Year:1995

Director:Joe Chappelle
Genre:Slasher fodder

Rating:3/5
IMDB link:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113253/
Tagline:Terror Never Rests In Peace!
Favourite line:None worth mentioning

It's part 6 of a slasher franchise, so you pretty much know what to expect, and there are no real surprises.

The plot:
Six years after Michael Myers' initial killing spree in Carpenter's classic original, the masked maniac is back to finish off what he started: kill all the Strode's.
Along the way we encounter a dysfunctional family unit, a vaguely Satanic radio broadcast and more gore than we've seen before.

That's all folks.
The only points worth noting here are one super-cool back reference to Halloween 2, as Michael wanders around a spooky hospital at night, and the fact that his sinister mask seems to have had a make-over, so he now looks even more chilling than usual.
Average slasher fodder, then.
