Interesting, but you should check out the Producer's Cut!!!!Aug 17, 2005
By Jukebox Graduate
"gleep28"
An okay transfer of the movie on a bare-bones DVD.
Unfortunately, the makers of this disc decided NOT to include the alternate version that contains VERY interesting deleted and alternate scenes.
Check out the differneces here:

Hopefully a Special Edition of this film will be released that will feature both the Theatrical and Producer's Cut versions of this film.

 A First Rate Thriller. Up There With The Original.Oct 20, 2001
By Brett Michael Roberts
Halloween The Curse Of Michael Myers is my favorite Halloween sequel, and, despite having horrible reviews, is the second best of the series (the first being part 1, of course). The movie realized that the series was getting pretty dull by part 5, so it adds a lot of new plot twists, like Michael being involved in some cult called "Thorn" that makes one person kill every member of his family. You'll also find out in this one who the Man In Black really is (I'll give you a hint, he was in ONE scene from the original). The movie begins with Jamie Lloyd (no longer Danniele Harris, but J.C. Brandy) having a baby, which is then stolen by the man in black, who is going to make this baby Michael's sacrifice. However, a kind woman working there helps Jamie escape with her baby. This woman then meets her fate, impaled to a coat hanger by Michael Myers, who is now stronger and more enraged than ever!! Jamie does get away, and hides her baby at a bus depot, before she, to, meets her maker. Then, we go on to meet Kara Strode (Marriene Hagan) and her family. She's got a seven year old boy. She's going to college to make up for her past mistakes. Her father, John, dosn't approve of her staying at his place, where he already has two other people living, his wife, and his son, John (Bradford English). John Strode is an abusive alcoholic, who mistreats his entire family. Kara is a little bit creeped out by this man who's staring at her out his window. Well, this man happens to be Tommy Doyle (Paul Steven Rudd), who was being babysat by Laurie Strode when Myers attacked in 1978. He's a little messed up by this particular incident, and he thinks that Michael's returning. He was also listening to this particular radio show the night before, and recorded when Jamie screamed "Help Me" to the show. He tracks the area she was calling from down to the bus depot, where he finds her baby. Meanwhile, Kara is being stalked by Michael, but doesn't realize it. And, to make things worse, her little son is hearing a voice that says "Kill For Me". Who's going to survive THIS Halloween? Watch and see. Halloween The Curse Of Michael Myers is a very underrated Halloween film. It is propably (aside from Part 3) the least popular of the series, but I can't understand why. My least favorite film is actually Part 4. This movie is great, it's scary, funny, shocking, gory, mysterious. Everything to make a perfect horror film (including suspense). Yes, it's very hard to make to much sense of it, but that's what makes it more intelligent. And there is so much gore! I know Part 1 is famous for being almost completely bloodless, but blood was needed at this point. It's definetly the most extremly graphic of the whole series. But still, it's got a plot, and a fine plot, I must say. The Myers mask is back to normal, as is his house (where the Strode family is living). The man behind the mask this time, George P. Wilbur (Michael in Part 4), is far superior to that guy, Donald Shank, who played him in the fifth one. But, then, in H2O, the man behind the mak is HORRIBLE!! And YOU CAN SEE HIS EYES!!! But in this, you can't see Michael's eyes, and he's played eerily. Nice job Mr. Wilbur! As for this DVD, well, it's OK. No special features (aside from sneak peek trailers for H2O and the Scream Box Set), but it's presented in widescreen, and has nice, clear picture. I'm dieing to see that Producer's Cut, which is apparentally almost a different film. It'd be awesome to release a DVD with both versions on it, but for now, this one's OK. If I were you, though, I'd wait a little bit, and I'm sure they'll release the producer's cut. If you found my review helpful, don't forget to vote for me!!!!
Thank You!

 Halloween 6, one of twoFeb 20, 2000
By Camren T. Burton
Many people say that Halloween The Curse of Michael Myers is the worst of the entire series, but I disagree. In my opinion, the worst is Halloween III. This movie originally had a very different storyline from the version that people got to see, and they were severely deprived. The version of this movie that got released was well done, with George Wilbur (Halloween 4) returning as Michael, and Donald Pleasance in his last performance as Dr. Loomis, was well performed, but not very well explained. It seemed to me that Dr. Wynn was attempting to genetically engineer people to have Michael's form of strength, but I could be way off. I also thought the idea of Michael killing his sister's 'extended' family was a clever plot twist. Many people say this is the worst because they don't take the time to really observe the story. However, I think that Dimension Films would be real smart if they released the alternate cut of this movie on video & DVD. There is a summary and pictures from this version that can be found on the Halloween website. You might want to check it out. But this movie, while somewhat vague, is an excellent piece of the story of Michael Myers.

Now this is a Halloween movie!Jul 19, 2009
By Lee McCoy
No sequel in the Halloween series has divided fans more than part 6: The Curse of Michael Myers. You either love it or hate it, but I thought part 6 had everything a Michael Myers movie should have. It was extremely suspenseful, Michael was arguably in his scariest form, the acting was good for the most part, and it left you wanting more. When I saw H6 in the theater, I couldn't wait for the sequel to find out what happened. Unfortunately the producers decided to abandon the whole storyline from parts 4 through 6 in order for Jamie Lee to reprise her role as Lorie Strode in the teen friendly H20. So we'll never get a proper sequel.
Personally, it's one of my favorite and most watched in the series behind parts 1 and 4. I just wish we could get a blu-ray release which includes the Producer's cut. I highly recommend adding Curse to your Halloween collection.

Donald Pleasence's last time as "Dr. Sam Loomis".Oct 21, 2004
By James McDonald
Warning: This film contains subliminal quick shots.
Donald Pleasence returns again to play "Dr. Sam Loomis". The character of "Jamie Lloyds" is now played by J.C. Brandy.
The boy who was terrorized by "Michael" in the first "Halloween" (1978) film, the character of "Tommy Doyle" is now being played by Paul Stephen Rudd.
Jamie is now a woman and is having a baby boy in an undisclosed location. A satanic rite tries to keep the child, but a scared blonde lady tries to help Jamie escape with her baby. Michael is after Jamie again. She calls a radio station to warn Haddonfield about Michael. Tommy Doyle is also listening to the radio station. He called them earlier to warn that Michael is not finished with Haddonfield. Tommy was also being voyueristic looking through a telescopic camera lens at Kara Strode (Marianne Hagan), perhaps for her own safety. Danny Strode (Devin Gardner) is a child that can also see visions of Michael Myers.
Tommy happens to find the baby he calls "Stephen" and reconnects with Dr. Sam Loomis who he hasn't seen since that horrid Halloween night in 1978. Together they will try to kill Michael Myers and the curse of him.
Also in the cast: Mitch Ryan, Kim Darby, Bradford English, Keith Bogart, Mariah O'Brien and Janice Knickrehm.
George P. Wilbur plays "Michael Myers" again (Halloween 4).
A. Michael Lerner played "The Shape". In other words, he played "Michael Myers" in a few scenes.
Donald Pleasence died on February 2, 1995 in France from complications from heart valve replacement surgery.
The next "Halloween" films are:
Halloween H2O: 20 years later (1998) where Jamie Lee Curtis returns in her original role of "Laurie Strode" from Halloween (1978) and Halloween II (1981) and briefly in Halloween - Resurrection [VHS] (2002).
Rob Zombie's Halloween (2007)
Rob Zombie's Halloween II (2009).
Update: Halloween III will be released October 26, 2012. Director is Patrick Lussier.
