10 Things You Learn Rewatching Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers (1995)
9. The Poor Editing
From the opening of the film, it is abundantly clear that editing will not exactly be a strong suit of this film. But the longer it drags on, the more obvious it becomes that this is not only the worst editing ever for the franchise, but also some of the flat-out worst editing ever in a major studio release.
Editor Randolph K. Bricker has gone on to do much better work in subsequent years, but the editing here is ungodly. From it's insistence to utilizing strobe lighting to assist in its match-cuts, to its tendency to splice frames of Michael or a knife into otherwise mundane scenes, it becomes an utter chore to endure.
Maybe the easiest example of just how awful the editing in this film is is the fact that before viewers even reach the five-minute mark, the 180-degree rule (a common rule of editing and filmmaking in general) has been carelessly broken... twice.
Some of this can certainly be chalked up to last-minute reshoots and edits, but it's also apparent that whoever was in charge in the editing bay just had no idea what they were trying to do with this mess.
