Halloween 4 is a weird movie. They decided the Michael Myers story was played out after 2 films and came back with the weirding ways of Halloween 3, but the drop off in ticket sales caused a change of heart. "Bring back Mike!" someone probably shouted. So 10 years after the original and 8 years after the sequel we get the spinoff "Thorn Trilogy" of Halloween 4, 5 and 6. This being the first of the three, it doesn't really divulge too much, except that now Michael has returned to Haddonfield to kill a little girl, the daughter of Laurie Strode. We don't know why, but we do know that if you get in his way, he will throw you into a power plant grid, or poke his entire hand through your jawline. I have to admit, the mask looks a little goofy in some shots. But the 1980s hairdos of the younger characters more than make up for it in nostalgia points. The end landed like a dud on this old fart critic, but maybe you felt otherwise. On to Halloween 5 tonight, wish me luck. 6 rooftop chase scenes out of 10.
