The fourth Halloween is not a bad horror film, it’s tense, a little scary and it’s decent fun for slasher fans, but it doesn’t compare to Carpenter’s brilliant first instalment, which was overflowing with terrifying atmosphere and with a Michael Myers who had a truly evil aura. The Return of Michael Myers doesn’t lack atmosphere, but it feels more like hixploitation, and I was expecting Leatherface to jump from around a corner instead of Mike with his snow-white mask, this time utterly devoid of any aura. It’s not bad, the ending was a very pleasant surprise, in fact, but I’m not giving it a fourth star.

The craftsmanship is very good, although the basic procedures are copied from the first two films. The same thing happens with the subject matter itself. That wouldn't matter so much if the entire film didn't ride the wave of screenwriting dementia of the highest caliber that not only puts Michael back in the game in the most embarrassing way but also has him going after his own niece. Only the brisk pace and the final point work, whilst the rest is a perfect example of how the series is running out of steam.

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers is a good slasher film and manages to fairly successfully build on the beginning of the series. From this point, it was still possible to launch into quite good films, but we'll see. It seems to me that the theme of Michael Myers is somewhat exhausted, and he doesn't have many new angles to murder anyone or otherwise captivate audiences. However, the film continues to demonstrate that with good characters, it's possible to make a good slasher film for the third time.
