Summary: One of the best of the series.
Review: Ellie Cornell and Danielle Harris were amazing in this suprisingly great sequel. The only part that I disliked and thought was funny was when Michael Myers was walking on the roof.

Summary: An clever and Well Made (If at times Dumb) Sequel.
Review: Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) and Micheal Myers has survived the Blazing Inferno from the Hostipal back in 1978. Micheal has wake-up from his Coma and Going back to his home town to Prey on his niece (Danielle Harris). Directed by Dwight H. Little (Murder at 1600, Rapid Fire) made a decent Horror Sequel, which is Entertaining. DVD`s has an sharp non-anamorphic Widsecreen (1.85:1) transfer and An well done Digitally Remastered Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound and the Original Dolby Surround Sound recorded from the Ultra Stereo. This is a different trilogy from the Series from Part 4 to Part 6, because it`s doesnt follow the rest of the series. Story by Danny Lipsius, Larry Rattner, Benjamin Ruffner & Alan B. McElroy. Screenplay by McElory (Ballistic:Ecks vs. Sever, Rapid Fire, Spawn). Grade:B+.

Summary: "Cashing In On A Classic"
Review: The original "Halloween"--the film directed by John Carpenter, was is an immortal classic; "Halloween 4," on the other hand, reeks in it's use of cliches, tired old plot contrivances, an offensively young heroine, and too little imagination to make a third installment feasible. The new Sheriff of Haddonfield is a cartoon characterization of Wyatt Earp; Michael is built like Arnold Swarzenneger, and behaves more like Jason in the "Friday The 13th" Movies. The film has one redeeming merit--it is an excellent showcase for Donald Pleasance's talents, because he carries the entire movie. One wonders how, and why this loser was produced in the first place, although the answer is painfully obvious--money.

Summary: Halloween 4 DVD... It's ok....
Review: I picked up the Halloween 4 DVD yesterday.... This was my first time seeing Halloween 4 and it was pretty good. The Extras on the DVD are pretty average, but better then some Horror DVD's that are out (Child's Play, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2). It features a 17 minute documentary type thing which I thought was pretty good. The girl who played the niece (I cant remember her name)she's hot ... now. And the DVD also features the Theatrical Trailor. I wouldave liked to see a Commentary too. For the movie itself, I thought it was pretty good, except for Michael Myers Mask. It looks whack ... and he looks pretty built too in some scenes, and I think in the School house scene, he actually has blonde hair. If your a fan of the series,I would pick it up ....

Summary: BAD DVD, but great HALLOWEEN sequel
Review: Let me make this short and sweet. HALLOWEEN 4 is one of the best HALLOWEEN sequels and very possibly one of the best horror movies of all time. The DVD is a dispicable disgrace. Anhor Bay has once again ripped us off with this poor excuse of a special edition. The making of is only 17 minutes and very dull and aside from that we get 1 trailer. DO NOT BUY THIS!!

Summary: And people have the nerve to call part 3 stupid?
Review: Alright, let me tell you that the makers of this film were out to make a buck and totally threw logic out the window when they cooked up the harebrained premise for this film. Didn't they watch Part 2 closely enough? Did they think we wouldn't remember how it ended? They actually expect you to believe that Loomis and Michael survived that explosion!! Did you see that explosion? It's far fetched enough that Michael walks away from it immediately and walks a few feet! You can tell that Carpenter wanted this story to be over with(he wasn't crazy about doing a part 2 in the first place. He didn't even want to add the twist that Laurie was Michael's sister! He thought THAT was taking it a bit too far!!). At the end of 2 we see Michael lying motionless, burning to death. We spend extra time on this shot so the audience will get it through their heads that this series is over. Over! Done with! No more Michael Myers! He's dead! Burned! End of story! Now, ten years after the fact, we're supposed to believe he has been in a coma, and with the exception of a few burns on his hands, he's still in ship shape pretty much. Not only are we supposed to swallow this crap, but we're also supposed to believe that Dr. Loomis has survived this as well! He's more superhuman than Michael it seems! Look at him, he survives with a burn scar on the right side of his face only! Oh, I'm sorry, he has a burned hand too! He didn't even walk out of the operating room after the explosion like Michael did! I'm sorry I'm ramming this point into the ground, but it's precisely this point that makes Part 4 so dumb and unbelievable! I can't accept anything that happens in this film based solely on this point which was made extremely clear in Part 2. That's why Carpenter wanted a new direction in Part 3(which people seem to hate so much), to tell people that the Halloween series has to move on in a different direction. People didn't want to accept this, so our crew of genius Hollywood screenwriters cook up this implausible resurrection tale. Michael just happens to wake up after a ten year coma en route to Smith's Grove sanitarium(after conveniently hearing by a trusty paramedic that his niece lives in Haddonfield). Naturally, he slaughters everyone in his path in order to get to her. It's established early on that Jamie Lee Curtis' character has died 11 months earlier(in other words, we couldn't afford or trick Jamie Lee to be in this film. So, lets kill her off! Problem solved!), so the cat and mouse chase is with Michael and his niece. Enter our limping, partially burned friend, Dr. Loomis(who as usual, does a great job with his character, considering the crappy script he's given) who shows up to convince everyone what's going on and help save the little girl. The film relies on those wonderful slasher flick techniques that are in no way scary, but great if you want to heckle the film. People doing really stupid things in life threatening situations. Myers has no problem eliminating every obstacle in his path, but just can't seem to get his mitts on that slippery little kid. Another plot point totally overlooked by the crafty film makers: Before being set ablaze, didn't Laurie shoot out both of Michael's eyes? How exactly is he finding his way around in this film? I know Michael's one bad mutha, but regardless of how evil he is, eyes don't grow back. But, this point is yet another one overlooked to make this film. Myers' mask is really terrible looking in this one, it looks more along the lines of foam or something. There's also some really bad dialogue in this one. One of many examples: Bewildered bartender closes his store after calling the sheriff's office and getting no answer. He storms outside exclaiming, "Phone doesn't just ring at a police station! No way! No how!!" It's pretty lame when you watch the movie and hear him say it. Funny, too! There are more examples of this, but you'll have to watch to hear them. Plus, the ending of this movie will have you shaking your head in disappointment. The ending is basically the same as Friday the 13th part 4(where you think the psycho torch will be passed to Corey Feldman's character for future installments) and F13PT5(where once again, you think the hockey mask will be passed to the Tommy Jarvis character, but never does). All in all, I must admit this film is fun to watch strictly for the purpose of being in awe over the fact that someone actually OKed the project!

Summary: Not Bad...and Sometimes Creative...........
Review: I'm trying to remember all the details to this film, but I remember thinking it wasn't too bad a sequel to the first two Halloween Films, although the original was far superior to the second one. The little girl is excellent in the film, and she gives feeling to her character. The main question I have about the film is who is that "guy" with the pointed boots at the end of the film who sets Michael free from the jail cell at the end of the film. No one seems to mention this character and I was VERY disappointed the story never explained it in the next film. Does anyone out there know what I'm talking about? Love to hear from you..........
