So, I was very surprised to feel a significant amount of suspense. Awesome! I think your review was spot on. The little girl who played Jamie was quite good (a little melodramatic at times), and was a terrific screamer. I thought the ending was just perfect. I didn't see that coming and it was quite chilling. <br /><br />It was interesting that you mentioned the midwestern feeling because I believe a large portion was filmed in Utah (not exactly midwestern, but very redneck, nonetheless). When I was a kid, I had heard that a sequel to one of the slasher movies was filmed at the small gas station on the outskirts of my town (Tooele, Utah), I could only wonder which movie it was... until now. I've driven past that gas station a ton of times. I think it's still called Penny's now (when it's open. It really is in the middle of nowhere).Miskatonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10458189434988263478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-63065657126336217232009-09-18T22:04:10.764-07:002009-09-18T22:04:10.764-07:00i agree this is a good film, but people complain t...i agree this is a good film, but people complain that in the rob zombie halloween remake and sequel that michael myers is too powerful but mm stabs a guy in the head with his thumb! and why is he being transfered without any security? if he is a fed prisoner shouldn't the fbi be there. oh wellkillakaliforniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594334750675272967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-23884753719163426652008-07-10T15:59:00.000-07:002008-07-10T15:59:00.000-07:00Next to the first one, this is by far my favorite ...Next to the first one, this is by far my favorite in the franchise.

Can you believe that suspense -- of all things! -- is what nearly all the sequels forgot about?<BR/>Starting with Part 5 the series lost its mind and simultaneously got really lazy and stupid (though I enjoy them all in a weird way), but Part 4 really put forth the effort. I'm sure the producers were feeling the heat after the bombing of the Myers-less <I>Halloween III,</I> so they really worked hard to get things back on track. Only <I>H20</I> would show a similar (though, I think, lesser) attention to what made the original so great. The year <I>H20</I> came out, I spent a weekend watching the first six movies almost non-stop. It really brought to the surface what works and what doesn't about the whole series. And leaps in logic become so much more apparent if you've just seen the previous movie. <BR/>In my mind, this is the second best <I>Halloween</I> movie.Marc P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18117743249926488068noreply@blogger.com
