Summary: Michael Myers - losing his edge!
Review: Let us not mistake the fact that Halloween is and will ever will be "THE" horror movie of all time. Saying that, it was a great disappointment to view the fourth installment of the Halloween series, which in hindsight, fell short of what it was trying to accomplish. There is no real fear in the eyes of the stars, even in Laurie Strodes daughter, faking tears more than anything. The lone stand out in this installment would be the sure-fire wit of the aging Donald Pleasance, which we all thought perished in the 2nd movie, but we also though Michael died as well, what a surprise! Overall, the movie was good, but could't find the mark as in the first two films. Maybe if Carpenter stepped up and directed this version, it might of found the same ambition as the first few. I would recommend this movie, but would tell the viewer that if they expect the same atmosphere as the previous ones, they are mistaken.

Summary: Good movie, good ending, bad sequel
Review: The movie was pretty good, the story was pretty good, the ending was pretty good. But they weren't as good as the original. I loved the ending, but they had to screw it up by saying Michael had some kind of "mind control" powers.
Rating:
Summary: Not nearly as good as the original.
Review: Halloween 4 will never compare to the original, classic Halloween. It almost disgraces the name. If it weren't for Dr. Loomis, this film would be put on the back shelf of all video stores.

Summary: Another Michael Myers Slasher Flick Sucess.
Review: This movie was well written and decently acted I think that it was succesful, but no where as good as it's big brothers. END

Summary: The best Halloween sequel! (*** 1/2 stars)...
Review: Although Halloween 2 is the scariest sequel of this series, Halloween 4 is really the best of them in writing, direction, production-quality, acting and charectors. It's almost as good as the first, but not quite. Halloween(1978)was "ground-breaking", while Halloween 4 is merely a sequel, but it's still very good, as well as entertaining. The acting is good, too, and Rachel and Jaime are great charectors. Defintely reccomended!

Summary: He's Back!!! - "HALLOWEEN 4 - THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS"
Review: GREAT!After the horrible Halloween III - Season of the Witch (1983), this series needed a jump-start. This is what it got. Carpenter is gone from the series but Moustapha Akkad (master of the Halloween franchise) manages to put forth a solid film. Picking up ten years after the Haddonfield incident, Halloween 4 follows "the shape", masked-maniacle killer Michael Myers, as he terrorizes his young niece, Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris). Jamie is the daugher of the now-deceased Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis). Also in the movie is Dr. Sam Loomis, again played by the wonderful Donald Pleasance. Pleasance gives his usual top-notch performance as the doctor who forsaw the horror. If you're looking for something good to watch, give Halloween 4: The Revenge of Michael Myers a chance. It is definitely one of the better sequels.

Summary: This movie was lame!
Review: Are all you people nuts? This was a very weak film. If John Carpenter is not involved in the writing or directing then don't buy a Halloween film. I and II are pretty much where the quality was. H20 was the best attempt since and that was like film # 7

Summary: More in tune with Carpenter's atmosphere from the original
Review: After "Halloween III" bombed at the box office, the filmmakers decided to bring back good ole Michael Myers. Picking up 10 years after "Halloween I and II", The Shape is being transferred to a maximum security facility which he escapes when he hears of his niece Jamie (Danielle Harris), living in Haddonfield. Jamie is the daughter of Laurie Strode (who has died in a car accident in this timeline) and knows of her uncle's homicidal tendencies, as she is teased in school, doesn't really feel accepted anywhere, even at her foster home, and isn't aware that her uncle is going to come after her. As Michael travels to Haddonfield, Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasance) is again hot on his trail as he warns the Sherriff of what might happen. This film feels like a Halloween movie, the atmosphere is just right, Michael hides in the shadows and there is not that much blood (at least not as much as in II). Everyone performs wonderfully, especially Danielle Harris as little Jamie and Ellie Cornell as her step-sister, Rachel. This film returns to Haddonfield and to the themes and atmospheres which made the original such a great film. Excellent entry in the series!
