Summary: Michael Rules!
Comment: I am a big fan of horror movies, although this wasn't one of the best, it is still good for watching.
Customer Rating:
Summary: NOT THE TRUE HALLOWEEN!!!
Comment: 4 WAS BAD...
5 WAS TERRIBLE...
but THIS?!
This is on a whole new scale of wrong...
The true Halloween was a story about Micheal killing people, BUT mainly after Jaimie Lee Curtis...
The true Halloween movies star Jaimie Lee...(1, 2, H20, Resurrection)
The True Halloween movies don't have a "dark satanic cult" in them...(i mean...and gang of evil druids...really people?)
The True Halloween movies don't have some insane, half mute, little girl who grows up and gets raped by Micheal Myers so that he can have a child to sacrifice to said "satanic cult"...
and don't even get me started on the "Man in Black" stuff...
It was a monotonous conclusion to a "trilogy" of "sub-plot" films that should have never entered the world or Micheal Myers and his reign of terror on Halloween...
Long live John Carpenters' original vision of true terror and evil!

Summary: Michael Myers Is Worshipped By Druids And Fans Alike
Comment: HAPPY THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY, MICHAEL MYERS!!!
Parts four, five, and six of the "Halloween" series are more enjoyable when watched together as a trilogy. As I said in my reviews of parts four and five, I pretend that all three occur in the bizarre and mysterious world of parallel time. (This would account for Laurie Strode's death and her daughter Jamie Lloyd.) Of the three films, part six is the best.
At the beginning of "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers," the viewer learns that six years have passed since the mysterious stranger massacred about a dozen police officers before blowing up the station. Jamie and Michael have disappeared and are presumed dead. Not true. They are living in a secret underground maze of chambers beneath an industrial complex. A Druid cult has been holding Jamie captive. She is approximately fifteen and is giving birth. With the help of a nurse, she escapes with the baby before they can sacrifice it. Michael manages to catch Jamie and kill her but not before she hides the baby. A paranoid, mentally disturbed Tommy Doyle (the little boy that Laurie Strode was babysitting on that fateful Halloween of 1978) manages to find the baby. He, along with Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasance), struggles to keep the baby out of the hands of the Druids. Meanwhile, relatives of Laurie have moved into the old Myers house and Michael begins slaughtering them one by one.
This film explains the curse that Michael was under when he stabbed his sister to death. It also explains why, according to the Druid religion, he must kill all survivors of his family. The body count is relatively high; the massacre in the hospital operating room is shocking. Throughout the film, there are creative death sequences that are accentuated by that awesome Halloween theme music provided by John Carpenter.
"Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers" is reminiscent of "Rosemary's Baby" and "Race with the Devil." The viewer learns that Druids are everywhere. They are watching over and protecting Michael. You don't know who to trust. Great acting from handsome Paul Stephen Rudd who portrays the adrenaline-pumped Tommy Doyle. Other actors of note include Mitch Ryan as Dr. Terence Wynn; Ryan was the original Burke Devlin on the gothic daytime soap opera "Dark Shadows." Susan Swift is Mary; Swift was excellent as Ivy Templeton in "Audrey Rose," a film dealing with reincarnation.
Unfortunately, the ending was rather bland and disappointing. It was left open for another sequel. However, the next sequel, "Halloween: H2O" does not begin where this one ended. Laurie Strode is alive and she has a son, not a daughter. Our brief excursion into the world of parallel time is over. We will never learn what became of Michael Myers and Dr. Loomis in that alternate universe.
"Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers" does have enough action and suspense to keep your attention. It is a must have for fans of holiday slasher fare and the legendary Michael Myers who, like Jason Voorhees, can not be killed.

Summary: a new tip 4 everyone
Comment: just a tip that box set IS NOT worth it. If you want all the movies> walmart has halloween 1 for $10, H-2, H-3 combo pack for i think $8.00 and then theres BEst bUY whom has H-4, H-5 for $15 ea. Walmart just got in recently a NEW odd never seen b4 till recent a box set of Halloween 6, 7, 8 combo for $15. Buy it if yur a hard core fan. Good $ price for 3 movies!! Plus just about anywhere has the 2007 vs of halloween for about $20 i think. so for bout $85 you can get all the Halloween movies if you got the $$$ and are a hard core fan! SOOOO wish a produceers cut of H=6 would come out. I heard its about 45min of additional footage that the theatrical release didnt show?? for whatever reason... SO there you go... AND another Halloween movie a sequal from last years (2007) will be out in 2009 i heard>?? who knows the more remakes and or ssequals they make there just ruining what few great halloween movies there are currently. If there going to make a sequal make one w/ john(josh hartnett) lauries son coming back and facing michael one last time or something like that. who knows what those joker producers will end up doing???
