Average
The film starts with Michael escaping the hospital again! How many times is he going to escape a hospital. This time he goes after his niece. Michael can wipeout a police station and a power plant, but can't kill a little girl? What's with that? The ending was ok.

Halloween 4: the Return of Michael Myers (1988)
Starring: Donald Pleasence, Ellie Cornell, Danielle Harris, Michael Pataki
Director: Dwight H. Little
plot: The 4th installment of the Halloween series takes place ten years after the brutal events of Halloweens' 1-2 (same night). Michael Myers is being transferred from Richmond Mental Institute to Smith's Grove, when suddenly he awakens from his coma and kills everyone in the van. The Shape makes his way back in Haddonfield, and it becomes obvious that his next target is his young niece, Jamie Loyd. Michael will kill anyone that stands in his way.
review: The fourth and most fun Halloween starts with some eerie music and dark images of Haddonfield, Illinois. It takes place exactly 10 years after what happened in 1978, the story is about Michael Myers and not some silly masks like Halloween 3: Season of the Witch. While it might not live up to Halloween and Halloween 2, the Return of Michael Myers is a very good sequel and addition to the series. Dwight E. Little does a tremendous job of directing imo, of capturing enough suspense and logic in one movie, like the first had. Little might of surpassed Rosenthal's directing from the 2nd installment too, because Rosenthal had the benifit of having Carpenter reshooting a large portion of the film. No one in Haddonfield has seen Michael in ten years and oddly enough the night before Halloween they decide to transport his body while still in a coma. A coma for ten years?!... Well that's what I was thinking, but Michael awakes and escapes unharmed to a gas station where he finds a jumpsuit and a white mask- replica of the original's but not exactly the same. The Shape heads to Haddonfield in search of Jamie Loyd, and refuses to stop until he kills the little girl. The movie has some minor flaws like if there is no electricity anywhere why is there any in the Sheriff's house? The appearance and acting in this film by George Wilbur as the Shape is superb imo, he had everything down and the mask looked like a ghost itself! Michael eventually is hit by a truck, and falls deep into a mine shaft after a group of highway-patrol officers shoot him. Halloween 4 is a good installment to the series, and is a classic 80's slasher. If you want a fun and entertaining horror film Halloween 4 is a nice selecton.
overall rating: 8/10Was this review helpful? Yes - NoMichael Myers returns with a whimper
Let's just forget for a moment that both Michael Myers and Dr. Loomis were blown to smithereens at the conclusion of Halloween II and give this movie the suspension of our disbelief. Even with that in mind, Halloween 4 is as lame, predictable and cliched as any other slasher pic you can think of. While being transported from one hospital to another, Michael escapes, acquires his signature mechanic's jumper and "Shape" mask in a local hardware store and sets out to find and kill his previously unmentioned little cousin. Lots of monotonous stalking, plenty of ranting from a haggard looking Donald Pleasanse, but little suspense and less logic. Some critics actually enjoyed this one, but, other than the fact that it isn't as bad as Halloween 5 or 6, I have no idea why. Skip it.

i am a huge fan of halloween.jamie lee made the movies.she wasn't in this one.as she was not in 5-6.but this is the only one that i thought was really good.it captured the spirit of the first two films,which i didn't feel in 5-6.donald pleasance did a great job in reprisig his role as dr loomis.if you ask me(with the exception of h20)they could have stopped making them after this one.don,t get me wrong,5&6 were good,but they they couldn't hold a candle to this one.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoMichael's back...let the good times roll
The title says it all: he's baaaack! And it's good fun as he hunts down his niece Jamie (Danielle Harris) and disposes all opposition. But Dr. Loomis is still around as the bounty hunter, and he follows Michael's grisly path all the way to Haddonfield. Harris picks up the trauma factor this time (no Jamie Lee yet) and Donald Pleasance still deserves credit for his veteran skills and believability as Dr. Loomis. A great little scare flick that just plain rocks!

Ever since I saw Halloween 3, I asked myself "When is Michael Myers coming back?" Until I found out they made a Halloween 4 and when I watched it. I said "It's about time Michael showed up." Then it picks up where Halloween 5 begins. I said "It's looks like the terror will never end!

Was this review helpful? Yes - NoNot bad...at all
this movie was not bad. the sucky thing about this movie is the first 30min, it is really boring and you want to cut it off but after that it starts be be a really good movie.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoIt's good.
The only problem I got is Michael's mask. Is it me or does this new mask suck?! Why couldn't they stick with the original mask?! Oh well, it's a good movie.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoHALLOWEEN 4!!!! GREAT!!!
MINUS JAMIE LEE CURTIS, THE FILM HAD DEFINITE FLARE !!! IT TIED UP ALL THE LOOSE ENDS AND CREATED THE STORY THAT LAURIE STODES DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT, WHICH IN MY OPINION WAS AN O.K STORY LINE. WE MEET JAMIE, WHO IS LAURIE'S DAUGHTER.
Was this review helpful? Yes - Noit stinked
I dont know why im the only one that thinks that this movie was terrible. For one in part 2 you see Michael all burnt up. Then we jump to part 4 and he is suddenly all ok, no burn marks, and he is in a coma. Second the guy that played michael in this film was so bad he was funny. He just didint make you think that this was actually Michael. The towns from the first 2 movies look different from the town in this one. The mask used in this one was one of the worst masks in the entire series. But probobly the stupidist thing in this movie is the bunch of homicidal rednecks that look right out of the beverly hillbiles. If you have a chose dont pick this halloween flick.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoYes!!! He's back!!!!
He's back and better then ever! Except Jamie Lee's not in it. But this still includes Donald Pleasence trying to track down Micheal again until he can kill him once and for all.
Was this review helpful? Yes - Nopretty good
In my opinion HALLOWEEN 4 is actualy quite a good film considuring HALLOWEEN 3's box office flop and turned out to be a fairly good sucess when it was released in october 1988. Although not one of the scariest movies ever,there were certainly some tense moments and the action in the film especialy in the house scene towards the end made up for the probably not so exiting and scariest moments of the film. Both Donald Pleasence and Danielle Harris put up a convincing performance in this film,rent it out today.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoBest of the Halloween sequels
After part 2 the Myers aspect of the Halloween series was left hanging. Well in 88 this film was released and it immediately was a smash. This film is excellent. Although Jamie Lee Curtis is not in it we are introduced to Danielle Harris who is a brilliant child actress. This film is quite scarey and the ending is a nail bitter. Definitely worth owning!
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoBest in the series!!!!!!
This is the best movie in the Halloween series. It is excellent in all aspects of the production. All Halloween fans will always love this movie!!!!!!
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoExcellent. Carries On The Tradition
