She talks to him and there is a moment when he shows emotion but then he reverts to his evil self and tries to kill her. Loomis shows up and he shoots Michael and he beats him. It seems as if he has been beaten. He gets taken to the police station where he is locked up. A man in black comes in and he sets an explosion. There is gunfire. Jamie goes into the station and finds all of the police men dead and Michael Myers has gone.

This sequel was pretty good. It is a continuation of the fourth movie and the two could have been one long film. It is what you would expect but I enjoyed it all the same. Myers is evil and silent as usual and Harris plays Jamie once again. There is nothing really new or original here, but it is worth a look if you enjoy the Halloween series of movies. I had fun watching it anyway and I will give it a 5/10.
