The actor Donald Pleasence is twice as scary and a hundred times more creepy than the lame ol' predictable Mike Myers character could ever be.

It's Halloween weekend, so we're watching the typical cheesy Halloween movies. ~ This is my 1st time seeing this one and agreeing w/ everyone else on the young actress's performance. The movie itself wasn't too bad, far more interesting story-line than the other slasher movies in this series up to this point. ~ There are lots of commercials, which seem to interupt in places that really shouldn't be interupted. Whoever is in charge of inserting these ads should be required to watch the movie (even fast frward through it) to place the commercials in breaks of the story-line.... not just insert them every few minutes. ~ Yes, Hulu has jumped on the 'make more money' band-wagon and is inserting more commercials.

The best actress in the film is the little girl, Jamie, played by Danielle Harris, and it isn't because the other actors are poor - it is just that she is that amazingly good. You can forgive the movie's producers for writing in a child part in a horror film like this because her performance is that good. And before you say how easy it is to act in a horror film - try it sometime - it is infinitely harder than drama and comedy because there is no real-life reference to base your performance. I've read that Miss Harris decided to devote her career to horror when filming these two Halloween films (4 and 5) and that decision has served her well, but I would have liked to see her portray other roles. Despite her short stature, (she is barely five feet tall), I believe she still could be a major Hollywood star up there with Demi Moore and other A-List actresses.
