    Bogged down by ridiculous plotting involving warlocks, druids and Thorn that have no place in a movie about a villain who is supposed to be 'purely and simply evil.'

    The series' nadir...nothing but a delivery system for murder and half-glimpses of naked women.

    The film is so dark -- literally -- it's often hard to see what's going on.

    The revelation of the Man in Black and the film's attempt to explain the origin of Michael Myers were the only points of interest here.

    Slicker than crude oil and just as unattractive.

    Run-of-the-mill horror item is notable only for final appearance of the late Donald Pleasance

    Although the series has obviously run out of steam, the ending leaves the door open for Michael's return. Really, it's about time the masks were removed once and for and all.

    It is still not a 'good' film. But it is generally competent -- that is, it appears to have been made by grown-ups, not by retarded preschoolers.

    Muddled sequel redeemed in part by Pleasence.

    Yet another sequel no-one needed; too bad Donald Pleasance didn't stick around long enough to live it down.

    Thus proving, yet again, what an amazing job Carpenter did on the original.

    As with most horror sequels, plot and narrative development are predictable.

    At least we care about these characters, even if we can't always make heads or tails out of what is happening.
