Halloween 4 - The Return of Michael Myers

Rating:
Summary: Good
Review: This film is a good film. It's Micheal Meyers first appearance since halloween 2, where it picks up 10 years later in a hospital where micheal is in a coma and awakes and heads back to his home town where 10 years earlier he killed more that 15 people and almost his sister(Jamie lee Curtis). But instead of going after his sister he goes after his niece. This installment of halloween is a good sequal and techneically it is great but atmosphere isn't as strong as it was in the first two films.

Summary: Michael Myers has come home...again
Review: Ten years after we presumed Michael Myers and Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasance) dead in a fire, they've returned-but for obviously different reasons. Michael is in hot pursuit of his young niece(Danielle Harris), with Loomis determined to halt a repeat of ten years ago. This time, the police listen. Michael Myers isn't really scary here, and neither is the movie. Director Little mimics John Carpenter's use of darkness and atmosphere, and film tries hard, but never really gets off the ground. To his credit, Little doesn't sell out to the competition here and bombard us with blood and nudity. Good, but could have been great. Superior to the one that followed. Last but not least, Jamie Lee Curtis is sorely missed. It's too bad that Donald Pleasance didn't live to appear with her again in "Halloween H20".

Summary: Halloween all over again.
Review: In this 4th installment in the Halloween series, it appears that Michael Myers now has a niece, and now he will destroy her. I do admit, Danielle Harris does deliver a good performance, and Donald Pleasance is back as (the always likable) Dr. Loomis, but compared to the follow up, Halloween 5 (1989), there isn't as much suspense. I do recommend this movie for what it is, but ONLY for Halloween fans.

Summary: The night he came BACK
Review: Halloween 4 :The Return Of Michael Myers was a really great film.I wouldn't say it fits the rankings of Halloween(the first one) but it is suitable for any movie fan weather that be horror or not. Michael has been unconsious for 10 years and on one Halloween night he comes back after finding out he has a niece living in his home town.Surise ,suprise , he wants to kill her and anybody who gets in his way.I think the killing parts could have been a whole lot bloodier.Thats what bought the movie down.One part he sends a shot gun right through this girl's body.(NO BLOOD!!!)..i mean come on now.That's a little corney don't you think?! and the part where he climbs a moving truck and throughs men off it but no1 hears that!!put it this way..Halloween 4 was a great film but i've seen better.

Summary: Michael Myers rules!
Review: I had previously written somewhat negative reviews on Halloween 4,5 and H20, but as a horror buff, I don't really want it to be said that way, because I've always loved Mikey and the films he's made, and this is a classic horror flick. With tons of gore and close nudity! Michael is played by George P. Wilbur in this one and plays the role superbio, and would go on to play him again in Halloween : The Curse Of Michael Myers. I love these films!

Summary: Down a notch from the original, but strangely effective
Review: If I had to give a reason why "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers" ranks a four stars, I couldn't really give you one. I just really enjoy the movie and I am still a little squeamish about its premise: That a being of absolute evil would stop at nothing to murder his entire bloodline... even his 7-year old niece, Jamie. I'm one of types of movie viewers who doesn't particularly like to see a child put in imminent danger, as is the case is virtually every chase and killing sequence in this film. Dwight H. Little, the director, doesn't help the process by helping newcomer Danielle Harris deliver one of the best little girl performances in the history of movies. She is completely believable in every scene, delivering every line and every tear with genuine feeling. This little girl was a natural...Everyone will remember her for the amazing performances she gave in this film, and in its immediate sequel, "Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers."

Summary: Retarted
Review: After Halloween 1 & 2,I expected this reunion sequel (10 years later) to be awesome.Not even close. One reviewer here commented that the dumb hick town made it worse,agreed. One part has a bunch of fat rednecks going on a "witch hunt" for Myers but wind up shooting one of their own.So we're supposed to care about these scabs? The character of Jamie Lloyd is equally distasteful.A snotty brat who gets teased by classmates. Myers still wears the same coveralls from part 2 and just happens to find his favorite mask in a dime store. Dr. Loomis now appears as just a bumbling shrink instead of Michael's concerned psychologist. Plenty of scenes copied the original.This movie is a cheap attempt to cash in on the success of the first two. A real joke.

Rating:
Summary: Not really "Halloween" type
Review: Well I suppose this movie was alright, but the atmosphere just wasn't Halloween! This movie portrays Halloween as some little country hick filled town, which was very dumb. The redneck hillbillies were also stupid! This movie just doesn't start out with a story at all and I found it to be a major dissapointment.

Summary: This is a subpar installment
Review: I want to start by clearing something up that Cameron T. Burton wrote in his review for Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. Whereas the character of Jason Vorhees may be taken directly from the character of Michael Myers, the series of Halloween movies was a copy of the Friday the 13th series. He's right that Halloween came out in 1978 and Friday the 13th didn't come out until 1980, but Friday the 13th Part 2 was released in May '81 and Halloween II was released later that year in October. Now, I ask you, who was copycatting whom? This extremely average installment in the Halloween series has good acting and good dialogue for the most part, but it just has too many unbelievable parts. There's only so far you can push your suspension of disbelief. And it's predictable! Watch this only if you're getting together with friends to watch the whole series.

Rating:
Summary: A great sequel
Review: after the absence of the masked Killer Meyers is back for his niece. So is his doctor. It is a good movie.
