What to Know

Critics Consensus

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers trades the simple, brutal effectiveness of the original for convoluted mysticism, with disastrously dull results.

John Hartl Seattle Times Instead of sending up the current glut of serial-killer movies, the filmmakers trot out the old slasher tactics. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 29, 2014 Full Review Derek Adams Time Out Slicker than crude oil and just as unattractive. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Daniel M. Kimmel Variety Run-of-the-mill horror item is notable only for final appearance of the late Donald Pleasance Apr 29, 2005 Full Review Kat Halstead Common Sense Media While not the worst of the series, it's unsurprising that the installment that followed three years later brought back Curtis to take a much stronger stab at getting the series back on track. Feb 22, 2024 Full Review Brian Rowe InSession Film Here’s an installment in the Halloween franchise with two vastly different versions—and they’re both bad. May 3, 2023 Full Review Cody Leach Cody Leach (YouTube) The commendable atmosphere is tainted by a ridiculous story and incoherent editing. This sequel is notorious for it's production issues and multiple cuts. It's unfortunate that neither officially-released cut is a good version of this movie.

thiago s filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, os personagens são fracos, o michael myers é bacana, colocaram o paul rudd que não era tão famoso na época que virou o tommy doyle a criançinha que tinha laurie strode como babá, mesmo com o paul rudd o filme não foi tão bom. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review mark g There is is truly awful and then there is even worse, we will use Halloween 6 to describe this new dimension of crap. I mean, the previous two were awful, but not this bad. Heck, everything that followed this sucked as well. See the original, dismiss all else. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review JACK B Halloween 6 was constantly mangled by the studio and it shows. Neither cut of the movie is complete, and both have incoherent editing, ridiculous story directions, and very odd performances. In contrast, there is some very good atmosphere, some brutal kills, and a great Myers performance and mask. A mixed bag for me overall. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Audience Member Probably one of the most boring Halloween films so far, even the 3rd had at least the advantage of having a little suspense. In addition, a sad end for the character of Professor Loomis played by Donald Pleasance, who (in addition to having had surgery to remove the burn on his face???) seems totally useless even though it is, from my point of view, the most interesting character in the saga. This sixth opus ultimately suffers from the biggest problem that slashers can have, an almost empty and uninteresting story added to a series of sleepy and suspenseless murders, which is the opposite of the first films... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Audience Member Halloween 6 is one of the better sequels in the series. It has a great Fall atmosphere and they made Michael Myers scary again. However, similar to Halloween 5, there were several bad creative decisions made in this movie Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Wayne K With a franchise as long-running as Halloween, there's bound to be a few duds here in there. Nobody bats 100, as the old saying goes. But with slasher films, things deteriorate faster than usual, and Halloween 6 completes a trilogy of flops. 4 was dull and workmanlike, 5 was ridiculous and implausible, and 6 combines the worst elements of both. 5 was the victim of a fraught and rushed production, but 6 feels like the story was made-up as they went along. The Halloween series was at its best when it was all about tension and suspense, stemming from an antagonist that was tough and ruthless but eminently human. Now he's basically invincible, with weak motivations and powers that includes telepathy and teleportation. The supernatural mumbo jumbo that's thrown in simply muddies the water, and the way it resolves essentially renders the storyline redundant anyway. Much is made of the villain reveal, but the character does nothing of consequence afterwards and, predictably, is killed by the world's angriest masked man. It's a boring, convoluted story with subpar acting, forgettable characters and bottom of the barrel production values. It's a film with no good reason to exist and seems to have been made with that fact in mind. Not many franchises reach 6 instalments, and even fewer get there with their quality or relevance intact. If Halloween 6 proves anything, it's that no matter how popular or successful it may once have been, no series is exempt from the law of diminishing returns.
