Michael Myers (George P. Wilbur) was confined to a state facility after murdering a whole bunch of people in 1978. Now, a decade later, he is being transferred to a different one. It seems safe since he's in a coma after being shot and set on fire by his former psychiatrist, Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasance). But one of the transfer doctors casually mentions that Myers has a 7-year-old niece, Jamie (Danielle Harris), living in his hometown, which snaps him out of it pretty handily. Refreshed and looking to once again end his family line, Myers powerwalks to Haddonfield. Loomis knows Myers is Evil Incarnate and is not looking to add another tiny victim to his conscience. He reaches out to the Sheriff (Beau Starr) as well as the local drunk vigilante group, because he is taking no chances.
This movie does not overstay its welcome, I can tell you that. It is a tight 88 minutes and it gets right to the point. It's also a lot more tame than I was expecting. There's violence, sure, but not nearly as graphic or lurid as other entries. There is a lot of crying, though. Like a LOT.
It's streaming on AMC+ which I get through Amazon.
