First things first, I don't need to tell you the relief I felt when I found out the 4th Halloween installment saw a return of Michael. So pretending the 3rd Halloween never took place this follows 10 years from the original.
The start is brilliant, dark and very atmospheric because of the hospital, the weather and the creepy security guard behind the desk, who fills us in on the ending of the 2nd. The escape which although is a little expecting still scared me very bad! Its not long before we are introduced to Jamie, the likeable daughter of Laurie, who is brilliantly acted. The acting in this film is excellent the whole way through with other likeable characters in Rachel and the police chief. Dr. Loomis makes his return as a frail old man who although well played you cant help but feel his character is a little past it. Yet he comes back after Michael and their meeting in the petrol garage is frantic! So set up is the rest of the movie, a cat and mouse hunt for Jamie by 'the almost impossible to stop' Michael with Loomis hunting the killer.
The best bit in the movie is in the police cheif's house. It seems a very realistic setting and the 'no way out' part is brilliant. I won't reveal anymore in-case you've never seen it but this movie is by far one of my favourite's in the series. I could have hoped for no more in the return of micheal myers and the stronger, more powerful Michael Myers was a brilliant way to stop the character getting boring. So with an excellent story and great acting I'd give this movie 9.5/10!
