So if you begin watching Halloween 3 for the first time after the start credits, it can be a good film?
Are horror icons like Myers really that essential to today's audience? Or is it just considered impudent of a director/producer to release a different film under the banner of an established series?
Perhaps some viewers of Halloween 3 feel cheated that the movie is not what they expected...
Fortunately they changed the name of Zombi 2 in some territories to Zombie Flesh Eaters (originally touted as a "sequel" to Romero's Dawn of the Dead/a.k.a. Zombi) or that might have been shit, too.
Seen Demons 3: The Ogre? Now there is a good example of a straightforward cash in on a respected name - the producers' idea not Lamberto Bava's - with a bland and forgettable movie, save for nice cinematography and score.
