Summary: The dark past of Michael Myers
Review: In Halloween: the curse of Michael Myers, we finaaly know the secret behind the Thorn and discover wgho the mysterious "man in black" is. Michael goes on one of his brutal and terrifying killing sprees looking for the baby of his niece Jamie, who he needs to kill in order to complete his "work". The movie was well done and kept in the tradition of all the other Halloween movies! Highly recommended!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: An Unimaginative Sequel To A Very Successful Franchise
Review: Halloween 6 attempts to squeeze water from a stone in its approach to the Halloween franchise introduced by John Carpenter and Debra Hill. The movie, a dis-jointed plot with a smattering of underdeveloped characters and predictable, often unbelievable scenes, is a failed attempt to explain the origins of Michael Myers.

The film begins with the birth of a child, the last in the Myer's lineage, within the bowels of a hospital in which Michael Myers has been secretly hidden away for 10 years. The child belongs to Michael's niece, formerly seen in the earlier sequels Halloween 4 and 5. As the story unfolds, we are to realize that Michael, like this new child, was born as part of a cult that is run by a bunch of aging doctors who are trying to uncover a means to immortality. Are you lost? Or disenchanted? Join the club.

To be fair, there are moments when the sets, color and style of the film is genuinely appealing, but these moments are few and far between. Largely the characters are difficult to relate to, or so non-dimensional we simply don't care for them. As a result, the movie uses the lowest thrill tactic of the genre-gore. In place of building suspense, the film attempts to use graphic violence to induce a thrill...instead, it induces disgust, not at the imagery, but at the lack of the filmmakers imagination.

In viewing the Halloween films, begin with Parts 1 and 2, then move directly to Halloween H20, bypassing the other four films in-between. You will save yourself a lot of time and disappointment.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: THIS LOOKS LIKE IT SHOULD'VE WENT STRAIGHT TO VIDEO
Review: IN THIS ONE, MICHAEL MYERS FINALLY KILLS HIS NIECE, BUT THAT'S NOT THE END, HE'S NOW LOOKING TO KILL HER BABY. THIS IS A HUGE IMPROVEMENT OVER #5 BUT THAT'S NOT SAYING MUCH. THIS MOVIE IS BORING MOST OF THE TIME, AND DONALD PLEASANCE REALLY LOOKS BORED THIS TIME AROUND. THE WAY THIS ONE WENT, THIS COULD'VE WENT STRAIGHT TO VIDEO. SADLY, THIS WOULD BE DONALD PLEASANCE'S LAST APPEARANCE AS DR. LOOMIS AND IT WOULD ALSO BE HIS LAST FILM EVER. HE DIED SHORTLY AFTER THIS MOVIE WAS COMPLETE. R.I.P. DONALD PLEASANCE. YOU DESERVED MUCH BETTER FOR A MOVIE THAT WAS GONNA BE THE LAST OF YOUR CAREER AND LIFE.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A pretty good halloween film!
Review: This is a good film with good acting and a good story. They don't introduce new characters very well. Not for kiddies under 14, it has brief nudity and plenty of gore for all you hardcore horror movie fans. What seperates halloween films from other slasher films is that it actually has plot and is not just mindless killings like in scream. If anyone wants to talk to me about halloween movies my AOL screen name is LittleNicky153

Summary: Can we say high point?
Review: Besides parts 1 and 2, part six is by far the best installment yet. I think that fans haven't given this one a chance because it's a little different then the light hearted part 4 and almost comedic part 5. Halloween 6 is dark and scary. The DVD lowers my movie rating by a half star. No extras were available, no deleted scenes from the 2 hour long director's cut were even added, no trailers, no behind the scenes, no teaser trailers, no sneek peak at the directors cut, no production notes, no commentary, no 2.35:1 widescreen, not even fully restored! This DVD looks exactly like my VHS except the blacks look more solid during the night scenes. Overall, good movie, terrible DVD, wait for New Line or Anchor Bay to release the 2 disc director's cut special edition, that will be worth the G's, ...

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: sAM's review on Halloween 5
Review: Hiya every1 it's sam hear id like 2 tel ya abit about halloween 6. Im a massive fan of michael myers an this film gets no credit. Of herd that this was the worset film in the series. Thats not true.

Michael returns and doesnt disapoint in my opinoin. I have to say that some of the acting is "cheesy" but overall a great friday night movie. Lots of killings and very jumper as well.

Summary: A good slasher film does not make a good Halloween film.
Review: This movie has it's moments, but it is just to confusing and not scary enough to be considred a strong showing in the Halloween franchise. I have always enjoyed the Micheal Myers character, and his performance within Halloween 6 saves this movie from being outright terrible. Some of the most imaginitive and disgusting deaths in slasher film history occur within this film. It's just to bad none of the other characters are that interesting and the story is a chaotic mess. I recommend this to any real slasher flick fan, no matter how much better it could have been.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Better and Scarier Than the Fifth
Review: Not as bad as I thought it was going to be when I first rented it.It is most likely the darkest and most evil Halloween yet (including Ressurrection which was at all good).In this Halloween it explaines Michael's hatred and rage which is why I thought this was better than Halloween5 which had some guy walking around in black and a sign on Michaels hand which completely makes you confused.Do not think of this movie as being bad please.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: PRODUCERS CUT DID BETTER BUT ORIGINAL CUT IS ALRIGHT
Review: Where's the Producers Cut it is much cooler,but Rated R version is alright.it stars Jamie having a baby and when Michael chases her in a barn he kills[she survived in producers cut].and Michael kills his relatives and looks for the baby.this one is the scariest one with scenes dealing with suspense and gore.but producer's cut should be arriving soon.Rated R for Strong Violence and Gore,Language,some Sexuality/Nudity,and Disturbing Images.
