Summary: True fan
Review: this movie wasn't terrible, BUT are we really supposed to believe that Michael is tied in with a druid cult? I don't think so! The 1st Halloween worked so well because of it's lack of gore and it was very suspenseful. Now, it seems the more gore a movie has, the scarier it is. What a shame. True fans of Halloween will agree with me. Not "hardcore fans" who like a movie with blood and guts but no plot. The man in black turned out to be Dr. Wynn. Who in the hell is this guy? He is in the original for about 5 seconds and now pops up all of the sudden? And where in the hell was Tommy Doyle at in Parts 4 &5? If he is so obsessed with Michael, then how come we don't see him until now? And you mean to tell me that the Strode family is living in the Myers house and don't EVEN know it's the Myers house? If you really want to be entertained, watch Halloween 1, 2 and H20. H20 does us all a favor and pretends parts 4, 5,and 6 don't exist. you should to and forget this one!

Summary: How can anyone take this movie seriously?
Review: "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers" fares better than the dismal and boring "Halloween 5", but it messes up the story so much and pours so much blood and gore onto the screen, that there is no suspense and terror at all. Just really sick deaths.The plot: Six years after the end of "Halloween 5", Michael Myers' niece, Jamie Lloyd (JC Brandy), has a baby (whose baby it is I have no idea) to be used as a sacrifice to the Thorn God or something like that. Seems Michael is part of the Thorn Cult and is being protected by the man in black (that stranger we saw walking around the streets of Haddonfield in Part 5). Anyway, Jamie escapes with Michael hot on her trail all the way back to Haddonfield. He then finds out relatives of the people who adoped Laurie Strode (remember, Jamie Lee Curtis' character from the original film) are living in his old house. He goes after them with various weapons. Enough said, the story gets way too confusing after that. This one sucks. If there is any way to totally destroy a series, this is how you do it. Thanks Joe Chapelle. Way too many plot holes. For instance, what are the fetuses for? What is the green stuff that Tommy Doyle (Paul Rudd) injects Michael with? How did Dr. Loomis get to Haddonfield so fast? Why does Jamie look like she is 25 when she is supposed to 15? Why does Michael have a different mask yet again? All of these are never really answered. The death scenes are disgusting. If you thought that "Halloween II's" scenes were bad, this is 10 times worse. We have a spike in the head, a man getting his head twisted off, an exploding head, an axe to the face, and the list goes on. Michael just kills for the sake of it. It's actually pretty pathetic. The acting is awful. Even Donald Pleasence, who looks horrendous, couldn't save this one. The Strode family are wackjobs, the mother is spineless, the father is a swearing abusive alcoholic, the son is just a loser. The kid named Danny, who is Kara's son, says "mommy! mommy!" throughout the whole entire picture, and don't even get me started on the man in black (try not to laugh too hard when you find out who he is). Anyway, this is followed by "Halloween: H20" which, thankfully ignores the Thorn stuff and reintroduces us to Jamie Lee Curtis' character to see what she has been up to in the last 20 years.

Summary: Halloween Sequel Scares Up Enough Shocks to be Presentable
Review: Okay, so you won't see the sixth installment of the Michael Myers Halloween series charting any year-end top ten lists. But despite it's many faults, a multitude of cheap shocks not being the least of which, Curse remains as much a guilty pleasure today as it did five years ago. So why's it so respectable? Maybe it has something to do with the low standards set by the previous three sequels but this supposedly (we all no better now) final chapter actually makes an attempt at a cohesive story. It's well paced if not all that coherent and at 88 minutes is just the right length for a slasher movie of this kind. If you can bear the first five minutes or so (especially fans of the orginal who must cringe at the notion that Michael is tied to an underground Druid cult) things pick up from there. Bodies fall at the wayside as Michael slashes his way through teens by the dozens. Our central protagonist, though if you're anything like me you're rooting for Mike, consist of Dr. Loonis (that's not a misprint!) whose apparently grown increasingly eccentric through the years, a single mother with an abusive father and uneviable address and Billy - one of the last surviors of the original Halloween, though he's not played by the same actor. As you might expect the three band together for a dramatic climax that's a bit of a letdown but getting there's all the fun. By the way, listen for Leo Getter in a small role as a Howard Stern-esque shock jock whose running radio commentary gives the series some perpective as well as a dash of self-satire.

Summary: Good stuff
Review: I felt that this movie wasnt the best movie plotwise... I mean come on Laurie's Foster Parents moving into the myers old house! But i felt that it was the scariest in the series. This one and movie four are the scariest. I advise people to buy this DVD, it rocked on VHS and will on DVD.

Summary: ATTENTION HOLLYWOOD
Review: THIS FILM HAS A DIRECTORS CUT WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE 100 TIMES BETTER THEN THE PROCUCER'S SLASHED VERSION! WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE RELEASE THIS ON DVD! HALLOWEEN 6 IS AN AWEFUL FILM, BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THE DIRECTOR'S CUT IS EXCELLENT. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO PUT IT ON THE SHELVES FOR THE TRUE FANS TO SEE.

Summary: Back to Basics
Review: In 1988 Halloween 4 did what few sequels have the chance to do. Revive a dead series. And not only did Halloween 4 revive the franchise, it did it succesfully. What made Halloween 4 so amazing and adding to that, a classic scare fare in the vein of the first, was it's simple story, strong characters, suspense, and atmosphere. All the ingredients to a Halloween. Well, Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers did what Halloween 4 did, just as well. Halloween 6, though regarded as the weakest along with Halloween 3, is, in my opinion, one of the strongest. Its scary, the characters are terrific, and the atmopshere is at its strongest. There is plenty of suspense, and the story works well. There are some plot holes, but they are easliy forgiven for one hell of a fun and entertaining movie.

Summary: Meandering and tasteless slasher entry.
Review: Halloween is a classic movie in every sense, but each sucessive sequel becomes more and contrived and less concerned with scaring us and more with perplexing us with meaningless plot twists and wanton hokey drama. Halloween 6 involves not relatives of Michael Myers but now semi-relatives who happen to live in his house (which also is the third different "Myers house" in the series). But technicalities aside the film now intruduces a new evil culprate which is a cult of witches/warlocks who practice Celtic witchcraft, that control Myers' violent outings. While in the process of explaining this convoluted plot to us the movie forgets to create any likeable characters or creative scares (it resorts to the same old "boo" technique with the loud music). The film finally completes it's contrived reign with the standard chase scenes, oceans of carnage and lame one-liners. If you don't care in the least to positively stimulate the grey matter RUN! and get this movie! It truly is a trashy throw away.

Summary: Continues the plot mess from 5
Review: As if Halloween 5's plot wasn't confusing enough, what with the man in black, the thorn and what not, part 6 not only continues it, but makes it even more confusing. Hopefully, the DVD will have the infamous producers cut, or at least the deleted footage. Although I've heard that the reason they cut the footage was because it made the film, ready for this, "Confusing". Oh well. At least with 6 coming to DVD, the whole series will now be available. As for the film itself, it is better then 5 (which had Halloween turning into a typical mindless slasher series), and it is better than 7, simply because it isn't a yuppie Scream style movie with todays "Now" teen cast.
