The best of the sequels to Carpenter's seminal slasher movie.

Fourth entry in the Halloween horror series is a no-frills, workmanlike picture.

Top Critic Although this is just more of the same old same, Halloween 4 is directed with some skill by B-movie specialist Dwight H. Little.

While Part 4 is better than Part 3, it is still worse than, say, being bitten in the retina by fire ants.

It seems the latest stage in some curious evolutionary pattern; the slasher species keeps proliferating and getting weaker at the same time.

The first half of the film is better than any fourth sequel in a slasher flick franchise deserves to be.

It's nothing more than a slick Hollywood movie that's relatively harmless and never all that scary.

Of all the Halloween sequels, including the irrelevant and unwatchable Halloween III, Halloween 4 stands out as the best of a generally uninspired lot.
