Movie Reviews of Halloween 4 - The Return of Michael Myers (Divimax Edition)
Movie Review: The Night Michael Myers Came Back Home
Summary: 5 Stars
It's about time that they finally got around to making a HALLOWEEN IV resurrecting Michael Myers from Halloween I and II.
This was a great Halloween addition and the Michael Myers mask was a little more sophisticated as well as creepy and ghoulish, but Michael Myers(George Wilbur)wasn't as spooky or as sneaky as he was in the first 2 Halloweens, since Michael didn't do his heavy breathing the way he did in both Halloween 2 and the original, plus the music score in Halloween 4 wasn't quite as good nor as creepy as the music scores used in both the original and Halloween II.
On the other hand, Halloween IV made a great resurrection by bringing Michael Myers back in 1988 after Halloween III: Season Of The Witch bombed at the box office back in 1982 along with the fact that me and a lot of other Halloween fanatics had wished for Michael Myers to come back as well as another Halloween addition to the Halloween saga to plot a revenge in his hometown(Haddonfield, Illinois) after 10 years trying to repeat the same damage and ordeal he caused in Haddonfield back in 1978.
It's just too bad they had taken so long to make a Halloween 4, which didn't finally come out till 6 years after the cheesy unsuccessful Halloween 3 came out, because between Halloween sequels that took place between the original and Halloween III, they ended up waiting 7 years to make another Halloween sequel with Michael Myers in it, since the last Halloween installation with Michael Myers prior to Halloween 4 was Halloween 2, which came out in 1981, which was a pretty long time to wait to bring back the successful character of all the Halloween movies, but I don't think director(Dwight Little) did as good of a job with Halloween IV as John Carpenter did in Halloween I and Rick Rosenthal did with Halloween II.
Therefore, I think Halloween 4 probably would've been better and quite a bit more shocking if John Carpenter had directed it, since he did a phenomenal job making Halloween I along with all the music scoring he did in both the original and Halloween 2, which reminds me that HALLOWEEN IV came out the same year that both FRIDAY THE 13TH-PART VII: THE NEW BLOOD and NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET-PART IV: THE DREAM MASTER did, since FRIDAY THE 13TH-PART 7 was released in the movie theatre in the Spring of 1988, NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET-PART 4 was released in the Summer of 1988 and HALLOWEEN 4 was released in the Fall of 1988.
The one thing that baffles me that didn't make a lot of sense about HALLOWEEN IV is how was Michael Myers able to see again and how was Michael Myers able to know that his kid sister Laurie Strode(Jamie-Lee Curtis) was dead and how was Michael to know what his niece Jamie(Danielle Harris)even looked like since Michael had both his eyes shot out in HALLOWEEN II and had been in a coma for 10 years after Halloween night of 1978 and how would he even know to track his adopted niece instead of his sister, since Laurie was no where to be found and was supposedly dead already, since Michael had never even laid eyes on Jamie along with the fact that Michael had already been in a coma before Jamie was even born.
But my guess on why they had decided to bring Michael Myers back by making HALLOWEEN 4 was due to the fact that HALLOWEEN 3: THE SEASON OF THE WITCH had toppled so badly at the box office back in the Fall of 1982 after it was released in the movies back in October 1982, since HALLOWEEN III had no Michael Myers, no Dr. Loomis(Donald Pleasance), no Laurie, and no Sheriff Brackett(Charles Cyphers), especially no Michael Myers.
Overall, Halloween IV was not a bad flick, even though Halloween 4 wasn't quite as good as the first 2 Halloween's, but was still way better than HALLOWEEN III: THE SEASON OF THE WITCH was, especially since HALLOWEEN 3 was the weakest sequel to the whole Halloween saga and was totally unrelated to the rest of the Halloween sagas, especially from HALLOWEEN I and II.
