| In 1995, director Joe Chappelle had directed the sixth installment to the HALLOWEEN franchise entitled: HALLOWEEN: THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS.
Six years ago, Halloween Night of 1989, Michael Myers once again wrecked havoc in Haddonfield, Illinois, where he tried to kill his nine-year-old niece, Jamie Lloyd, for the second time. But she, again, got away. But once it was settled, something happened: A man in black killed every cop in the station and released Michael. After his release, someone had hidden Michael and Jamie away.
Now, JAMIE LLOYD (played by J.C. Brandy) is impregnated with the child of the man in black. She has the baby, where the man in black holds a ritual, where the baby, when he reaches the age of six, will become what Michael is now, but the baby was taken by a nurse, interrupting the ritual. She takes the baby back to Jamie and helps her get out. MICHAEL MYERS (again played by George P. Wilbur, who made the appearance in the fourth film) finds the nurse and kills her. Jamie exists the building and gets into a truck and drives off with her baby.
Back in Haddonfield, Illinois, there is a family now living in the Myers house. This family is the Strode family. JOHN STRODE (played by Bradford English) is the man who bought the house. John's brother is the one who adopted Laurie Strode. John has a son named TIM (played by Keith Bogart) and a daughter named KARA (played by Marianne Hagan). Kara has a son named DANNY (played by Devin Gardner). He has visions of the man in black. Kara checks on Danny and goes back to get ready for bed, while listening to the BARRY SIMS (played by Leo Geter) SHOW. Across the street is a boarding house. Residing there is...TOMMY DOYLE (played by Paul Rudd). Tommy was the one, whom Laurie Strode was baby-sitting that Halloween night back in 1978.
DR. SAM LOOMIS (again played by Donald Pleasance, in his last starring role) is also listening to the show. He gets a late visitor: TERRANCE WYNN (played by Mitchell Ryan). They talk, but their conversation is interrupted when the next caller on Barry's talk show is...Jamie. She warns that Michael is coming to Haddonfield and asks if Dr. Loomis is out there.
Jamie drives off again, trying to save herself and her baby. Michael comes up behind her and crashes into her. Jamie is unharmed. She gets out and goes inside a barn. She walks through the barn, quietly, until she steps on something, making a noise. Michael appears behind her and finally kills his niece. He goes out to get the baby, but it turns out that Jamie had purposely left the baby at the bus stop.
The next morning, Kara and Tim head off to school with BETH (played by Mariah O'Brien), where they attend college. Kara looks at one Danny's drawings that is some sort of representation to Michael
Kara returns home and finds Tommy with Danny. Tommy has found Jamie's baby and has decided to care for the baby, starting off by naming him Steven. Earlier, Tommy had ran into Dr. Loomis, where the two had set up a meeting, where they can help track down Michael and put an end to him. Tommy takes Kara and Danny back to his house across the street. There, Tommy explains why Michael is doing all this. When he was born, he was taken into a cult and was inflicted with the curse of THORN. The THORN symbol is tattooed to his right wrist. The curse was to have Michael kill his entire family. He has done so, with the exception of his grandnephew...Jamie's son. Tommy then leaves to meet with Dr. Loomis.
At the fair, where Tommy is on his way to meet Loomis, Tim and Beth are at a party, where Barry Sims will be appearing to help the town of Haddonfield to forget that Michael ever existed, thinking that Michael is dead. Beth and Tim sit up onstage with Barry, but Barry turns out to be more of a chauvinist pig than a radio DJ. They decide to bring the show to the Myers house. Beth and Tim return home, where they have sex. Tim goes to get a shower. As he steps out, Michael slashes his throat. Beth is still in Kara's room. Kara calls, with Beth answering the phone. Kara pleads with Beth to get her and Tim and out of the house, but Michael appears behind Beth and kills her. Kara then finds Danny running over there. Kara runs over, gets Danny and has a run in with Michael. Tommy and Dr. Loomis arrive at Tommy's where they hear Kara and Danny knocking at the door. They enter the house and try to find the baby. The man in black is with Danny. It turns out that the man in black from this film and the previous film is...Dr. Terrance Wynn.
Kara and Danny are kidnapped and taken to Wynn's hospital. Dr. Loomis and Tommy arrive at the hospital, where Dr. Loomis talks to Dr. Wynn, but Dr. Loomis is knocked unconscious. Tommy finds Kara, Danny, and the baby, as they witness Michael slaughter every doctor in sight. As Kara and Danny run with the baby, Tommy beats the hell out of Michael with a fat pipe, Michael seems to be unconscious long enough for him and the others to escape. Dr. Loomis helps Kara, Danny, Tommy, and the baby escape, but decides not to go with them. He enters the hospital and finds Michael's mask lying on the floor.
This sequel was definitely a worthy follow-up and another fright fest. Sadly, Donald Pleasance, the man who has played Dr. Sam Loomis since the first film, had passed away when this film was finished shooting. He was an amazing actor and he will be sadly missed by his true fans. We Love & Miss You, Donald. |

| Rating | | | Date | April 11, 2005 | | Summary | Poor addition to the Halloween series | Content
| The sixth movie in the Halloween series called "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers" is not a good horror movie at all...in fact, this movie is about as terrible as the "Halloween 5", "H2O" and "Halloween Resurrection", and in some instances, even worse. Despite the fact that there are a couple of good death scenes in the beginning, the movie's storyline and plot are absolutely pathetic and uncreative.
In this movie, the screenwriter brings back the character of Tommy Doyle, who was the little kid being babysitted by Laurie Strode in the original masterpiece "Halloween", but the screenwriter makes poor use of Tommy and his character is ridiculous in this flick. At least there was some connection to the original, but that doesn't help the fact that the plot is stupid. Indeed, the core problem with this movie is that the script is so horrible that the movie is totally unconvincing and fails to sustain any interest in the audience whatsoever...it's just a bunch of random acts with no meaning. And, I don't even want to go into this stupid "baby" theme because that is just totally lame.
Part of the movie's problem is due to the horrible acting, in particular the actor who starred as Tommy...all of the acting aside from Donald Pleasance was exceptionally poor in this flick and more so than in the prior installments to this series. But, the bottom line is the movie is just totally nonsensical because the script is dumb, therefore no level of acting could save this movie from its terribleness, not even Donald Pleasance. The characters are stupid, insipid and completely undynamic to go along with this ridiculous storyline.
There is no "Halloween" theme or feel to this movie whatsoever and the movie is just totally lost in a perpetual state of disorganization with poor direction and a total lack of development. The ending is particularly horrible, so bad that I can not even rehash it for you...it is just beyond stupid. Simply put, do not waste your time on this trash. |

| this film is such a mess it had too many story lines coliding together lots and lots of errors to the halloween series plot it did not even feel like a halloween film it kind of felt like a cheap si fi film. you basically are put back in the town after six years introduced to completley new charecters and the worst part is that they made a thing callled the thorn to try to explain why michael myeres kills but failed. in all the halloween films they never gave the smallest clue about this thorn group only halloween 5(which was the last halloween before this one) gave verry litle hints but even the producers of halloween 5 did not know what it was. thank god three years later they decited to make halloween h20(which was the halloween movie that came after this one)which completley ignored this one and went to the laurie plot line although i wish they did not ignore halloween 4 and halloween 5 but still a good movie. Skip this one and part three which both almost ruined the series. watch the rest ecpecailly the original classic the first halloween. |
