Six years later after Michael Myers being thought dead, Jamie Lloyd (J.C. Brandy) has grown up but was raped by a hooded gang of evil druids and was impregneated. She has gave birth to a boy whom Michael and the druids wants to kill as she escapes from their wrath, leaving the baby to be orphaned and Jamie to die. The Strode family has moved in the Myers house where they think it's safe until Michael returns to Haddonfield, Tommy Doyle (Paul Rudd) whom was one of the survivors in the original "Halloween" has grown up as he has an obsession with the history of the Myers family as he joins up with Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasance) with Kara Strode (Marianne Hagan) to protect the baby and battle against the mysterious man-in-black and Michael Myers.
A disappointing and disjoined sequel that doesn't measure up to most of the sequels especially the much maglined "Halloween III", most fans say this is one of the worst Halloween movies ever. The editing is kind of bad and some parts of the film just doesn't make sense, although i hear there's a "Producer's Cut" which helps improve on the film including an alternate ending, too bad this was Donald Pleasance final film before he died in 1995 whom was a great actor. The subplot behind Michael is interesting but dumb at the same time behind this movie, it's still preety bad but not as bad as "Resurrection".
This DVD contains good sound and picture with no extras and not even alternate/deleted scenes or trailer.

Before Dimension got smart with their horror movies they tried to reive the Halloween franchise. Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers was an already dead horror franchise. The cast here is horrible and the deciison to kill of the charcter of Jamie was stupid. The film does have some decent kills but it lacks some good old fashioned T&A and the plot was all over the place. Skip this one.

Halloween - The Curse of Michael Myers is about a little boy who begins having nightmares and hearing voices of a strange man all dressed in black telling him to commit acts of murder. In the process Michael Myers has returned to the town of Haddonfield, Illinois on a mission of murder perusing his niece. Of course Dr. Loomis is on Myers' tale while a much larger evil is at force.
Halloween - The Curse of Michael Myers is one of those films that gets often ridiculed by fans, but that is most unfair. This slasher sequel has a lot more going for it then your most critics and genre fans give it credit for.
First off, you have a little boy, Danny, having nightmares of a man in black telling him to commit acts of murder. Then he begins to see and hear the man in various times and places. Perhaps it is the most horrifying form of terror to feel that your mind is consumed by an external torment. Also, of course the child instead of obeying the commends of the "voice" rises up against the voice to not commit acts of murder, but to express his fear in a more positive way such as drawings.
The "Voice Man" in many ways makes one thing of an evil type such as Osama Ben Laden or Sadam Hussein. These are the kind of people whom preach evil to others and are blindly followed. Michael is basically a puppet on a string, being controlled by this man, not by words but by dark magic called "Thorn."
Then we have a returning character named Tommy Doyle. One would remember him as the little boy in the original Halloween who enjoyed horror movies and popcorn, who was baby sat by Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis). His character returns in this installment as an adult who has been severely affected by the traumatic events that he went through as a child. He grows up to be obsessed with the very thing that scared him as a child. I think that is a very powerful metaphor for the very fans of this genre. Often times we see a horror film for the first time as a child, and once that happens we are forever linked to what scared us the most. That is because fear does a lot of things for the mind. It motivates, and once the frightening event is over your mind tries to put the events in the context of some sort of rational thought. Tommy was scared by Michael as a child and spends his whole existence trying to find the reasoning behind Michael's madness, just like the typical horror fan is scared by a film as a child and spends their whole life watching these films trying to find the reason for their obsession. Is the obsession dangerous? No, as long as it is put to positive use and not negative use. Tommy was scared by Michael, but he did not imitate Michael, he rather tried to explain Michael. Being a horror fan has responsibilities. One must watch these film and try to use them in positive ways by being either creative or insightful rather then engage in criminal activity. Tommy Doyle is the perfect metaphor for the horror fan.
At it's core, once the subtext is aside, Halloween - The Curse of Michael Myers makes for the perfect popcorn slasher flick. It has a brooding Michael with murder sequences filled with special effects by John Carl Buechler that please any fan of the slasher genre. It has suspenseful stalking and chase scenes and inspired music by Allan Howarth.

Halloween has gone downhill so much, at least part 3 created a new idea, that I thought was great and at least 2 was atmosheric, but 4,5,7 and 8...were a bit ridiculous. But part 6 was scary. It really was. It was atmosheric, visual, very bloody which is good for most horror fans, and it has great sound effects, music, etc.
This DVD, however, has a dull master, the video doesnt look to sharp in colors and it hardly seems restored, the sound is ok but there is no surround, this dvd is desperate for a 5.1 mix
Dimension Video needs to distribute a Blu Ray edition of this DVD with better sound and image quality, and some extras, some deleted scenes interviews, trailers, anything!!! Let's hope Dimension gives this one a better release soon, or hands it over to anchor Bay or some other distributor who knows if a good edition is released, it will sell like crazy
