Summary: It should've ended with HALLOWEEN II
Review: as i am typing this review a HALLOWEEN 8 (?!!?) is in the works.
why bother? whatta nightmare seeing this 6th chapter as michael myers skewers, slaughters, and disembowels everyone in sight (oh yeah, he crushes 1 guy's head thru a steel gate). there's also the horror cliche of an empty hospital and an empty bus station WHERE NO ONE KEEPS GUARD and it is just myers chasing his prey (why put a baby in jeopardy? a new low there). it was umcomfortable seeing donald pleasance in this, his last film. he was very ill during filming and it really shows with his voice painfully screechy and his standing uneven. a mess all around!

Summary: oh my god ...
Review: it's this kind of movie that gives horror movies a bad name. there has been quite a few great horror films (exorcist, omen, halloween, nightmare on elm street, friday the 13th, psycho, night of the living dead, shining, etc.), but this is so cliched that it's extremely painful to watch - i actually fell asleep halfway through this movie. this is not scary in the least, has some of the worst acting ive even seen, and it simply recycles a storyline that was already made a movie several sequels ago.
I enjoyed Halloween and Halloween 2, even Halloween 3 was worth watching (as well as H20), but this and the 2 other poor excuses for horror flicks: halloween 4 and 5 are not even worth renting). please heed my warning (lol), you do not want to see this. granted this particular Halloween sequel (how many are there again?) is better than 4 and 5, but thats not really saying anything.
P.S.: if i see someone walk hesitantly into a pitch dark room saying the words, "Whose there?" one more time, i swear to god im gonna join michael myers, lol...

Summary: The scariest, but far from the best
Review: When I was in the seventh grade my Dad took me to go see this film at the theatre. I think I was emotionally traumatized for about a week after seeing it because it was so scary and all of the killings were soooooo violent. I did not even really focus on the plot that much because I was so terrified. When it finally came out on video I puchased a copy and watched it again and realized how dumb the plot was. The director obviousley knew what he was doing because Micheal Meyers was the scariest in this film but who ever wrote it should be ashamed. I guess they kind of had to clear up the dirty work of Halloween 5 (the worst) with the plot, dealing with that man in black coat, boots, and hat freeing meyers from jail at the end.

Summary: A First Rate Thriller. Up There With The Original.
Review: Halloween The Curse Of Michael Myers is my favorite Halloween sequel, and, despite having horrible reviews, is the second best of the series (the first being part 1, of course). The movie realized that the series was getting pretty dull by part 5, so it adds a lot of new plot twists, like Michael being involved in some cult called "Thorn" that makes one person kill every member of his family. You'll also find out in this one who the Man In Black really is (I'll give you a hint, he was in ONE scene from the original). The movie begins with Jamie Lloyd (no longer Danniele Harris, but J.C. Brandy) having a baby, which is then stolen by the man in black, who is going to make this baby Michael's sacrifice. However, a kind woman working there helps Jamie escape with her baby. This woman then meets her fate, impaled to a coat hanger by Michael Myers, who is now stronger and more enraged than ever!! Jamie does get away, and hides her baby at a bus depot, before she, to, meets her maker. Then, we go on to meet Kara Strode (Marriene Hagan) and her family. She's got a seven year old boy. She's going to college to make up for her past mistakes. Her father, John, dosn't approve of her staying at his place, where he already has two other people living, his wife, and his son, John (Bradford English). John Strode is an abusive alcoholic, who mistreats his entire family. Kara is a little bit creeped out by this man who's staring at her out his window. Well, this man happens to be Tommy Doyle (Paul Steven Rudd), who was being babysat by Laurie Strode when Myers attacked in 1978. He's a little messed up by this particular incident, and he thinks that Michael's returning. He was also listening to this particular radio show the night before, and recorded when Jamie screamed "Help Me" to the show. He tracks the area she was calling from down to the bus depot, where he finds her baby. Meanwhile, Kara is being stalked by Michael, but doesn't realize it. And, to make things worse, her little son is hearing a voice that says "Kill For Me". Who's going to survive THIS Halloween? Watch and see. Halloween The Curse Of Michael Myers is a very underrated Halloween film. It is propably (aside from Part 3) the least popular of the series, but I can't understand why. My least favorite film is actually Part 4. This movie is great, it's scary, funny, shocking, gory, mysterious. Everything to make a perfect horror film (including suspense). Yes, it's very hard to make to much sense of it, but that's what makes it more intelligent. And there is so much gore! I know Part 1 is famous for being almost completely bloodless, but blood was needed at this point. It's definetly the most extremly graphic of the whole series. But still, it's got a plot, and a fine plot, I must say. The Myers mask is back to normal, as is his house (where the Strode family is living). The man behind the mask this time, George P. Wilbur (Michael in Part 4), is far superior to that guy, Donald Shank, who played him in the fifth one. But, then, in H2O, the man behind the mak is HORRIBLE!! And YOU CAN SEE HIS EYES!!! But in this, you can't see Michael's eyes, and he's played eerily. Nice job Mr. Wilbur! As for this DVD, well, it's OK. No special features (aside from sneak peek trailers for H2O and the Scream Box Set), but it's presented in widescreen, and has nice, clear picture. I'm dieing to see that Producer's Cut, which is apparentally almost a different film. It'd be awesome to release a DVD with both versions on it, but for now, this one's OK. If I were you, though, I'd wait a little bit, and I'm sure they'll release the producer's cut. If you found my review helpful, don't forget to vote for me!!!!
Thank You!

Summary: HALLOWEEN: THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MEYERS
Review: "Pursued by the masked killer, Michael's niece escapes from mysterious catacombs with her new-born baby. Then he starts killing a family which has the misfortune merely to live in his former home." Sadly deficient in any worthwhile characters, all people you see are either stabbing-bag, or stabbing-bags-to-be. The angry father, nice mother and exiled daughter is so terrible cliché is hurt to watch. There are some redeeming characters, but it is so obvious they're going through tired motions. The setting and mood was excellent. John Carpenter should be extremely proud of his little piano notes. They keep you attentive. The film feels as though it as an artificial gloss, and it is distracting. But it looks nice. The blood and deaths are real, except the electrocution. There is no original-feeling music The whole movie left me with a terrible sour taste in my mouth. I felt used. RECOMMENDED: No - it may have the kills, but it has no substance.

Summary: Halloween 6...so much potential, so much unresolved...
Review: Of all the Halloween films, Halloween 6 is an adequate addition to the series, but a let down when the viewer realizes how good this film was or could have been. Watching it, one realizes that whatever the original story was, it has sadly been chopped to pieces making it difficult to follow in some areas. Apparently, much of the original plot was removed after Donald Pleasance's death and new scenes were shot, so the heroic figure of Dr. Loomis has a much reduced role. The movie introduces new interesting plot twists that were left unresolved by the writers of H20 and Halloween 8 (major frustration to true fans). The DVD is also sadly deficient of any special features that one would expect from a DVD. No trailers, no behind the scenes. The only way one will ever see the deleted scenes is if you are lucky enough to locate the legendary "Producer's Cut" which possesses much of the original plot. It's a decent movie all-in-all, but a poor DVD. I recommend waiting for a DVD with special features.

Summary: Same-o Same-o
Review: This movie was pretty good. It continues the story of Michael Myers trying to kill his niece which he finally succeeds in dooing however she has a kid of her own so Michael goes looking for the baby in Hadonfield on the night when they finally think it's safe to come out and play and celebrate Halloween. Turns into another bloodbath (although not nearly as many were killed)!

Summary: Scary and atmospheric sequel that will deliver the goods!
Review: They haven't made a bad HALLOWEEN movie yet. Each new sequel manages to be a stand-out above all other horror sequels, showing that effort is being made by the film makers. HALLOWEEN 6: THE CURSE OF MICHEAL MYERS is one of the finest and scariest HALLOWEEN movies in the series. Director Joe Chappelle creates moments of intense suspense and drenches the movie with haunting atmosphere. The script also introduces some very intresting and fun characters such as Tommy Doyle, Kara Strode, and of course the return of Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence in his final role). Viewers who are not familiar with HALLOWEEN 4 and 5 may find this movie a little confusing, so I do suggest watching the previous sequels first. H6 has a few plot holes, but nothing that can't be forgiven. If you get a chance, try and find the Producer's Cut bootleg which explains a lot more. But I do recommend this movie to people looking for good scares and a quality sequel.
Side Note: Avoid the DVD becuase it doesn't have ANY extras. Save a few bucks and go with the VHS for now.

Summary: Halloween: The Curse of Micheal Myers
Review: Hallowen the curse of Micheal Myers seems to have been made just to watch a stunt man in a Halloween mask cut people up. The film seemed to be jumpy in the storyline and trys to be bigger than it is. The chracters seemed like we supposed to know them, but the one we do know gets little screen time, Donald Pleasence as Dr. Loomis. The movie is much more slasher than the origanial it is based on. Only the people who want to view the complete series or need a quick bloodly movie buy this one. To me, it seems like it is a follow up to a recent movie that was a cliffhanger. The preceeding flim, however, came out about six years before, and the age of Jamie Lloyde would suggest an even greater gap. The plot is that Micheal Myers must kill the last surviving member of his family, his grand-nephew, to fulfill an ancient druid 'thorn' curse. The movie dosen't even seem to try to make sense, but I do go see these type of movies simply to see the classic killers in new surrondings. The 'producer's cut' of the film seems to make more sense according to the offical Halloween movies web site.
