Review of Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) by Richard D — 26 Sep 2015
In a sense, this film that returned Michael Myers to the "Halloween" franchise is a routine slasher pic. There's nothing especially good or especially bad about it. It's pretty badly constructed though.
Michael teleports all around the film with little regard for simple logic. At one point Dr. Loomis decides to hustle little Danielle Harris to her school for no apparent reason other to run away from Michael only to find him already there.
Whatever, I guess. I stopped giving a shit about what was happening long before it was over. The ending is a nice twist ... except for the fact that it uses POV shots that suggest that Harris is about 7 feet tall.
Lazy cynical film making.
