Why does loomis think michael is SO evil ?

Yes he murdered his sister at a very young age ....

But according to loomis ( and other doctors in the tv version ) , that after the murder, michael then enters a near comatosed state , never talking or interacting , totally unresponsive to everything and anyone !

Yes to murder his own sister is an appalling crime , but surely the way loomis describes him you would think he had went on a huge crime spree down the years , committing numerous murders , crimes, acts of untold violence , etc

But according to pretty much all reports , it seems that after the murder of his sister , michael myres fills his days by staring harmlessly out of the hospital windows etc, for many years !... hardly the work of the devil incarnate is it ?! lol

It just seems the diagnoses and the opinion loomis has on him just after his escape , seems way over the top !!!

Because Michael has the blackest eyes...The devil's eyes.

To put it mildly. :D

Loomis: “... I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up, because I realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil.“

&

“I watched him for fifteen years, sitting in a room, staring at a wall; not seeing the wall, looking past the wall; looking at this night, inhumanly patient, waiting for some secret, silent alarm to trigger him off.”

You can say that Loomis was way overacting, but evidently he was right about Michael; we didn’t see what he saw. Hell of a psychiatrist!

Michael liked pineapple on the cafeteria pizza. Loomis knew he was the most vile and putrid sort of creature.

One of the simplistic beauties of this movie. We didn't need a well explained answer to that question. All we needed to know was Dr. Loomis spent many years with him and could see it in his eyes that he was evil, and feared that this night was coming. And that is all that was necessary.
