Editorial Review:
"You can't kill the bogeyman," the children insist to a terrorized Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) in the original Halloween. How right they are. Laurie is gone, but guess who's back in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers? Acting as if the third entry never existed, this installment picks up 10 years after the original, with mad maniac Myers in a coma and moved to a new facility. But wouldn't you know it that as soon as a loose-lipped orderly lets slip that Myers has a surviving niece he springs back into action, leaving a bloody trail of corpses on the road to Haddonfield. Donald Pleasance returns as Dr. Loomis, scarred and crippled from his last encounter with Myers and seething with a fanatical zeal to stop the freak from repeating his previous rampage. Pleasance is the best thing about the film as an aging hero seemingly on the verge of madness who drags a bum leg in his manic rush to save little orphan Jamie (Danielle Harris), the 10-year-old waif terrorized by her homicidal uncle. Director Dwight Little has managed a generic if professional slasher picture, rife with improbabilities and dominated by a killer whose superhuman powers reach near-mystical dimensions, but he delivers the goods: shocks, stabs, and cold, cruel killings. --Sean Axmaker

Rating:  - Welcome home Michael.
After the insulting part 3, Hollyweird wised up and brought Michael back.
This was good and bad, good to have Michael back, bad because like part 2 it continues to veer further and further away from Carpenter's original vision.
Bloody, gory, a somewhat interesting story line.
I have a hard time recommending this to anyone but the most diehard Halloween fans.
If your curious though, give it a shot, you might like it better than I did.
But I though the series should have ... Read More
Rating:  - The best of the series
To me Halloween four was the best of the series. What a way to reinvigorate the franchise. I watched this after recently seeing the remade Halloween, and have to say. This one is still the best.
The suspense is great as you watch Jamie try to escape from Michael Myers. Donald Pleaseance returns in his role as a driven Dr. Loomis.
I broughbt the Divimax to help comlete my collection of Halloween films, and was pleasantly surprised by the picture and sound quality. It was ... Read More
Rating: - Collectables
The spooky atmosphere makes these films. I recommend this Film to anyone. My favourite movies are pts 1-5. Pt 1 - 3 brings me back to my youth and the DVD transfers are fine, if you are after something intelligent, this is not for you, for the films are a fun and entertaining session of good-looking horny teens getting slashed. Not great but what the hell its all popcorn stuff anyway. If anyone is interested in Halloween collectables, email taylor5821@hotmail.com
Rating: - Welcome back Michael..It's About Time
It's about time that they finally got around to making a HALLOWEEN IV resurrecting Michael Myers from Halloween I and II.
This was a great Halloween addition and Michael Myers mask was a little more sophisticated as well as creepy and ghoulish, but Michael wasn't as spooky or as sneaky as he was in the first 2 Halloweens, since Michael didn't do his heavy breathing the way he did in both Halloween 2 and the original, plus the music score in Halloween 4 wasn't quite as good nor as creepy ...

Rating: - Another great sequel
What does a horror icon, a bunch of shotgun loving red-necks, and a crazy doctor all have in common, A fun movie called Halloween 4. Michael is back and is scary as ever. He has escaped, once again, and he is heading back home. Loomis is also still alive from Halloween 2, and is right on Michael's tail. Loomis fears Michael will find Laurie's daughter, Jamie. It's a fun movie and does have it's scares.
