This installment marks the return of the seemingly indestructible masked murderer Michael Myers (George P. Wilbur), who is targeting Tommy Doyle (Paul Stephen Rudd), a young man tied into the legacy of the killer and his connections with the Strode family. As the supernatural elements of Michael's macabre abilities are explored, his longtime adversary, Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence), is also back in yet another attempt to stop the psychopath's brutal rampages.

Critics Consensus

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

Hokey yet stylish in some areas, this is another variation on the indestructible killer that's instantly forgettable.

1.5/4

Instead of sending up the current glut of serial-killer movies, the filmmakers trot out the old slasher tactics.

Slicker than crude oil and just as unattractive.

1/5

As if the Halloween franchise didn't already have enough sequels that are copy-paste redundancies, this one also suffered from studio interference, making it both bad and nonsensical.

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.

Here’s an installment in the Halloween franchise with two vastly different versions—and they’re both bad.

Lots of people hate on this movie, but I think its awsome the mask looks awesome, the kills are some of the best in the franchise, they brought back Tommy from the first film, witch i think is awesome. People don't like the ending, but i do. This film is cool
