Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)

Synopsis: On Halloween's eve, a dangerous patient escapes during his transfer between psychiatric institutions. He had killed several members of his family and several other people ten years before, and now decides to seek and kill his 7-year old niece. The psychiatrist that had been in charge of him tries to prevent him from doing that.
Appraisal: While it must be said that the plot of this horror film is seriously derivative, it is still mildly entertaining due to its fairly well written script and some intelligent set-pieces. Not all sequences are well staged though; for example, when the killer climbs on the back of a truck full of people, he goes incredibly unnoticed as he proceeds to killing one by one of them.
Rating: 40
