From my favorite movies..

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Admirable film.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Halloween 4 is one of the best films within the franchise, with its simple storyline and great scenes, matching the basics of the original. Danielle Harris shines as Jamie, and Ellie Cornell is amazing as Rachel becoming the hero in the end. Donald's plesences returns as doctor Lumis and does one of his greatest performances in this entry. The plot flows nicely, and the cast and characters are highly likeable, which makes you root for them in the end, making the movie more suspenseful and engaging. Some of the best scenes are the rooftop chase, the gas station scene, the truck scene and the cliffhanger ending.

Yes he has returned, because that's what the fans wanted, but Michael Myers has returned in a pretty average, but still kind of satisfying sequel, that could have been better, if John Carpenter or Jamie Lee Curtis, were involved, they are not, and the movie sort of sufferers for it. Danielle Harris is very good in the lead, and Donald Pleasence is always fun as Dr.Loomis. The problem with movie is probably the director, really didn't know what he was doing. The idea of putting Michael Myers hiding in the backseat of a car, and the guy driving doesn't notice, is pretty ridiculous if you think about it, Michael Myers is not a small guy. Also some of the slow motion shots are unnecessary, and sort cheesy, and some of the characters are pretty dumb, especially the vigilante group, who turn out to be worst than Myers. Halloween 4 is not scary at all, but it's still kind of fun to sit through. Some deaths are good, some deaths are even pretty gruesome. But the film still feels kind of empty for some reason, like the guy behind the camera is not really excited about directing a Halloween movie. It doesn't really have a style like the 3 Halloween movies before it, nothing inspired in its look, it just looks bleak, period. I don't like the Michael Myers mask look, the gun shots sound weird to me, the explosion at the gas station should have of been louder, instead it sounds, like it went mute there for a second, and no one bothered to fix that problem, very strange. And how do the cops know if Myers is in one place, if they are clearly in another, and no one can tell them that Myers is over there, this happens close to the end, I just don't get it. But Harris and Pleasence's performances are truly worth watching, and the one thing that really stands out here, is the very haunting, extremely effective ending that really sells this movie here, and if the producers had any brains, could have made a really great part 5 of it,using this exact idea, instead Halloween 5 is downright terrible. But Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers, is still entertaining, and sort of fun, see for what it is, which is not much. This could have been better, but I still liked it.

Michael Myers has been in a coma for 10 years after nearly burning alive. He's been staying at Smith' Grove Sanitarium, but tonight he's being transferred. When Michael learns that he has more living relatives, he miraculously snaps out of his coma and continues his spree."Halloween 4" is where the "Halloween" franchise starts to get just like your average 1980's horror franchise. It's fun having Myers back, and even better when Loomis returns, but it's pretty hard to suspend your disbelief so much much that you just sorta have to accept that Michael Myers has been shot 11 times, burned alive and all he has is scars on his hand. The same goes for Loomis, who only has a facial scar and a limp. The acting in "Halloween 4" is average. The only cast member, besides Donald Pleasance, that jumps out is Danielle Harris. For a child actor, Harris really gives the performance her all. You truly believe she's being mercilessly scared out of her wits by Myers. Ellie Cornel is also good as Danielle Harris' sister, but it feels like her character isn't fleshed out as well as she could be.But, when it comes to atmosphere, "Halloween 4" has it. It's genuinely creepy in a bunch of scenes and there's even a few genuine scares peppered around. George P. Wilbur makes for a good Myers. His presence on screen is intimidating and he definitely has "the walk" down.All in all, "Halloween 4" is a far from perfect film, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it. Sometimes the more soap opera-ish plot points get ridiculous (Ellie Cornel's boyfriend is cheating with a girl she knows), but, for the most part, "Halloween 4" is well balanced in it's plot. Out of all the later sequels, it's the closest in tone to the original. It's recommended, but don't expect to get the meaning of life out of it, unless you think butchering teenagers is the meaning of life.

After the interesting misfire that was "Halloween 3: Season of the Witch," the producer decided it was time to return the "Halloween" franchise to its roots. Released in 1988, the above film succeeds in doing just that and is a worthy sequel to the previous films with the Michael Myers character. Also returning was Donald Pleasence as Dr. Sam Loomis. The "Halloween" films just wouldn't be the same without him, he plays a considerable role in giving these movies their cult status. It is now nearly Halloween once more. Ten years have elapsed since the time when crazed killer Michael Myers attempted to kill his sister Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis). Both he and Sam Loomis were assumed to have died in the fire at the end of "Halloween 2." Loomis is now facially scarred and walks with a stick. Myers is in a comatose state at the beginning of the film. He is now subject to Federal law and is due to be tried if he should regain consciousness. As is to be expected, Myers is roused from his dormant state and embarks upon his latest rampage of murder. He is making his way back to Haddonfield so he can murder his niece, Jamie (Danielle Harris). Hot on his trail is Loomis who needs to convince the police that the tragedies of before might occur again. It is a race against time for Loomis in attempting to protect Jamie from her psychopathic uncle. The pace never lets up and there are some eerie and effective scenes. The plot is kept quite streamlined which is good. As soon as darkness descends, the danger is upon the town and upon Jamie. Quite a number of people are killed and Myers shows no mercy toward them. With Loomis, he makes an exception. He has a few opportunities to kill him but for some reason, he doesn't. Myers hurts Loomis for sure but never uses much force in finishing him. Could it be that he has a speck of human feeling for his former Doctor? I was a bit disappointed with how Michael Myers looks in this film. The mask he wears, is nowhere near as frightening as in the first film. In the 1978 movie, I thought I was gazing upon a mask where the eyes looked like two dark,bottomless pits. In this movie, the mask looks like something out of a children's toy store. He didn't look physically imposing enough as before either. Even so, it is something I can overlook. The dialogue is actually quite good for a film of this kind. Every scene refers to the plot in some way. Acting honours go to Donald Pleasence and Danielle Harris. They only one proper scene together but it is an effective one. Harris gives her character a lot of depth and conviction, especially when she is made all to aware of her situation. The ending includes a suitably shocking twist, I shalln't say what it is. "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers" helps to maintain the style of the first two films well. It isn't surprising that a fifth "Halloween" film was commissioned as the fourth one was being made.
