Sun May 03 2009Halloween 4 is probably the best sequel (or just plain entry) in the Halloween series. That being said, this is the movie where Michael Myers stops being merely an escaped lunatic from an asylum wearing a mask and becomes something almost as unstoppable (and therefore kind of uninteresting) as Jason Voorhees from the 4th rate 'Friday the 13th Series'. Michael Myers can seemingly do anything and be anywhere ... there's no escaping him and so the tension is never amped up like it was in the first, classic 'Hallween.' BUT -- the creative team behind this movie actually put together a really good slasher movie. What would degenerate into Halloween's 5 and 6 and sub-mental movie-making hasn't happened yet, and Halloween 4 delivers something almost as restained and suspensful as the original. Danielle Harris and Ellie Cornell are a cut above the normal teen victims, and Donald Pleasence delivers his best performance as Dr. Loomis, the psychiatrist bent on destroying his escaped mental p...

Sat Mar 21 2009In Haloween IV: The Return of Michael Myers, (as suggested by the title) Michael Myers returns (Halloween III having been a completely separate movie and not featureing Michael Myers). It has been 10 years since the events of Halloween and Halloween II and Michael escapes once again, this time while bein transported between institutions in an abulence, this time determined upon killing his niece, Jamie. Lorrie (Jamie Lee Curtis) in not in this movie. We are instead introduced to her daughter, Jamie, neice of Michael Myers, a girl who is about 7 years old and has horrible nightmares about her Uncle and is teased by the kids at school because her Uncle is "the boogeyman". Michael Myers makes his way to Jamie in Haddonfield, leaving behind him a bloody trail of corpses. I wasnt very impressed by this sequel (especially after the greatness of Halloween II). The story-line isnt that great and there is a long period of time in the middle of the movie where there are no killings. ... Read more

Fri Oct 31 2008I thought it would be awesome to review this movie on this day! Ten years after Michael tried to kill his sister, and six years after Dan Challis saved the kids from dying from the Silver Shamrock masks, Michael comes out of his coma and wants to kill his niece, Jamie Lloyd. Dr. Loomis tries to stop Michael from doing that. Jamie lives with the Carruthers family. Her step-sister Rachel has a big date on HALLOWEEN, but the babysitter broke her ankle at the ice rink, so Rachel has to babysit Jamie. When Rachel takes Jamie trick-or-treating, Rachel sees her boyfriend with the Sheriff's daughter. Soon, Michael comes after Jamie. Some rednecks try to stop Michael also. Jamie, Rachel, Brady, and Kelly all get stuck in the Sheriff's house with Michael inside. If you love the HALLOWEEN series, you'll love HALLOWEEN 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS!!! p.s. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Fri Oct 31 2008HAPPY THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY, MICHAEL MYERS!!! In the fourth installment of the "Halloween" franchise, it is October 31, 1988 - ten years after Michael Myers massacred sixteen people. We learn that Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasance) and Myers survived the hospital fire. Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her husband have been dead for eleven months. Their eight-year-old daughter, Jamie, is living with foster parents. Myers escapes while being transported from one psychiatric hospital to another; he is determined to travel to Haddonfield and kill his niece. How can this be when Jamie Lee Curtis reprises her role as Laurie Strode in "Halloween: H2O?" She is very much alive and has a son, not a daughter. In order to rationalize away the lack of storyline continuity, I pretend that installments four through six occur in a parallel time universe. Now that we've settled that, on with my review. "Halloween 4" has a large body count; Michael Myers is stronger and... Read more

Fri Apr 21 2006This was my favorite out of the series. Kept me on the edge. The ending was really shocking and scary. I actually was just as shocked as the people looking at the girl possessed by Myers.
