Right off the bat I'd like to state that I like all of the Halloween movies that have to do with Michael Myers. He is by far my favourite slasher serial killer due to the fact that he is the most vulnerable. He can be hurt and possibly even killed. When hurt bad enough he goes into a coma so his body can heal itself. While he does possess super human qualities the viewer gets the impression that he can be killed.
Sadly Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers (H6) takes the story of Michael Myers, that was developing nicely through parts 2,4 & 5 and tries to do too much with it. The revelation of the Man in Black is disappointing and the movie tends to ask more questions then it answers. This entry tries to put to bed some of the story lines started in parts 4 and 5 but in doing so the conclusions it gives cause even more questions to be asked. This is due in part to the conclusions not being very clearly presented.
Overall the movie is okay. The director keeps Michaels presence felt by having Michael continuously shown to be present in many scenes by appearing for a moment in the background. It's nice touches like that that make the movie more interesting to watch.
Story wise the movie seems rushed. The director and writer capture a bit of the magic that made the original Halloween so much fun to watch but the story is far too convoluted to make much sense. Overall I give Halloween 6 a 5 out of 10. Halloween H20 is much better and makes for a nicely trilogy with parts 1 & 2. Apparently Halloween: The Homecoming is due for release this year (2002) and follows H20. Why can't they just leave well enough alone? H20 ended the story very nicely. I would however like to see someone clean up the plot holes that H6 made.
