| ERIC HIERS: The fourth sequel in the series is where everything goes wrong. Picking up one year after H4, Jamie (Danielle Harris) is the care of the local children�s clinic after what happened with her at the end of the last one. She has become almost mute and has a psychic bond with her uncle, Michael Myers, who has been asleep in a hermit�s mountain cabin for a year. He wakes up on Halloween Eve, and kills the hermit and makes his way to Haddonfield. As Michael mutilates his way through characters (including a likeable H4 character), Loomis (Donald Pleasance) tries to get Jamie to help him trap the unstoppable killing machine. The two, along with the Haddonfield cops set a trap for Michael at the old Myers house (which looks nothing the one from the first two Halloweens). From then on, we get a somewhat decent climax and an ending that screams sequel. This movie seems rushed and seems like the filmmakers thought Halloween was Friday the 13th, because that�s what this movie reminds me of, a Friday the 13th sequel. It has its few moments, but overall it is a huge disappointment. * 1/2 RANK: 7 out of 8 DEREK SHARP: A sequel to a sequel is what this film should be called since it picks up immedately after the last film and a year later. Even more interesting is Loomis role, now has become a guardian of sorts to Jamie, who is still plagued by Myers'. Only difference now is that Jamie has a telepathic connection to her uncle, which helps Michael find Jamie even better. |
