. I just couldn't stand her in parts 4 and 5. Part 5 is the worst in the series. Really dumb teenagers who I hated were stalked and killed.Boring. Isn't it cool to be talking about something other than ZOMBIE's remake?
