Summary: Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers-Review
Review: "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers" is the 6th installment in the famous "Halloween" horror series. Set in 1995, we find out that Jamie had a baby, and that Tommy Doyle is in his 20's. We now find out why Michael kills: he is possessed by the Thorn cult. After killing Jamie, his quest is finding her baby and killing him. But he'll have to put up one hell of a fight with Tommy Doyle for baby Stephen. Starring Paul Stephen Rudd ("Clueless", "Romeo & Juliet") and Donald Pleasence ("Halloweens" 1, 2, 4, and 5), "Halloween 6" is a great addition to the slasher series that started it all.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: all trick, no treat
Review: I have been a fan of the Hallween series every since the original was released in 1978. I try to give sequels as much credit as possible. Halloween's 2,3,&4 were respectable sequels that helped keep the franchise going for two decades. However, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers is one I would rather forget about. This is the worst sequel in the series just behind Halloween 5. The beginning is vague and pointless while the ending is a complete disaster. The movie thrives on extreme gore, which is not something Halloween has used in the past. The original is practically bloodless and yet considered a classic. The film tries to introduce a reason behind Michael Myers' evil ways which only complicates the story even more. One good thing about this film is that it can be left out of the series and you wouldn't even miss it. Trust this Halloween fan, this movie stinks from beginning to end. Thank goodness Steve Minor was able to salvage the series with Halloween H20!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: almost the best
Review: Halloween: The Curse of Micheal Myers is the sixth film in the Halloween series and is one of the scariest. It centers around Micheal trying to find his neice's baby daughter who is being protected by Tommy Doyle (played by Paul Rudd) a survivor of the first film. Dr. Loomis is also there once again played wonderfully by Donald Pleasance. There are many scares and it looks great in its widescreen format on this DVD. This stands up to the awesome first film and keeps the series at its great level of quality. Buy this and you will not be dissapointed.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: About H6
Review: I think that this movie is not so bad as others say but its something what bothers me is that this movie have 2 diffrent endings (H6Producers cut) and the normal one H6 is completly diffrent movies but still I loved both of them.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Halloween picks up the pace again with its sixth entry
Review: This is a great entry to the Halloween series because of the return to Haddonfield. The blood is relentless, but not really pointless. Also the stabbings look very realistic. Its great fun, go out and get it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not the best, not the worst.
Review: Although Dimension butchered it from the original, it is not the worst in the series (that would be 3 and 5).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent movie!
Review: This is one of the highlights of the entire Halloween series. Despite bad reviews and not very good directing, this story has everything. A new revelation in the Halloween mythology, great acting, great chemistry and an exciting finale. It's also the sequel closest to the feeling of the original. Everyone thinks that this is a low point but me and everyone I know think that this excellent! The only low points are Halloween III and Halloween 5.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Halloween 6 : made by people who don't care...
Review: This is what happens when producers stop careing about a horror film series. You get quite a lot: A sub-par story, miserable photography, and a lot of gore, which I believe was put there to take your mind off of how sorry every other aspect of the film is. Plesence looks as though he doesn't even want to be involved with the film. When I saw this in the theater, It was a serious disapontment. watching it at home can't be much better. If you want to see a good sequel, Buy Halloween 2.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Cursed Indeed
Review: I'll start off by insisting the "Halloween" films should have been a trilogy of the original, H2 and H20. That said, this movie actually angered me when I saw it in the theatre and again on video. What once had been a genuinely frightening, well-scripted, brilliantly-directed horror film had just been completely "butchered" (pun intended).

In "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Meyers," Michael has been reduced to the same level of numb idiocy that his cousins Jason and Freddy reached as they were spun out sequel by sequel. Michael's entire appeal as a mindless "evil machine" gets trounced when his motivations are so unfortunately EXPLAINED. Are those people Druids at the beginning? The whole thorn tattoo and baby sacrifice are beyond ridiculous. "Dr. Loomis, how do you know Michael is coming back THIS year?" "Well kids...it's written in the stars!"

Donald Pleasance has one foot and 4 toes in the grave in this film, which lead me to hope that Michael would just gut him and put him out of his misery. Poor Doc Loomis spends most of the film trying to get up from a variety of sofas. The death scenes are laughably stupid...death by washing machine was my favorite. I also loved that the town had BANNED Halloween as if all shop owners peddling Hershey miniatures would be hauled off to the pokey. Any child caught watching "Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin" will be grounded for a week!

Disjointed, excessively gruesome (there was actual sound during a throat-cutting scene), laughably un-scary and a damn inappropriate tribute to Donald Pleasance...Halloween 6 is a bomb in the truest sense. Thank GOD, the franchise was saved by "H20."
