Once again, he's back.
Six years after terrorizing the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois, serial killer Michael Myers returns for yet another installment of the Halloween series.
The movie starts off with the disappearance of Myers and his niece Jamie Lloyd (J.C. Brandy). It appears that a secret underground society has kidnapped both Jamie and Michael and now Jamie has a child. This underground society wants Michael to kill Jamie and her child, but they are able to escape. She rushes to seek the help of Dr. Loomis (the late great Donald Pleasence), but is too late as she succumbs to Michael's reign of terror, but not before hiding her baby from him.
Now it is up to a young man named Tommy (Paul Rudd, better known for his work in Anchorman). Tommy was one of the children that Laurie Strode was babysitting for when Michael first embarked on his reign of terror years earlier. Now he is a recluse who everyone else in town thinks is crazy, especially his neighbors, the Strodes, who moved into the old Myers house.
In the new Myers house is the mother Debra (Kim Darby), father John (Bradford English), son Tim (Keith Bogart), and adopted daughter Kara (Marianne Hagan) and her son Danny (Devin Gardner). The family is totally unaware that Michael Myers is planning on returning to his ole Illinois home.
Tommy discovers the baby and embarks on an adventure to keep the child safe, as well as his crush Kara. Unfortunately things don't go according to plan, and the child is kidnapped by the secret society and Michael comes after them with a vengeance.
I appreciated the first Halloween, even the second. Once it got to the fourth and fifth, I just wished it would go away. This marked the last Halloween movie until Halloween H20 (which, I think, is a good sequel). I hated how Michael Myers became more like a puppet for this new society rather than just a serial killer. But still, Michael got his revenge in the end, but the movie centered more about this society and some old ancient symbols than simple murder and mayhem.
Sheriff: Go back to your loony bin. I've got enough problems around here without you stirring up ghost stories.
Doctor Sam Loomis: I suppose it was a ghost who did all of this, and a ghost on the radio last night, and a ghost being carried out of here now.
