This movie has its share of flaws: heavy doses of graphic gore, that almost degrade a series which began with a gore-less film, and moments that simply don't make sense - why does Myers kill his "collaborators" at the end? Still, I found the attempts to explain his origin mostly fascinating. It's the easiest, the laziest and the greediest thing to present a killer without a motive and to keep bringing him back for more sequels even though he should be dead. Why do people say that this series never contained supernatural elements? When Myers is shot six times in "Halloween" and nevertheless lives, was that "natural"? Script and direction were a bit muddled, but not TOO muddled: I've never seen "Halloween 5", yet the plot made sense to me, even if some details didn't. The classic music score has been unfortunately altered, but as a whole this sixth entry seems to be somewhat underrated - "Halloween II" is much more boring. Fair acting, too.
score 5/10
