Halloween - The Curse of Michael Myers description
The series premise continues to stretch so thin it could dissipate. This time, Michael Myers chases his unfortunate niece around, then goes after a family who happen to be living in his former home. This is slasher-ism at its most cynical, and a thoroughly unpleasant, unimaginative, and unredeeming movie. Donald Pleasence, the one holdover from the ori ... review details

THIS MOVIE WAS A CURSE
|
Halloween, the Curse of Michael Myers was one of the last movies I reviewed in my journalism career.
The red flags went up before I ventured into the theater. First, the disappointing end of the previous Halloween installment left me cold. Second, Danielle Harris did not reprise her role. Third, I heard Donald Pleasance died before completion of the film. Finally, my wife refused to go with me, saying Part V was just too bad for her. Like I said in that review, I should have listened to her.
Haddonfield is getting over its ten year moratorium on Halloween when Jamie escapes from captivity. Michael, apparently is sent after her.
Meanwhile, Loomis (Donald Pleasance) gets a gut feeling Michael has returned.
He meet with grown-up Tommy Doyle so they venture to find the secret of Michael Myers. Hopefully they will shed some light on the secret.
The secret is lamer than the script. In fact, this was the first mistake of this installment: trying to explain why he kills. Frankly, keeping the reason unknown as to why Michael Myers kills is what makes the franchise scary. The audience can fill in the rest.
By the end of the movie, I was so bored and disappointed. The hope of anticipation faded to oblivion. My favorite horror movie franchise, after a decent resurgence in 1988 and 89, seemed to have an ignoble death.
I have seen the producer's cut, but it did nothing to really redeem this horrid motion picture.
I'm not against sequels as long as they are done well. Why studios cannot see a bad script is beyond me. |
