Reviews for Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers
The film is so dark -- literally -- it's often hard to see what's going on.
08/27/07
The film's conclusion is, naturally, open-ended, to allow for Halloween 7, which will probably be subtitled Michael Myers Does a Pepsi Commercial.
01/01/00
Ah, skip it.
09/18/03
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.
08/04/07
Run-of-the-mill horror item is notable only for final appearance of the late Donald Pleasance
04/29/05
Top CriticSlicker than crude oil and just as unattractive.
06/24/06
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.'

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.

'Enough of this Michael Meyers B.S.!,' says a disgruntled Haddonfielder, as news spreads of the returning native son. Dream on.
02/14/01
Top CriticNeedless to say, the gore level is high and the scare level low -- although not as low as the intelligence level.
01/01/00
Top CriticAt least we care about these characters, even if we can't always make heads or tails out of what is happening.
01/27/02
As with most horror sequels, plot and narrative development are predictable.
06/05/02
Muddled sequel redeemed in part by Pleasence.
09/11/03
No review available.
09/17/02
There isn't a floorboard that doesn't creak, a person who doesn't hesitate to go down the basement, a killing that isn't telegraphed by scary music and laughable attempts at tension.
01/01/00
The less said about this sixth entry in the Halloween series, the better.
