Review Detail

Top-notch omnibus edit of the first 3 canonical Michael Myers movies. Especially excellent is the re-structuring of Halloween II to turn a cut-rate knock-off sequel into a mysterious and suspenseful masterpiece of dread. The voiceover transition from Part II to Part IV makes what could easily have been an awkward edit point into something seamless and even poetic.

It may not take the place of the original Halloween, which works more than fine as a standalone, obviously, but if you are looking to watch the old-school Myers chronology and want to save time/experience a more coherent storyline, this is absolutely the way to do it.
