Narrative
On 1982 of October 23, in Northern California, Harry Grimbridge, a shop owner was pursued by the mysterious guy in suits, with the Halloween mask of jack-o-lantern in his possession. Then, he collapses in the shop area of Walter Jones that asked for help. Harry was taken to the hospital and was placed in the assistance of his Dr. Daniel Challis, the alcoholic doctor who had a stressful relationship with his two children and ex-wife. Later that evening, Harry was murdered by one more suited man, who immolated himself in his auto. After identifying the body, Ellie, Harry’s daughter met Daniel at the bar and revealed that she had discovered suspicious happenings surrounding the death of Harry. To investigate, they travelled to Silver Shamrock factory at Santa Mira, California, wherein the Halloween masks were made. Upon their coming in the place, they check in the motel, and the manager revealed that Conal Cochran with the Silver Shamrock Novelties factory, the makers of the famous Halloween masks, had been the source of their town’s prosperity. During their checking, Daniel discovers that Harry was the recent motel guest there.
Marge Guttman, the other motel customer, discovered the microchip behind the medallion of a mask. The medallion emitted the deadly energy beamed into the mouth as she takes it curiously with the hairpin. Her face was left mutilated, and the insect crawled out of her own mouth. Shortly after that, the men in laboratory coat take the body of Marge away in the Silver Shamrock van. Then, Daniel overheard the factory technician telling Cochran that there was a “misfire.” While Ellie and Daniel toured the factory in the next morning, Ellie saw her father’s car, being guarded by more guys in suits who also stop her from being closer to it. Then, they flee and called the authorities, but then Daniel cannot reach anybody outside the town though phone. Ellie was abducted and was taken to the mask factory; Daniel followed and was captured by the guy in suits, revealing to be android Cochran created.
Cochran took Daniel into the “final processing” controlling area and revealed his plan: a microchip on every mask containing the fragment with a piece of the Stonehenge he once stole. Upon seeing the commercial of “Big Giveaway”, a microchip on the mask will activate, murdering whoever is wearing it with deadly brain damage and making the swarm of snakes and insects to emanate from the bodies, also murdering anyone nearby. In the meantime, the hospital assistant, Teddy, coroner Daniel entrusted in investigating the auto explosion, was also killed by the android.
Writer’s Notion
The movie is the bizarre exercises in the creepiness that eschews Myers favoring the humanoid drones, witchcraft, lasers, an Old Man from the “RoboCop” being the villain. Then there is the protagonist, the sex-hungry physician who was caught in this conspiracy.
However, on the one hand, the movie was a very enjoyable film because you can see it how it really ends. The great thing here will be that they really go to mood and ambiguous of John Carpenter’s movie ending. However, the script just takes way really long in revealing an evil plot, and that is characteristic of bigger pacing issues. It also tend to fall in somewhere during the middle on the film; it does not deserve all the negative reviews it received.
