Summary: Return Of "The Shape"
Review: After the explosive conclusion to "Halloween II", Michael Myers has spent the last ten years in a maximum security wing of a mental institution (in the basement) healing from burn scars he inflicted during the film. But, when Myers is transfered to a different institution for better treatment he makes his escape, finding out that his sister, Laurie Strode, has perished in a car crash two years after the events in "II", leaving a young daughter behind, living with relatives in Haddonfield, Illinois. Michael dons his mask and goes after her (why? Only he knows). Dr. Loomis finds out about this whole mess and goes to protect Myers' niece before he can get to her.After the god awful "Halloween III", "Universal Studios" sold the rights to the franchise and let it languish for roughly four years. An independent film co. bought the rights and decided to try to make "Halloween" scary again. They've done so, only in limited amounts. There are some cool scenes, though, and some scares, but, the film can't out match the original and is more in league with "Halloween II". A decent rental for the Halloween season, but, not worth owning.

Summary: Halloween 4 kick's butt!!!
Review: This was a great halloween. Great story and good horor sences. I'd say this movie wins for the best beggening and ending. In the beggening, HE DRIVES HIS THUMB THROUGH THIS GUY'S FOREHEAD, THAT'S AWSEOME. And the ending is a very good twist. Won't spoil it though, this was a great halloween.

Summary: Michael is back, YEAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Review: Okay, lets start of with that I really, really, hated the 3rd film, but not because Michael was not in it. The 3rd film just had a really lame plot. This one had a much, much, MUCH better plot. Michael is in a mental home, but when they are moving him, he ecasepes! Dr. Loomis is the first one to go after Michael. Michael Myers would go after Laurie, but she and her husband died in a car crash. Laurie does have a daughter named Jamie. Michael is going after her and her step family. I thought this was a really cool movie even though the first two will always be my favirirte. The only bad thing is Michael died in Halloween 2. We even saw him go up in flames and melt. Besides that, worth your money.

Summary: Entertaining but not the best
Review: Well some people would say this was the 3rd Halloween movie but I would like to use the term The 3rd Michael Myers Movie. It introduces Jamie Laurie's daughter who is Micheal Myers's niece. Micheal's a very bad uncle but the showdown between Jamie and Micheal isn't until the 5th movie. Then Michael kills her in the 6th one. I found it was weird that in Micheal Myers's hometown there are only two cops and they have to call for back up to save the town. Also they try to stop a bunch of bikers who are mad at Micheal to stop hunting for him but it was five of them against the two cops. They end up killing one of their friends who they mistaked for Myers. Then they help Jamie and her adopted sister Rachel to safty but all the bikers die and Jamie and Rachel are left all alone with Uncle Mikey. Luckily the cops come and save the day lucky for them. I would recommend this one for serious Halloween lovers because others might not understand the point.

Summary: This is a Halloween movie?
Review: I'm a huge fan of the Halloween series. This movie is kind of scary, but mostly just a jug of gore. Myers escapes from the ambulance that is transporting him and returns to Haddonfield for some more kills. The best part is when Michael sticks his thumb through a dudes forehead. Scariness - 8.2/10
Sound - 8.5/10
Acting - 9.5/10
Gore - 9.2/10 Buy it just for the sake of having all the Halloweens.

Summary: MICHEALS BACK!!!!WHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA!!!
Review: This is the movie that for me established Micheal as the best of the only 3 true boogy men, Jason, and Freddy being the other 2. This in my opion is the best Micheal Myers film there is. HE DIGS HIS THUMB INTO SOME DUDES HEAD!!!!HOW AWSOME IS THAT!!! Jamie is very lucky to have an such a cool Uncle, eh?

Summary: Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
Review: A worthy sequel to HALLOWEEN I & II, and if you haven't seen part three yet, don't bother. It has nothing to do with the rest of this entertaining and super scary horror movie series. HALLOWEEN 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS is a technically well made film, with dedicated performances, yet another excellent music score from Carpenter's original (just done by Alan Howarth, who does a spooky, fantastic job) and a nicely written script. The only flaws with this film is that sometimes the plot is a little too slow, and that Michael Myers doesn't seem as scary as he did in the first two. The absence of Jamie Lee Curtis also plunges this movie a little down, but it still very worthy of a four star rating. Excellent and comparable to HALLOWEEN II, but of course, cannot top the first and only classic slasher film, HALLOWEEN (part one).

Summary: "...structured pretty well...get ready to be chilled!"
Review: Whew...this series just can't seem to get a bad entry, yet, can it? And that's the way it looks still after seeing repeated viewings of "Halloween 4." Hey, I'm a fan, what can I say?
This entry is right up there with "Halloween II" in the greatest sequels of all time, perhaps even better than number two, but they're both so close, I don't try to pick.
Let me start off by saying how great the sets are on this film. The beginning main title sequence for this film has got to be my favorite in the whole series, showing the creepy outskirts of the town of Haddonfield with Halloween decorations around, and great music to go in with it. What a combo. This time Alan Howarth only returned for the music, John Carpenter done completely with the series.
But as I find myself watching this movie again, I want them to elaborate on those scenes even more, and the eerie feel continues throughout the entire movie, with more cool sets. They make up for the lack of philosophical quandaries that I enjoyed from the previous three entries. This movie loses a certain level of intellect the first three had, but is still very good and structured pretty well, if a little predictable at times.
But we get a great foreboding scene in which a reverend is giving Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasance) a ride. "You can't kill damnation, mister. It don't die like a man dies."
So what's the premise of this entry? Moustapha Akkad, the executive producer of all the Halloween movies felt it was time to go back to the Michael Myers storyline and the basics. Director Dwight H. Little and screenwriter, Alan B. McElroy discussed their idea for a Halloween film, and came up with "The Return of Michael Myers."
Taking place ten years after the events of "Halloween" and "Halloween II," the film starts out with the killer, Michael Myers, lying in a coma, being transferred from one hospital to another. But a crack a paramedic makes about Myers having a niece living in his home town causes him to wake up get back up in working condition. But Donald Pleasance, is back again, playing Dr. Loomis, in another great acting job, following Michael's trails of carnage back to Haddonfield, where he teams up with the Sheriff to bring Mike's niece, 7-year-old Jamie Lloyd to safety. But that doesn't stop the elusive Michael Myers as he finds his way into a bolted up house and creates some more damage.
As said before, the atmosphere is terrific in the film, perhaps the best part of the whole movie. The acting is very good. Danielle Harris, making her film debut in "Halloween 4" delivers a wonderful acting job in her role of Jamie Lloyd, who is stalked relentlessly by Michael Myers.
The bottom line: recommended for the fan looking for a very faithful follow-up or just a fun-seeker out for a good popcorn night, but get ready to be chilled!

Summary: Enslaved to the slasher formula, but decent nonetheless
Review: This movie came out in 1987 or '88 (I can't remember which), a time when the slasher genre was starting to die down - even the Jason films weren't grossing as much as they used to. So, it's rather odd that the producers would pick this as a time to resurrect Michael Myers. As I said in the title of this review, this movie, like Halloween II, follows the slasher formula every step of the way, with gory kills, sex-crazed teenagers and people doing exceedingly moronic things - the rules of the horror genre that we all grew to know and (some of us) love during the '80s. Considering that the original Halloween was built on suspense rather than splatter, this is actually a pretty decent sequel. It's better than Halloween II, at any rate. Sure, Michael is about as menacing as a ballpoint pen by now, but it's still a fairly entertaining entry in the series, and it's lightyears ahead of 5 and 6. If you're a fan of Mr. Myers, this warrants a rental.
