In an attempt to recreate and re-introduce Michael Myers to the carnage of Halloween, the film makers abandoned the idea of making a different Halloween every year with a different plot line. Having focused Part 3 on a mad toymaker with the intentions to poison the mind of vulnerable kids, Part 4 finds Myers in a coma ten years after the original horror. Halloween, 1988. Laurie Strode is dead and big brother Michael Myers is being transferred to a low security hospital, having not moved or flinched since he was burned up in the Haddonfield Massacre of 1978. However, a seemingly telekinetic link to his sister's 8 year old kid, Jamie, awakens him and he makes ...  Read the complete review

After the bomb that was Halloween 3, the fourth part of the series gets back to its roots with Michael Myers back after 10 years in resting. This is the first Halloween film without John Carpenter at the helm and it shows, however this film is not nearly as bad as it could have been, in fact, as sequels go, this is a worthy effort. Set 10 years after that fateful Halloween night in 1978 where Myers hacked and killed his way through horny teenagers, no-clue guards and some unfortunate nurses we join the life of the latest of Myers' relatives, his niece Jamie. Laurie Strode is nowhere to be seen and this is because she has 'died' so she is ...  Read the complete review

Warning-some spoilers ahead. This is an excellent entry in the series and a great return after the disappointing Halloween III, that had nothing to do with the Myers storyline whatsoever. It's great to see Dr.Loomis return, but best yet,Mike's return! He really steals the show in this one. The killings are quite gruesome and Mike is really strong in this one (he actually ripped a guys neck apart and drove his fingers into another!) George Wilbur is great at playing Myers and is right up there with Dick Warlock. The special FX are pretty good and the end battle terrifying. The plot is great and the story and script is pretty good. The ending is quite creepy and is  Read the complete review

Michael Myers is back again for another round of slice and dice! This is actually a very good sequel in the series that has a very good 'Halloween-esque' atmosphere about it. Myers has been in a coma for 10 years since the events from the second film and he wakes up to stalk and kill his niece, Jamie. Hot on the trail is Dr.Loomis, again, played by Donald Pleasence. The gore is fairly heavy but not over the top, about the same as the second film, I'd say. There are some good, eerie sequences in the big house toward the film's end. Imagine the stalk scenes between Michael and Laurie in the original, only ...  Read the complete review
