Movie Review: Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers and Halloween H20: 20 Years Later - Double Feature (Blu-ray)

About a month or so ago there came news that Echo Bridge Entertainment was distributing certain Dimension Films titles. Two of those titles, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers and Halloween: H20 have been bundled up into a double feature release for the Blu-ray market. Before I go too much further in my review of the disc I'd like to warn anyone who has not seen Halloween H20: 20 Years Later that there is a spoiler involving LL Cool J. It's tiny, but a spoiler nonetheless. Now off to Haddonfield!

For the most part I really think both films are "middle of the pack" Halloween films. Neither are as bad as Rob Zombie's trash, but neither are as entertaining as the original, part II or Season of the Witch. In "Curse", Tommy Doyle (Paul Rudd) is a Michael Myers-aholic who really wants to track down the legendary killer from Haddonfield. Dr Loomis (Donald Pleasence) is still kickin' but he's retired.. that is until the possibility of Michael stalking again becomes a reality.
