Reviews for Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
Though it is a slasher movie at all points, it's an atypically intelligent example of the form...a quantum leap better than its two immediate predecessors.

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

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

And in the faint praise department: "Halloween 4" is just a little bit better than most of the sequels that followed.

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