A good sequel for the HALLOWEEN series although there is really no connection to Laurie Strode. This film has some good scares and a good plot. This was the last good sequel before the series went down the drain with HALLOWEEN 5, and HALLOWEEN 6.

the greatest halloween movie since halloween 1,great storyline,and unexpected revealed daughter of laurie strode appears and ellie cornell plays one of the kids laurie strode babysitted the night of the 1st movie took place.

You get to see how menacing and evil michael myers really is,i mean if they chopped his head off he`d instantly be dead,but he revealed to have known that by knocking out another guy and putting him in his costume and tricking laurie in thinking it was him thinking she finally killed him.

This movie kicks ass,but the divimax edition is way sweeter!

This is the last really great Halloween sequel. This movie just gets it right, mostly because it has characters you actually care about. It's a very fun movie with an amazingly creepy twist of an ending.

  The final minute of Halloween 4 remains as unsettling today as it was during its 1988 theatrical run. The real reason to see this movie is not for the predictable build-up, but for the cliffhanger provided by director Dwight H. Little and screenwriter Alan B. McElroy.

  The best of the sequels to Carpenter's seminal slasher movie...Directed with flair by Little, who does not blatantly ape Carpenter's style, the movie delivers a number of effective chills without relying too heavily on the kinds of tired tricks and bloody gore that have made this genre a boring cliche.

  A no-frills, workmanlike picture.

  In this film, suspense and psychological horror have given way to superhuman strength and resilience...The one effectively handled scene is the last, which promises a sequel with a feminist twist.

  Very much the cheap knockoff of its prototype, but not half as visceral.
