    SPOILERS: Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) brings the Halloween franchise back to it's former glory with the return of Michael Myers and Dr. Loomis, and it introduces my second favorite character in the franchise, little Jamie Lloyd (who is played by Danielle Harris). The addition of Jamie to the cast helps to provide a depth to the film and the Michael Myers character. My biggest complaint with this film is mostly geared towards characters and performances: Many of the supporting characters are overacted and came across as laughable. I also had an issue with George P. Wilbur, who plays Michael Myers. Michael Myers has always been known for having a strong screen presence in the these films: Just the sight of him makes you afraid but I unfortunately didn't get that with Wilbur. He didn't have that strong powerful approach to the character which is probably the folly of the performance and the director. I give Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) a 7 out of 10.
