Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers
Six years after Michael Myers last terrorized Haddonfield, he returns there in pursuit of his niece, Jamie Lloyd, who has escaped with her newborn child, for which Michael and a mysterious cult have sinister plans.

Somewhere between the druid cults, psychic runes, and endless exposition dumps, Halloween lost whatever sense of mystery it had left. The "Producer’s Cut" tries to tie six films together with lore that feels like it escaped from a bad paperback novel, and the result is equal parts confusing and lifeless.
Even Paul Rudd looks like he’s regretting every line as he awkwardly battles a mythos no one asked for. There’s a decent atmosphere buried under the nonsense, but the movie is so tangled in its own mythology that even Michael seems tired of it. I can see why they decided to bring Jamie Lee Curtis back in the next one and basically ignore everything after II.
