'Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers' is the nadir of the franchise, with the possible exception of Halloween: Resurrection, or Halloween III, but I will exclude it, since it does not have Michael Myers. Jamie is an adult here, and Michael kills her, but not before she gives birth to a baby, which Michael goes to track down. Tommy Doyle, the boy Laurie babysat in the first Halloween, also returns, played by Paul Rudd. Tommy has been mentally scarred by what he experienced as a child, and he ends up taking care of Jamie's baby. Tommy joins up with Dr. Loomis (again Donald Pleasance, in his last performance) to stop Michael. There is also Kara (Marianne Hagan), who lives with her parents in the Myers house, which Michael decides to revisit. Loomis looks like he is on death's door, Pleasance isn't as interesting or compelling as he was in the other movies, it is a shame that his final role had to be in something like this. Kara meets Tommy and Loomis, and gets pulled into an absolutely ridiculous plot that links Michael to the Druids (or some other secret, occultic society), and to a curse that is the reason he wants to kill his own family. A bunch of doctors in some kind of facility that apparently want to study Michael end up getting butchered by him; I guess it is a good lesson in messing with something you cannot possibly hope to control.
The only satisfying thing that happened here was when Kara's a**hole father gets killed. More bodies pile up here than in any of the previous movies, I believe, if one wants to keep tabs on stuff like that. Made six years after Halloween 5, that mysterious man in the coat and boots is revealed here as one of Loomis's old colleagues. There is not much here that makes sense, but I guess they did the best they could to tie the plot of this movie in with that of the others, and try to continue the story as logically as possible, even though it should have ended a long time ago.
