That was an excellent one.

Dynamixor

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

After the "lousy" Halloween 3, fans were not expecting Myers to return and just left the Halloween franchise behind, moving on to something else..and then they got big news, Halloween 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS was on!! The film follows a new story with Laurie Strode's daughter, Jamie who is now Michael Myers newest target and goes after her on Halloween Night, while also killing a bunch of teenagers, because, it would'int be Halloween with out loads of teenagers being slashed to death. I remember watching Halloween 5 before 4 and thinking how bad the film could be as Halloween 5 was not amazing, this film was all over actually not that bad. The acting in Halloween 4 was actually quite decent, the writing was not something to rave over but was still good, Danielle Harris and Donald Pleasence nailed it as Jamie and Dr. Loomis, the other characters were just typical teenagers that I did not really care for, Michael Myers was really good in this film and his mask was very likable. Halloween 4 is not a Halloween 2 but a pretty good sequel!

Michael is back and just as scary as before. I often watch slashers to laugh at how bad they are, but this was just scary. Again I say spoilers. The ending was perfect. The film built up the Jamie twist. Yes Jason is scary but Michael pretending to be a cop and then impaling a girl with a a shotgun is terrifying. The acting was phenomenal,obviously Pleasence was great but the child actor for Jamie was very good, often child actors are the opposite. Overall great film. Any Myers fan should watch it. 8.8/10.

OK ,best Halloween movie and must see for all true action.. Horror fans !! ( of course not forgetting original ) And now we can safely say, for the sanctity any future endeavors ,hence Michael himself, who remains totally impervious to pain and any damage... That it is far from over !! You could actually feel the tension rising as soon as the first scenes are launched, like hailing winds before all electron fusion hell is unleashed. And where to go after the beginning? Well, this is the first time in history , where citizens of Haddonfield , with the local sheriff department, gets a fair warning way before pure hell arrives, to their little town...However, this warning will unfortunately go to deaf and ignorant ears.. Because white people just don't seem to think something like this could ever happen... This serves a proof and archetype of a white man , who is actually too smart for his own good .We are victims to our own success ,because all the technology and advanced weaponry, what exist. We still find ourselves be over powered and brutalized, by one crazy maniac... And that having some primal survival instincts would serve a more profound purpose in a long run ..Also there is some doubts ,where people don't seem to think that Michael is capable, to produce this kind of fear and terror ( given the logical reasoning & facts ) But that will turn out to be terrible mistake. And there will be hell to pay, for all those oblivious people ,afterwards.. It don't matter who you are ,Michael is going to crush you're head ! GAME IS OVERAnd let me guess . It was Hans Zimmer who compose score for film ? Where every time Michael is seen, starts immediately speed techno Halloween tune

After the failed experiment that was "Halloween III: Season of the Witch", the series returned to its Michael Myers-based roots with this fourth installment. Unfortunately, the end result couldn't have turned out more bland.For a basic plot summary, "Halloween 4" opens with Myers having been in a coma for the ten years after the explosion that ended the second film. However, while being transferred to a new institution, Michael wakes up and begins a new killing spree, this time targeting Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris), the niece of Laurie Strode.Yep, seriously...that is the plot of this film, easily illustrating the most glaring fault of this "comeback" effort: the series was creatively exhausted after "Halloween II", so all the rest is just an excuse to make some money.Add to this the fact that the movie really isn't even scary. Whatsoever. Heck, even the Friday the 13th series had 3-4 films that were decent. This one, though, does nothing to re-establish the character of Michael Myers and eventually descends into a combination of slasher (which at times is laughable) and suspense (let's just say it ain't Hitchcock). Plus, to add insult to injury, the Myers mask isn't even the old "Bill Shatner mold" from the first two, instead featuring a cheap knockoff that isn't nearly as spooky. The final nail is driven home with the most insipid, cringe-worthy ending of perhaps the entire series.About the only redeeming factor in this movie whatsoever is the performance of Harris as young Jamie. She really does an excellent job and deserves a lot of credit for creating the only human drama element in the movie at all.Thus, though this film tried to resurrect (quite literally) the character of Michael Myers, it eventually only serves to provide 90 minutes of blandness. I wasn't expecting greatness out of the third Halloween sequel, but I wasn't expecting total boredom, either, and that is exactly what I received.
