Revealing mistakes: Strings are barely visible holding Adam Arkin up as Michael is killing him.

Quotes:

John: Mom, I am not responsible for you. That's it, I've had enough. I can't take it anymore mom. He's dead. Michael Myers is dead.

HAPPY

Family Reunion

I gave this movie a 7/10. The reason behind this is because the movie was short and it disregards the previous films which is a big no-no to me.

Also the movie moves kind of slowly throughout the majority. But when the climax hits, it is awesome. It is a very great feeling to see Laurie and Michael Reunited. This movie is worth buying. Better than Halloween 6.

Unfortunately they screwed up the ending., it was supposed to be the final showdown but they made Halloween resurrection a few years later with some lame storyline to bring him back. I just wish Akkad wouldnt spit in our faces.
