Summary: Superb Scares!
Review: Kids in trouble, devil worshippers on the run... those are some of the sub-plots of (Halloween- The Curse Of M. Myers).
Michael returns to put an end to his remaining relatives who came to live in his old home (Hmmm!). . . A lot of gore won't save this flick from being a total flop!
By the way, Michael Myers unfortunate niece gets butchered in this one, finally.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Scarier Myers, but worst plot ever!
Review: Here is a short run down of the movie for those who haven't seen it. Micheals niece Jamie has been captured by the mysterious "Men In Black" druids, she has been impregnated and has a baby. After she has it, a nurse steals the kid from the druids and gives Jamie the baby. She than leads Jamie to exscape, however the nure soon comes to her end when a angry Micheal (beefed up and all; lay of the big macs) lifts her with 1 hand, and drives her head through a convienetly placed spike in the wall. Even with a head start, and extra time while Micheal disposes of the nurse, he catches up with his niece Jamie who justs happens to drive to Haddonfield. (WHY? WHY HADDONFIELD?) Micheal of course uses his great driving skills he some how picked up (he drives better than most females with licenses) and chases Jamie into a barn. Jamie almost makes her exscape again, but she accidently breaks a twig under her foot giving herself away. Micheal than shoves her into a grater and kills her (Finally! Took him 3 freakin' movies!!) he than searchers her truck she stole from a mechanic earlier (who happens to be killed by Myers; breaks his neck with his bare hands) and to no ones surprise the baby is GONE! This is where the movie really starts to [go downhill]...and you thought the first 5 minutes were bad. It's like I was watching a lesser Jamie Lee in part 1, we had the stair incident, except Micheal falls, and the same chase sceen where the door is locked. What really makes this movie horrible is the sub-plots. Druids, baby's,Tommy Doyle, this other kid, his mom, a angry father ... alot of sub-plots. Not to mention, the whole movie you see the killer. No surrpise killings. Its like you see it coming because YOU ACTUALLY SEE HIM IN THE BACKGROUND! NO POP-UPS, NO UNEXSPECTED KILLINGS! However I will say Wilbur, although hefty in the gut, played Myers perfectly for this film. Unlike the other films, where he was a stealthy, cunning killer..this plot was for a PSYCO, OUT OF CONTROL MANIAC! And it made for a scary Myers. By far, I was more scared of this Micheal than any others. He was bigger, meaner and faster. And also unlike others (except part 5 which [was] even worse than this one) he would even go out of his way just to kill. In part 1 it was just get Laurie, people bumped into him in part 1 and he just let them walk away, same with part 2. In this one, if you were within a mile..you were killed! He truely was a NUT in this film. But because it stretch so far from the normal Halloween plots, it was a horrible movie. Dr.Loomis (Donald Pleasence) was mis-used because of ill-ness and it was really sad to see him in such shape. Honestly, Id rather not have had him in this film because they showed him no respect, they left a legend in a film just to say he was in it, to put his name on the bill. They have him horrible lines, and no air time. Only good thing about this movie is the scary Myers, no other Halloween besides part 1 and 2 left me kinda scared. Honestly, after watching this one I still look behind my back everynow and then...lol......he is really scary. To bad the plot stinks, and even a extra scary Myers couldn't save this film. 2 stars is what it gets, 1 for the scary Myers and the other for a tribute to Donald Pleasence..god bless!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Tell me just one thing
Review: I am a bog haloween fan... have all the movies and everything, but why is that, that in halloween 4, 5, 6, Jamie Loyd is Laurie Strodes Daughter, and that in H20 she is not anywhere.. no pictures .. nothing!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A GREAT SLASHER MOVIE! A BAD HALLOWEEN MOVIE!
Review: It's not as bad as people say it is, but definatly copuld have been better. It is way to gory, when Halloween movies aren't supposed to be. There are also way too many killings. The death count is around 18, when the Producer's Cut version of the movie only had 8. There is also the stupid subplot of the Man In Black and Thorn which is Michael's evil. The Producer's Cut explains a lot more. It is gory, it is a kill-fest, and the plot is weak-- (thanks a lot Halloween 5, you just destroyed the series. All in all, though, it is teh perfect slasher movie, but it not a good Halloween entry, bu tthis movei is a good way to waste two hours.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: Micheal Myers`s Niece has been Kidapped and impregant by Micheal. Six years later, His Niece and His Baby has escaped and she returning to her home town. Since Micheal has found his niece and killed her but he didn`t find the Baby. Tommy Doyle (Paul Rudd in a Standout Role), the original survived from 1978. Has found Micheal`s Baby and Protecting the Baby. Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) been contacted by Tommy, and they know Micheal is back but one of the problems also is Myers Place has been restored and now a family lives there and Micheal is stalking them, one by one.

Directed by Joe Chappelle (Phantoms) made a fine Sequel, which he tried to make it Close to the Original & It was a small hit in Theaters back in 1995. This film has some answer were unexplained in the Original Halloween (1978) but there`s a Different Cut from the Producers, which it was more Explained and Has an Different Ending, that version will be Relased by Anchor Bay Entertainment in the Future.

Summary: Muddled sequel keep you guessing
Review: Six years after the massacre in "Halloween 5", Michael Myers comes out of hiding as niece Jamie Lloyd (J.C. Brandy stepping in for Danielle Harris) has a baby. As Michael stalks her, she calls a radio station that's airing a program about him and pleads for help from Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasance). He hears her and comes out of retirement to face his old nemesis, as does Tommy Doyle (Paul Rudd, picking up Brian Andrews' character from the original film) and the two of them attempt to stop Michael once more. This time around he sets his sights on the Strodes, kin of Laurie, who happen to live in his old house. (Which makes no sense when you think about it). While he dispatches the new tenants, we learn the identity of the cloaked man introduced in "Halloween 5" and Michael's connection to the Druids. Film underwent several cuts/changes prior to release, which leads to some incoherancy throughout. There is a more complete "Producer's Cut" around, but as of this writing it hasn't seen the light of day. I think introducing the subplot with the Druids was a big mistake, as it undermines John Carpenter's original vision of Michael Myers as a "blank slate", whose motives and reasons are known only to him. More suspense and scares than the previous installment, but what started out as a simple fable about a mindless killer has gotten pretty outrageous.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The story behind it all. Why hese doing it.
Review: I have wrote a review on everey halloween so far and this is the last one so ide better make it good.

Michael myers is back six years later for revenge. And jamie and the man in black have mysteriousley disapeared. Who was the man in black? Where did Michael go? Where did jamie go?. All to be revealed in this one the best on I rate it 5 star due to a suspicious clever film. A mysterious and diluded film? A slam to it's 6th film and it's 15th aniversary. Yes the shape (Michael) is back to seek revenge accept in this one everey one is going to tknow the truth. Who he is? Where he comes from? Why he did kill his sister? Whats wrong with him? Why doesent he speak? Whats that mark on his wrist and on the man in blacKs wrist.? And where did jameie go. Michaels big secret. WHY IS HE THE WAY HE IS WILL BE REVEALED. This is my favourite and there in the making of number eight at the moment it will be realeased in easter 2002. Know michael past has been hidden in the dark for over 30 years and nobody knows whats wrong with him. Whats his illnes. But this time there will be know more waiting. This film is the scariest. Has the most murders. HAS SCARIER MUSIC. AND HAS A BETTER AND CLEVEROR MICHAEL MYERS. SO WE CAN FINALEY SIT BACK AND LISTEN TO THE STORY UNREVEALL ITSELF FOR THE TIME IT HAS BEEN HIDDEN. MICHAEL IS VEREY WHEREY IN THIS FILM AND I RATE IN 5 FOR IT'S EXCELLENCEY AND POWERFULL SCRIPT WHICH WOULD OF SHOCKED WRITERS INTO PROPORTON THE FILM WILL AWATE THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great movie
Review: I have seen all the Halloween movies so many times I can recite dialogue with it... Despite what people say this is far from the worst of the series (Which as we all know that very awful Halloween part 3 was... what the hell were they thinking) A greta performance from Paul Rudd and in his final performance in the Halloween series Doneld Pleasance. I thought the sound and suspence made this film possibly the best Halloween film of all time!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: true terror never dies
Review: the scariest in the series but far from the best. halloween 6 to me is very good. i don't know why so many people don't like it. maybe because it was so graphic. to me that is what made the movie good. don't listen to everybody who says it was bad because it was very good. nowhere near as good as the original but still entertaining. give it a try. rated r for strong violence, strong language, sexuality and nudity.
