Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers 4K 1988

The fourth part of the adventures of the legendary masked assassin Mike Myers. In terms of plot and art, I did not find any special differences from the previous and subsequent parts. In general, I get the feeling that all the films about Myers were shot according to the same script, only the victims and a little scenery change. And that's all. He consistently hunts from picture to picture for some of his relatives from the past (how many relatives does he have?), And the police and Dr. Loomis prevent him from doing so. It's the same here.

While being transported from one hospital to another, Myers naturally escapes and goes on Halloween to his city to hunt his, it seems, niece. The methods of his work with the population have not changed: fist, pipe, knife. The comrade does not recognize any firearms, but he loves to hang the opponent on a hook or chop him up with a machete. He walks slowly and expressively, like the performer of the role of the shadow of Hamlet's father in the theater. Or like Boris Karloff as Dracula. While he, slowly moving his legs to expressive music, approaches his victim, the victim can successfully escape from him more than once, but usually does not. For such moments are very loved by the authors of the picture, who believe that the viewer is frightened by this. And the slower Myers goes, the more the viewer should be intimidated.

True, I do not belong to such spectators, and the horror genre has progressed significantly since the first 'Halloween', and therefore this picture did not frighten, but rather amused. Then, in '88, it may have become a box office hit, but now it looks like a cheap outdated horror movie with an incomprehensible man in a white mask.
