It had cool scares but the story was just horrible common Michael Myers shouldn't be controlled by anybody and especially because of that stupid thorn idea that came from part 5. They should have just dropped all of that. First time I saw it I never hated it I just had a strong dislike for it and don't dislike as much as i did now. But still hated the story Donald Pleasence deserved to be in a better film then this disappointing film should have been better.
I also own the theatrical version on dvd as well and again I still enjoyed and besides Donald Plesence I thought Paul Rudd was the best new face to reintroduce to the series and sence Dr. Loomis passes away(R.I.P.) I thought Tommy could have been the new ahab of the series.
I really enjoyed this one, the story wasn't as strong but the scares were great!!! I think this movie deserves a lot more credit. Definitely recommended!!!
A lot of people like to hate on 'Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers'. I'm here to say you should reserve all of those creative put-downs for 'Halloween 5'; 'Resurrection'; and 'Rob Zombie'. Yes, the sixth entry is fucking weird, and yes, there are some pretty ridiculous explanations put forth for your viewing confusion... but let's try and focus on what little "that was pretty cool" to take away from this. First off, it's more watchable than Part 5. Second, Mikey Myers is PISSED in this outing, and it shows by body count and the ways in which he dispatches stock characters. Third, the wonderfully brilliant Paul Rudd stars as a quarter-life version of Tommy Doyle. Director Joe Chapelle maintains a dark, brooding tone throughout and that alone should be commended. I loved the scene where the Strode mom tries to get away through the laundry and is met by Myers with an axe. FACE! I giggled watching Donald Pleasance run around crazy as ever, then felt bad for the old codger in the credits when I realized he croaked during this. This is a film that has some classic 'Halloween' moments, but as a whole is WAY troubled in its storytelling, horrible soundtrack, and annoying characters. Michael as a druid is very lame, but Michael taking out an entire hospital staff with a surgical machete is awesome.
