Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
Watching this so soon after Halloween II this time, my only question was a basic “how the hell?” over Loomis, lol. One little scar on one side of his face? He was right next to a gas canister! lol. But to be honest, Pleasence is such a great actor, he does ultimately overcome the ridiculousness of his character’s return.
This movie has a great sound mix – I mightn’t have noticed were it not that I wasn’t too fussed about keeping my eyes on the screen having watched it so recently. It’s definitely a movie to just have on, whether you’re in the room or not, on Halloween night – I don’t think a second goes by where it doesn’t completely sound like a horror movie.
I think I said everything else I wanna say in the older review. I of course still feel the urge to repeat, Danielle Harris is soooo cute

(this review was originally longer but I’ve been kinda abusing my computer recently and I lost it :-P)
Another horror sequel whose title doesn’t exactly demand attention, like Carrie 2 this one instantly lifted my hopes with a great titles sequence, all the fonts, colors, grainy film, etc, reminiscent of the original, Donald Pleasance in the cast, John Carpenter’s theme hinted at but not immediately in your face. I don’t think I’ve seen part 3 yet, but as far as I’m aware, it’s not necessary. Just as Part 2 followed on seamlessly from the original, part 4 picks up the same story 10 years later. It lags in the second half, but Danielle Harris is very cute and excellent as Michael Myers’ neice and the ending leaves you really kinda dying to see Part 5, which, by chance, BBC1 is showing tomorrow, so I’ll review that then

[...] Once again, I probably should’ve known (in this case long) ahead of time that this was really just a TV movie and my expectations might have been a little lower – not that they could’ve been much lower. In any case, I always looked forward to finally seeing this because, well, let’s not beat around the bush, if there’s a movie about an evil little girl, I’m so very there, lol. I figured that as bad as it could get, there’d always be that; sometimes I’m just too optimistic. I have to admit, the pleasant surprise of how good I thought Halloween 4 and 5 were probably has a lot to do with this. [...]
