This is an excellent film skip 3 and watch this!!!!Wednesday, March 16, 2005
This is alot better than "Halloween" 3. The plot is simple. Once again, we find the Mad Man escaping from a mental hospital. His target is once again Haddenfield Illinois. After failing to kill Laurie Strode in Halloween 1 and 2 he returns and this time his target is her daughter Jaimie Lloyd. What he doesn't know is that Dr. Loomis also escaped the blast from Halloween 2 and is tracking Michael. He gets help from Sheriff Meeker the new Sheriff in town. Toeghter, they hunt Michael down before he tracks down Jamie. To make matters worse there is a blackout and Jamie and her step-sister Rachael are trapped in Sheriff Meeker's house. Worse, Michael is in the house. First, he kills one of the Sheriffs then he kills Sheriff Meeker's daughter, then he kills Brady (Rachel's boyfriend). Finally, he goes after Jamie and Rachael. The two escape to Haddenfield Elementary and meet up with Earl and his friends and they transport them out of Haddenfield. Michael gets on Earl's truck and kills his friends and finally Earl. Rachael runs over Michael and Jamie gets out and touches him. Mekker arrives with his sheriff's and togheter they take down Myers. This is an excellent fim. There is non-stop suspense and awesome killings. There is also an excellent ending. If you've seen it you know what i'm talking about. If you haven't just remember the beginning of number 1 and there you go. Don't miss this. It's an excellent film.

2.85 Star slasher flick...not bad but not great either.Monday, February 28, 2005
In Halloween 4, Michael Myers returns to action after 10 years of being in a coma. Also, Donald Pleasance returns as a scarred but still living Dr. Loomis. However, that being said, this movie really fails as a competent sequel to Halloween 2.
First, the movie fails to capture the Halloween theme as John Carpenter did in Halloween 1 & 2. There is just something that Halloween 1 & 2 had that all of the sequels do not and it's not so much the acting as it is mood and/or motif. I think John Carpenter had a lot to do with the genuine Halloween theme in the first two movies and he was not a major contributor to Halloween 4.
The plot is centered around a young child named Jamie Lloyd, evidently the daughter of Laurie Strode, (Jamie Lee Curtis-Halloween) and she is tormented by a nightmare of Michael Myers coming after her. However, these dreams prove to be prophetic in that Michael Myers is enraged when he discovers that he still has a living relative. Myers discovers this while lying down in a comatose state in an abulance being transported to Smith's Grove. In his anger, Myers sticks his thumb into the skull of one some doctor/paramedic...great scene. Evidently, Myers has also put on quite a bit of muscle while he was in that coma for 10 years because this Myers is considerably larger than the original.
Anyway, he returns to Haddonfield and racks up a pretty good amount of victims in his path including shoving a shotgun into the stomach of some teenaged girl. The plot is very predictable as Myers kills his way to try and get a hold of his niece. At any rate, the movie really doesn't deliver the goods like the original Halloween and Halloween II, but nevertheless, there are quite a few good kills in this movie and that's why I give 2.85 stars, but definitely nothing special. Halloween IV is pretty good as far as the slasher type flick is concerned, but it really fails to deliver the horror to the audience like Halloween and Halloween II.
So, if you are in the mood for a slasher film, you might want to pick this up, but if you are in the mood for a really good Halloween movie, buy Halloween 1 and 2.

Another Great Sequel That I Highley RecommendTuesday, February 08, 2005
Hello, this is a good scary sequel. It is also very dark and scary. The beginning is great and the music and the mental hospital mood is great. Michael is now after his neice Jamie Lyod, Laurie Strodes daughter. He stalks people and anyone who gets in his way. There are a lot of scary moments in this one when you don't know what will happen which makes it really entertaining to watch. Donald Pleasance does another good job as Michaels' Psychiatrist and warns the town to get people off the streets. The ending is brillantly done and scare the wits out of me. I highly recommend this movie if you want to get scared again!

horror movies; -like; -"Urban Legend.." -1998.. -A really
cool flick, -which, -Robert Englund; -did. -Stick two

story and has the same plot and I don't know whats the
fuss about ignoring them.
I did like; -Halloween: -H20. -But it went down hill
threw out the movie.. -And these movies just stick with
the formula and not be dumb at imitating.. -Never mind.
