ShangLuda Admirable film.

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Dom Nickson Halloween 4 was so corny and was terrible in every aspect. Let's see the kills were lame and so unrealistic (Impaling a girl with a gun, digging his nail into the guys head, lifting and tossing a guy about twenty feet into an electrical outlet, squeezing a guy's neck to death, the truck massacre yet nobody's able to fight back). The ending was so stupid how for no reason Jamie kills her mother, almost as if Michael was a demon and his spirit transferred to the girl. Bringing back Doctor Loomis from the dead but also killing off Jamie Lee Curtis's character. The music didn't capture the scary essense of the original John carpenter's cover. Michael Myers performance was very boring and honestly not at all scary. Overall the fourth was one of the worst slasher movie sequels I think I have ever seen.

alexanderdavies-99382 After the interesting misfire that was "Halloween 3: Season of the Witch," the producer decided it was time to return the "Halloween" franchise to its roots. Released in 1988, the above film succeeds in doing just that and is a worthy sequel to the previous films with the Michael Myers character. Also returning was Donald Pleasence as Dr. Sam Loomis. The "Halloween" films just wouldn't be the same without him, he plays a considerable role in giving these movies their cult status. It is now nearly Halloween once more. Ten years have elapsed since the time when crazed killer Michael Myers attempted to kill his sister Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis). Both he and Sam Loomis were assumed to have died in the fire at the end of "Halloween 2." Loomis is now facially scarred and walks with a stick. Myers is in a comatose state at the beginning of the film. He is now subject to Federal law and is due to be tried if he should regain consciousness. As is to be expected, Myers is roused from his dormant state and embarks upon his latest rampage of murder. He is making his way back to Haddonfield so he can murder his niece, Jamie (Danielle Harris). Hot on his trail is Loomis who needs to convince the police that the tragedies of before might occur again. It is a race against time for Loomis in attempting to protect Jamie from her psychopathic uncle. The pace never lets up and there are some eerie and effective scenes. The plot is kept quite streamlined which is good. As soon as darkness descends, the danger is upon the town and upon Jamie. Quite a number of people are killed and Myers shows no mercy toward them. With Loomis, he makes an exception. He has a few opportunities to kill him but for some reason, he doesn't. Myers hurts Loomis for sure but never uses much force in finishing him. Could it be that he has a speck of human feeling for his former Doctor? I was a bit disappointed with how Michael Myers looks in this film. The mask he wears, is nowhere near as frightening as in the first film. In the 1978 movie, I thought I was gazing upon a mask where the eyes looked like two dark,bottomless pits. In this movie, the mask looks like something out of a children's toy store. He didn't look physically imposing enough as before either. Even so, it is something I can overlook. The dialogue is actually quite good for a film of this kind. Every scene refers to the plot in some way. Acting honours go to Donald Pleasence and Danielle Harris. They only one proper scene together but it is an effective one. Harris gives her character a lot of depth and conviction, especially when she is made all to aware of her situation. The ending includes a suitably shocking twist, I shalln't say what it is. "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers" helps to maintain the style of the first two films well. It isn't surprising that a fifth "Halloween" film was commissioned as the fourth one was being made.

rockztoor OK ,best Halloween movie and must see for all true action.. Horror fans !! ( of course not forgetting original ) And now we can safely say, for the sanctity any future endeavors ,hence Michael himself, who remains totally impervious to pain and any damage... That it is far from over !! You could actually feel the tension rising as soon as the first scenes are launched, like hailing winds before all electron fusion hell is unleashed. And where to go after the beginning? Well, this is the first time in history , where citizens of Haddonfield , with the local sheriff department, gets a fair warning way before pure hell arrives, to their little town...However, this warning will unfortunately go to deaf and ignorant ears.. Because white people just don't seem to think something like this could ever happen... This serves a proof and archetype of a white man , who is actually too smart for his own good .We are victims to our own success ,because all the technology and advanced weaponry, what exist. We still find ourselves be over powered and brutalized, by one crazy maniac... And that having some primal survival instincts would serve a more profound purpose in a long run ..Also there is some doubts ,where people don't seem to think that Michael is capable, to produce this kind of fear and terror ( given the logical reasoning & facts ) But that will turn out to be terrible mistake. And there will be hell to pay, for all those oblivious people ,afterwards.. It don't matter who you are ,Michael is going to crush you're head ! GAME IS OVERAnd let me guess . It was Hans Zimmer who compose score for film ? Where every time Michael is seen, starts immediately speed techno Halloween tune

zkonedog After the failed experiment that was "Halloween III: Season of the Witch", the series returned to its Michael Myers-based roots with this fourth installment. Unfortunately, the end result couldn't have turned out more bland.For a basic plot summary, "Halloween 4" opens with Myers having been in a coma for the ten years after the explosion that ended the second film. However, while being transferred to a new institution, Michael wakes up and begins a new killing spree, this time targeting Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris), the niece of Laurie Strode.Yep, seriously...that is the plot of this film, easily illustrating the most glaring fault of this "comeback" effort: the series was creatively exhausted after "Halloween II", so all the rest is just an excuse to make some money.Add to this the fact that the movie really isn't even scary. Whatsoever. Heck, even the Friday the 13th series had 3-4 films that were decent. This one, though, does nothing to re-establish the character of Michael Myers and eventually descends into a combination of slasher (which at times is laughable) and suspense (let's just say it ain't Hitchcock). Plus, to add insult to injury, the Myers mask isn't even the old "Bill Shatner mold" from the first two, instead featuring a cheap knockoff that isn't nearly as spooky. The final nail is driven home with the most insipid, cringe-worthy ending of perhaps the entire series.About the only redeeming factor in this movie whatsoever is the performance of Harris as young Jamie. She really does an excellent job and deserves a lot of credit for creating the only human drama element in the movie at all.Thus, though this film tried to resurrect (quite literally) the character of Michael Myers, it eventually only serves to provide 90 minutes of blandness. I wasn't expecting greatness out of the third Halloween sequel, but I wasn't expecting total boredom, either, and that is exactly what I received.
