The quick pitch: After a six year hiatus, Michael Myers returns to slice and dice his way through Haddonfield. There’s also some nonsense about Tommy Doyle (from the first Halloween movie), a baby, a man in black, and a cult called Thorn.
It’s really hard to fathom how the Halloween series went from the atmospheric brilliance of the original film to the Gawd-awful mess called Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers. I really don’t have much of anything positive to say. Most importantly, the script is a disaster. I know there’s a longer cut out there that’s supposed to clear-up some of the problems with the script, but no thanks. I’m not going to watch an extra 45 minutes just to get more on the utterly ridiculous man in black and Thorn. Who could care less? You have to work hard to write a Halloween script that’s this boring, predictable, and unscary. Add to that mostly bad acting, unlikable characters, silly dialogue, terrible music, and a complete lack of logic, and you’ve reached the absolute nadir of the Halloween series.
Watching Paul Rudd in Halloween 6, it’s hard to imagine he would go on to have the career he has. He’s not very good here.
