Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
Finally diving into the Thorn trilogy for the first time and I thought Return was pretty much a safe reintroduction to Myers. With the set up it pretty much retreads from the first film and they tried to make Ellie Cornell the Laurie Strode for this movie and it doesn't really work. What does work however is Danielle Harris who plays Jamie Llyod and it's insane how she manages to out perform every adult in the movie. Donald Pleasence is still crazy ass Loomis and that final scene was pure gold. What really sucks is Michael Myers himself, between the sh** mask and how George P. Wilbur moves as Myers is so awkward, they really dropped the ball. Also since this was made in the late 80s, you do see the influences from other horror franchises (which themselves were influenced by the original Halloween) And speaking of the 80s, this movie definitely has the stench of the Regan era between the traditional values talk, the lynch mobs and the pro cop messages, but I don't know what it's really trying to say here. Overall, Not bad but they definitely played it super safe.
