Halloween 4 is the only sequel that lives up to the original film in its atmosphere. Danielle Harris is excellent as the young niece of Michael Myers. With her parents dead, she is now the target of the unkillable monster. Helping her is the reliable Donald Pleasance as Dr. Loomis. I think this is the movie where Loomis's obsession with Myers starts showing through(it was only hinted at in the first two). It's too bad the future sequels did not follow in the direction as this movie. This could have moved the movies in a different direction. Halloween 5 was rather dull, Halloween 6 was overly gory, and the others are just forgettable. Still, I love this movie a lot and will watch it every year on Halloween. I give this movie a 9/10.
score 9/10
