Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)
The first and best of what is now a stand alone sequel trilogy which pits Donald Pleasence's Dr Loomis against his old foe Michael Myers. Gorier than the original but not as chilling, although this is still a fine slasher film in it's own right. A good supporting cast of strong females - Ellie Cornell, Danielle Harris - help.
Continuing the story of Michael Myers ten years on from Carpenter's Halloween this is a fast paced and often thrilling movie. There's no 'Getting to know you' opening half hour without any shocks as Michael is in the film from the first scene.
Always fun, I like this a lot.
