Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers Audience Reviews

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

benfrancis-40945 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.

adonis98-743-186503 Ten years after his original massacre, the invalid Michael Myers awakens and returns to Haddonfield to kill his seven-year-old niece on Halloween. Can Dr. Loomis stop him? After the confusing and terrible Halloween III the Studio decided to make another Halloween movie and brought back both Michael Myers and Dr. Loomis and as good as that may sound the end result is a film where people get stabbed by shotguns and get crashed by Michael's hands, that's right this time he has become a super villain and has powers for some reason and as insane as both Halloween and Halloween II might have been they still worked thanks to good direction and a plot that made sense at least but this time? It was a simple cash grab. (3/10)

lorcan-61881 After the "lousy" Halloween 3, fans were not expecting Myers to return and just left the Halloween franchise behind, moving on to something else..and then they got big news, Halloween 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS was on!! The film follows a new story with Laurie Strode's daughter, Jamie who is now Michael Myers newest target and goes after her on Halloween Night, while also killing a bunch of teenagers, because, it would'int be Halloween with out loads of teenagers being slashed to death. I remember watching Halloween 5 before 4 and thinking how bad the film could be as Halloween 5 was not amazing, this film was all over actually not that bad. The acting in Halloween 4 was actually quite decent, the writing was not something to rave over but was still good, Danielle Harris and Donald Pleasence nailed it as Jamie and Dr. Loomis, the other characters were just typical teenagers that I did not really care for, Michael Myers was really good in this film and his mask was very likable. Halloween 4 is not a Halloween 2 but a pretty good sequel!

Sober-Friend In 1987 I was think the following year would be the 10th Anniversary of the original film. I knew there would be a "Halloween IV". For some reason I knew they would call it "The Return of Michael Myers". Now believe it or not I even thought he would go after his "Niece". What I didn't think of was "In the past 10 years where was he"? I saw this film opening night and I saw it again the next day. I enjoyed the film. In was a logical progression of "Where to take the Story" since (At the time) Jamie Lee Curtis said "Should would never do another Halloween". Now this film is well made. The story works and Danielle Harris was very good. The ending was also shocking and well executed. I just wish "Halloween V" would of Incorporated the new direction that was promised at the end of this".
