Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)

2/5

Halloween 4 is not a terrible movie by any means. It's simply forgettable. Unlike the first one, there are no characters to feel for, no plot to unnerve you, and no technical cinematic prowess to astound you. It was just simple slasher fare. And with it came a few startling moments, a few gory special effects, and lots of low-lit environments. What sets it apart from other slashers is the awesome Halloween theme and multiple references to the original, including its ending. This doesn't make it a good film, but it certainly made it more fun for me to watch. I really can't recommend this unless you're one of those people who are obsessed with the series. Or you're like me and have nothing to do late at night and are too lazy to change the channel.
