Product Review

Michael returns again...

by   musicc ,   Apr 15, 2006

Pros:  Some cool kills, some suspense, good ending

Cons:  Needs more screen time for Pleasence, no Jamie Lee Curtis

The Bottom Line:  A nice continuation although it is not as good as previous installments.

Overall Rating: 3/5 stars
 

Author's Review

After viewing Halloween one and two I decided to rent the fourth since three is not part of the series. I will try to view the fifth one soon. I have always found the Halloween series to be interesting and the characters involved are usually very good.

Plot
At the end of Halloween two Michael was very badly burnt and we assumed he died but it turns out he was just in a coma. Ten years later Michael is still in a coma and he is getting transferred to another hospital. It is October 30th and Michael is in the ambulance where he learns the whereabouts of his niece. He wakes up and goes after his niece.

His niece is Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris) and her mom was Laurie Strode. Laurie is now dead and Jamie lives with her foster parents that are going out on Halloween night and need their daughter Rachel (Ellie Cornell) to baby sit Jamie. Jamie decides to go trick-o-treating and that’s where Michael must track her down. Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) is now aware of what is happening and goes after Michael.

Acting
Donald Pleasence was great as usual as Michael’s paranoid doctor. He has aged since the last movie but he still puts on a nice preference. Michael’s niece Danielle Harris is capable as a child actor but is nothing great. She is innocent enough and can scream well. Ellie Cornell is all right as her sister but is not as innocent looking as Jamie Lee Curtis which is a shame she is not in this.

Suspense factor
This movie did not have a lot of suspense compared to the previous Halloween movies but it did keep you interested without getting bored. There are moments of suspense especially with the rooftop battle. I think this movie did try a little hard to get the suspense but it did get the suspense sometimes.

Thoughts
This movie was a step down from the previous Halloween movies but it is still an enjoyable affair. I enjoyed it for the most part but I think they could have made some changes. I also think that Donald Pleasence needed more screen time because he was not in this movie a lot for it was focused on Rachel and Jamie’s situation. I thought the ending was good as it was creative and a little scary.

Overall I think this was a good movie although it was lacking some of the aspects of the first two. The movie had Michael be more of a slasher as he had a much higher body count than the previous movies. I would recommend this if you enjoyed the first two Halloween films you might enjoy this one.
