Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995) Reviews
A Misstep in the Michael Myers Saga
summarizeEditor's Summary
I'm still trying to wrap my head around Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers. As a long-time fan of the series, I was expecting a fresh take on the Michael Myers story, but what I got was a rehashed plot with murky motivations. The acting just didn't convince me, especially compared to the earlier installments, which had more chemistry between the leads. The visual effects and editing are pretty underwhelming, making the whole thing look old and lacking in quality. It's clear that the budget was limited, but that's no excuse for the subpar production values. Overall, I'd say it's a disappointing addition to the series.
