The horror genre is always going to be a fairly "cult" genre if you will. But make a good film and you'll still get praise and accolades. John Carpenter is proof of that.

The thing that probably gives a film like 'The Curse of Michael Meyers' a bad rap is that it's like the 5th movie with the same killer. And in my opinion, Halloween 4 and 5 were not good films. I have to be honest that I haven't seen this one, but my desire to see it is very low. I think 'Halloween II' will always be the end to me with the Michael Meyers character.

You know the series is getting stale when they discontinue numbering the franchise - or else this would've been like Halloween 6.....and when Halloween H20 completely disregards the fact that Halloween 4, 5, and 6 ever happen....or when Jamie Lee Curtis gets killed off in Halloween Resurrection starring Busta Rhymes.

*facepalm*

What a shame the franchise turned into such a sellout/mess. It's like the 'Friday the 13th' movies. I think the 4th one was titled 'The Last Chapter' and then a year later there's another 'Friday the 13th' movie called 'The New Beginning' and they go on to make like 5 more movies. It's hialrious.
