It's not a great film by any measure, however it is the forth best Michael Myers movie in my opinion (1,4,and 2). I am not sure how i feel about the whole doctor angle, especially when the doctor puts on the mask. The other issues I have that it seems to borrow A LOT from the movies it disregards in the story line(scenes, the halloween masks, character names.) It also does not answer that why is Michael going after Laurie.
The ending is left open, since we do not see Michael actually buring up,as in Part 2 and see Laurie's granddaughter holding a knife, silimar to the ending of part 4, if there is a squeal which way do they go?
