Review:
Uh Oh, Micheal Myers is back (well actually that's a good thing since the last sequel didn't even include him) and he's feeling slashy!  This time he escapes the institution during being transported and of course he goes to where the original murders occurred.  This time around we meet Laurie's young niece Jamie ([Artist451426]) seems to be having horrible visions of Michael.  Will he get to her?  Or will Doctor Loomis be able to save the day?  It's at least got a body count and is really easy to follow, it's just a little slow going in the start, and compared to the first two films this one isn't anywhere near.  It does build up a little bit of the chase tension that these movies are so good at and Harris is a likeable lead at least.  Fans of the series should at least enjoy this outing, and it's a decent offering for Halloween time but it's not as great as it should have been.

Availability:  On DVD
