Horroctober 2012Enough of this Michael Myers bullshit!
-John StrodeIf Halloween 5 began filming with an unfinished script then this has to have started filming with no script. The movie is utter nonsense from opening to closing credit as it tries to tie in every loose end imaginable and attempts to even explain things that didn't need explaining. While it's doing that though, it offers no explanations for the various new crap it introduces us to.
The movie opens up with narration explaining that 9 year old Jamie Lloyd and Michael Myers disappeared six years ago with no trace. Apparently that cowboy dressed in black in the last film was actually part of a cult because we…

Halloween 5: The Revenge Of Michael Myers didn't do so great and when it came out the slasher genre was really on its way out. With that it took a full six years before we got our next Halloween movie. This time it was Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers. By now it seemed like horror movies had become ashamed of the high number of sequels so the 6 wasn't on the title this time around.
That's not the only thing this movie had to be ashamed of either. Boy was this one a stinker. You would think that with all the time between this and the last Halloween movie that they could of cooked up something good but that…

Near the beginning, a radio show host is discussing the Michael Myers murders and someone calls in or something and says "I hear the government shot Michael into space to get rid of him" and the host says "Michael Myers in space? Ridiculous!" which is hilarious because this movie came out a year or two before Pinhead and the Leprechaun went to space.
The rest of the movie is the absolute worst stuff you can imagine. It's less boring than part 5 and there's a couple of okay kills, though. So, I guess it's not THE worst.

“In memory of Donald Pleasance” reads the pre-credits tribute. Jesus, what a depressing thought. The man who single-handedly carried the Halloween series through the eighties has this, one of the worst slasher films of modern times, as his swansong. Combining thoroughly dislikeable characters, a ludicrous story, a staid by-the-numbers approach to filmmaking and a complete desecration of literally everything that made the original film so great, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers is a miserable and thoroughly lacklustre addition to the series. Picking up six years after the end of part five, it tries (and fails) to tie together some of the strands that were introduced as far back as the fourth film, whilst also offering something new but…

Most people seem to hate this one but I think it's pretty decent.

I actually really like this sequel, and it's NOT just because of Paul Rudd.

The fact that I was extremely drunk and still did not enjoy this movie makes me hate it even more.

Ritmo, buenas muertes, un Michael Myers más bestial que nunca,.. Es un gran comeback...! Y tiene a Paul Rudd!
En su contra están los motivos por los que volvemos a ver matar a Myers. A estas alturas no nos hacen falta pero raya un poco bastante el querer meter por medio una especie de secta del mal que lo quiere controlar. Casualmente, es una forma de conectar con la rebelde tercera parte (la que no tiene nada que ver con toda la saga) a través de los ritos paganos causantes del mito de Halloween.
El final es bastante simple y predecible.

Well.. that was weird. Also, what's up Paul Rudd :*

Halloween 6: The Curse Of Michael Myers is a jumbled mess of a movie. It tried to tie Michael Myers to an ancient Celtic cult using a mystic rune and a Man In Black and Paul Rudd and... daaaaah. It sucked. What hit the theater screens with a thud in 1995 was not the original vision of the writer and director. In fact, about 40 minutes of the theatrical cut consisted of material that was reshot after bad performances with test audiences. So, whatever became of the originally shot material? Well, you can watch it on YouTube in what is known as the Producer's Cut. Does this version make more sense? Is it better than the theatrical version? Lots of fans think so. They are dumb. It's not better, but it is interestingly different and worth checking out if you are a fan of the series or of slasher movies with confusing mystical nonsense in them.

This movie is interesting in a way, but more in how they tried to twist and bend the Halloween mythos and less in an ‘interesting to watch’ way. It has its bright moments, but overall it’s a pretty dull movie.
Are you used to an upbeat movie about teenagers having fun being interrupted by a killer? Well, there’s none of that here, since here it’s mostly just miserable people being put out of their misery.
The writer obviously tried to do something interesting with the series, but what we end up is the bleakest Halloween movie possible, with an irritatingly cliché cultism inserted, which offers the worst possible explanation of Michael’s source of evil power. If you’re trying to be this very straight-faced slasher, you shouldn’t bring up concepts as idiotic as semi-druid occultism."I knew what he was, but I never knew why."

''When Michael Myers was six years old, he stabbed hs sister to death. He was locked up for years in Smith's Grove Sanitarium, but he escaped. Soon after, Halloween became another word for mayhem!''
Film #21 of The December Project
Earlier this week, I reviewed 'Detroit Rock City' in which I contemplated weather or not that film was directed by a monkey on acid (I like to call him Gregory) well after finally seeing 'Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers', a film I have intentionally avoided for the longest time, I think I may have discovered Gregory the Acid Ape's debut feature.
The sixth film in the 'Halloween' series sees a heavy focuses on the cult behind Michael Myers' killings…
