Rating: Summary: Mr. Myers is back and well rested Review: The sequals continue in this slasher. I must say it was exilerating for me to watch due to the fact that I'm a huge fan of the series. The plot revolves around the fact that Michaels niece, Jamie, is being stalked by wicked psychopath Michael Myers. Stemming from the 1978 hit, Halloween 4 in my opinion is an good sequale which I promise will scare you stiff. Danielle Harris (Jamie) lights up the screen with her excellent acting along with Donald Pleasence (Sam Loomis) The reason this didn't earn a 4 is because of the some what thin plot and mediocre acting by the supporting cast members. Mostly hormone driven teens which you want to see die anyway. The movie can be a bit slow at times also. But that's kind of a contridiction due to the fact the original Halloween was slow and still was a great movie. In conclusion, I recommend this to any hard core horror flick fans. For others I think it will seem like any other "average" movie out there. Got to say something about what I said? E-mail me at: omicron_30@yahoo.com.
Rating: Summary: Pretty good Review: This movie wasn't great but it was good. If you want to see better Halloween movies rent 1,6, or H20! RATED R: FOR STRONG VIOLENCE AND LANGUGE
Rating: Summary: Michael is back! Review: Halloween 4 returns to the Michael Myers storyline that 3 did away with. We discover that Laurie has died in a car accident and left her 9 year old daughter Jamie behind, now living with foster parents. Michael has been in a coma for 10 years following the fire at the hospital from 2. Donald Pleasence returns to reprise his classic role of Dr. Loomis. When Michael is being transported to another facility he discovers he has a living relative, his neice Jamie. The classic Halloween theme sets the tone in the beginning, assuring everyone, Michael is definitely back! The only minor drawback is the featureless mask Michael is wearing, not nearly as scary looking as the one from 1 & 2. All in all, this film is almost as suspenseful as the original Halloween. The ending has sequel written all over it, and does not do justice to the rest of the film.
Rating: Summary: Eerie neighborhood scenes recaptured from Part I Review: The essense of Halloween are decorations, jack-o-lanterns and spooky, eerie neighborhoods. That is what made the original Halloween such a classic. It scared the heck out of you because it was happening in a neighborhood that could very well be your own, and done so without special effects. This spooky neighborhood concept was lost somewhat in No. 2 because of the hospital scenes, but it was recaptured brilliantly in No. 4. The storyline is fairly solid, and the continuity of explaining the end of No. 2 and the beginning of No. 4 was well done. You know for sure that Michael must be pure evil to be able to survive two gunshots to the head and and become a human torch at the end of No. 2. This is the only Halloween movie I saw at the theater, and there were many people in the audience who screamed out during intense moments. The eerie neighborhood scenes that I love so much are wonderful here. Michael's shape moving in and out of the foggy, dark areas, trick-or-treaters being picked up by their parents after the power outage caused by Michael, the creepy shadows in the Meeker house as they make a stand, leaves blowing around in the streets and yards, dogs barking in the distance, and Michael striking at just the right moments are all the perfect ingredients for heart-pounding suspense. The scenes on top of the house as Jamie and Rachel try to escape from Michael's knife wielding have you on the edge of your seat! The only constructive criticism I have that would have made the picture better is possibly a flashback scene showing Jamie Lee Curtis' character of Laurie Strode in a tender moment with Jamie, solidifying the family connection between II and IV, and then showing how Jamie's parents died. Of course, we learn in H20 that Laurie faked her own death to escape Michael's wrath. I think Jamie Lee Curtis would have consented to do such a scene even if she didn't want to be featured throughout the entire movie. Anyway, a great horror film without tons of blood and guts.
Rating: Summary: A Better Sequel! Review: Although, it really should be called "Halloween 3: The Return of Michael Myers" Halloween 4 is one of the better sequels in the Halloween series. The second-story fall, 8 bullets and an explosion have put sadistic serial killer Michael Myers in a coma, where he has been resting for the last 10 years. He awakes on Halloween 1988, when he learns he has an 8 year old niece, Jamie, daugher of "deceased" Laurie Strode. Michael learns of Jamie's location, and stalks her and her step-family. Surviving cast member, Dr. Loomis, returns to try to stop Michael from getting to his innocent niece. DVD is good, with the theatrical trailer for "4" and the original, as well as being shown in widescreen format. Pick it up!
Rating: Summary: Excellent film. Review: First off they bring back Michael. And they introduce little Jaime Loyd.The movie is fast paced thrilling and scary. They use just about the same method as the first film. Dr.Loomis adds great wit to the film. If you love horror movies but this one you will not be sorry.(Michael why can't you die.)
Rating: Summary: Halloween 4 Review: Halloween 4 is worth seeing. It is a huge improvement over the third one. The acting is good, so is the special effects. The film was low bugdeted and filmed in Salt Lake City, Utah. The third Halloween film had nothing to do with Michael Myers, but the fourth one does. Nearly ten years after Halloween 2 Michael comes back to kill his necie Jamie. The fith one is more dissapointing, but the sixth and seventh one was better than four and five. Worth reniting, not buying.

Rating: Summary: October 31, 1988...the horror is unleashed again... Review: "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers" is a fantastic sequel that lives up to the original's roots of suspense, creepy music and cool performances by the cast. It sets up the story for what I like to call the "Thorn Trilogy" of the Halloween series. The Plot: Ten years after trying to kill his sister, Michael Myers (George P. Wilbur), awakens from his coma (remember, he was set on fire in Part II) after hearing his niece, Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris), is living in Haddonfield. He escapes the mental institution once again and returns home to find her. Hot on his trail is Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) who teams up with Sheriff Meeker (Beau Starr) to stop The Shape from piling on more bodies. This sequel has everything going for it. It continues the story nicely (picking up from 1981's "Halloween II", the previous entry, "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" had nothing to do with Michael Myers), has a nice, sympathetic lead in Danielle Harris and has a strong heroine in Ellie Cornell as her foster sister, Rachel. Donald Pleasence is also a bit loonier in this one, but still puts on a well acted performance. Composer Alan Howarth took over the reigns from John Carpenter and redesigned some of the themes to suit this movie well. All in all, this is a great movie, but make sure you watch the other ones to get this story or you might be totally lost!
Rating: Summary: What a disappointment! Review: I liked this movie the first few times I watched it but then later I realized how much this is nothing like the first two Halloween movies. Halloween 4, 5 & 6 are kind of weird and confusing, the curse of Thorn and all that mess. Hey, its a good movie and all but the ones I would buy are the first Halloween, Halloween II and H2O, those are the best ones I think because if it doesn't have Jamie Lee Curtis in it then its not a Halloween movie.
