Summary: better in several ways
Review: this entry is better than others because for one the script is more whitty i guess and is more smart and the screenplay is more fast paced it doesn't get into nonsensing quiet slow scenes like in part 5 a couple of times. the movie is your basic slasher flick but with a little style of Scream tossed into it. pluss the acting is more solid than others

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Izo - Halloween 4. A well polished sequal.
Review: "Halloween 4" gives you the start of a new story line. About a girl called Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris). Who is living with her foster parent's which are the Carruthers family. Jamie has a very departed bond with her foster sister Rachel (Ellie Cornell). Jamie is the daughter of Laurie Strode. Who died in a car crash. Her foster family are living in Haddonfield. Michael Myers (George P.Wilbur) hears about his niece Jamie while being transferred. He sets out to kill Jamie and many others before that.

Alan B. McElroy (Screenwriter) and Dwight H. Little (Directer). Do an excellent of making this movie flow and to make it look "polished" as they've made a new story for fans to follow. The scares are simple and new and have a good effect. The fact they've brought back Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) adds to the feel and impact of the movie. Also the music by Alan Howarth adds to the feel and vibes that a "Halloween" movie should have.

But its very rare for a sequal to live up to the first movie. But a really good effort though by the cast and crew alike.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good to have you back, Michael!
Review: Halloween 4 brings the eerie Michael Myers back after the dreadfully awful Halloween 3, which didn't even have Myers in it! Michael is back to eliminate his niece in this sequel of Halloween and Halloween 2. I give this movie 5 stars because it shows us the typical style of Michael Myers and doesn't waste a lot of time with extremely bloody scenes and violence. Buy this movie...I know you will enjoy it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Halloween 4 much better than predecessor and sequel!
Review: Ok, no Halloween movie is ever gonna be better that the original, but this one comes a lot closer than most(all except for Halloween h20). Halloween 3 was obviously not a true blue Halloween movie(at least not with the Michel Myers Halloween). Halloween 5 was dumb just because I feel it tried to hard to be good and turned out horrible. Halloween 4 made most of us think that Laurie Strode was dead and completely out of the picture and introduced us to new characters who were almost as likeable as the original. And then we had the two regulars, Micheal and Dr.Loomis. And it was basically the same as the first, Micheal has a never ending need to kill members of his family and kill anyone who gets in the way. And then as usual Dr.Loomis finds himself in desprate need to find Micheal and stop him. So when Micheal escapes while being moved from a hospital to another one he gets away. Dr.Loomis discovers Micheal was moved and on his way to Haddonfield he discovers the wreck of an ambulance, which of course was transporting Micheal and even worse is that his body is no where to be found. And as most people have guessed Micheal is on his way to Haddonfield to kill again. I dont wanna ruin the rest for those who havent seen it but the rest is awesome. Halloween 4 is rated R for some language and violence. Now to rate the packaging and all. Unless you are collecing the tin cans that the Halloween movies are being released in there is no reason to buy Halloween 4 this way. To my knowledge you can get the same DVD for about 10 dollars less, but it does not include the tin can. If you are a fan of the Halloween movies, a fan of anyone in the movie or horror movie fan then get this, wait til you're alone late at night, turn off the lights, and be prepared to be scared.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: More of the Same, With A Better Budget
Review: This finely made sequel generates nothing new, but is as good as the original and more expensively shot.

A decade after his failed murder attempt on his stepsister, badly burned killer Michael Myers awakens from coma during transfer to another facility, having learned he has another surviving relative to go after - adorable ten-year-old Danielle Harris - who has been having horrible dreams of a Shadowman out to get her. Dr. Loomis, himself crippled after having subdued Michael on his last killer outing, single-mindedly sets himself out to track down and eliminate Myers, once and for all, before he can achieve his latest odious objective.

This is a beautifully photographed film, atmospherically rich in dark colors. The suspense is superb, enhanced by a slower approach and even generally slower and eerier music. Michael's new intended victim being a helpless little girl - and a very sweet one, at that - adds to the urgency and the terror. The cast are capable, and the juvenile padding is kept to a minimum.

As usual, Donald Pleasence is superb as Dr. Loomis, his own advancing years enhancing his performance as a progressively more enfeebled warrior for the good. He has some especially good scenes with Harris and with Michael, at one point heroically offering himself in place of any other victims Michael might claim, which is touchingly done.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent.
Review: Donald Pleasence returns in this 3rd sequel in the "Halloween" series. The makers of (Halloween 4) are obviously trying to create a quality horror movie. The result is an atmospheric and well done film with clever cinematography.
This is a first rate chiller.
Recommended.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Michael Myers is Back!!!!
Review: It always interests me on how people's tastes differ. Especially on sequels. Some people trash sequels and some people feel that some sequels are better than the original. I am not one of those people. As I looked over some of my movie reviews I saw that on my review of Halloween 3, some people found it helpful and some people just didn't agree with me. However, Halloween 4 is a good sequel. It brings back "The Main Man" Michael Myers and his Doctor Sam Loomis(Donald Pleasance).

Michael is back for more terror in Haddonfield. This time hunting down his niece. Michael is always an entertaining sight and a great killer. He's strong, silent and destructive. A plot? Well if you've seen the first 2 then you already know the plot. Just replace Laurie Strode with her niece. I always enjoy the chase between Doctor Loomis and Michael.

I will always be partial to the original, because it was just that, "ORIGINAL". I do, however, feel that Halloween 4 is well worth seeing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You Can't Kill the Boogeyman
Review: After a one movie hiatus Michael Myers is back. Pure psycho-slasher fun. Laurie Strode's (orphaned?) child has been placed in foster care. Little Jamie is having bad dreams and misses her mommy so. The boogeyman, her uncle, haunts her sleep. And even in the waking she is being pursued by a maniac mistakenly set loose. Back to Haddonfield the monster comes. Dr. Loomis, the Van Helsing of Horror Movies, hunts the beast with the fury of hell in his eyes. The terror is excruciatingly real, the after effect one of a midnight nightmare fondly remembered. The pacing, level of bloodshed, and claustrophobic script forced this film to the top of my favorite horror flick list. "Speak not for the innocent, less you be heard"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie!!!
Review: I love the Halloween series. I was a little disapointed that Jamie Lee Curtis wasn't in this one but, boy was it terrific! It was by far the scariest movie in the Halloween series. Even then, it wasnt' that scary. Sure there were some parts but, that's all. I thought that this was a classic and that if you haven't seen it, you should go rent it!
