As the title unsubtly suggests, the film-makers responded to the lukewarm reception for Halloween III with a return to formula. Michael Myers and Donald Pleasence's Dr Loomis have both somehow survived the explosion at the end of Halloween II and ten year's later Myers reurns to Haddonfield and goes after Laurie Strode's orphaned daughter ( Jamie Lee Curtis having declined to reprise her role). While not containing too many surprises, it's an effective slasher with a shock ending that still delivers a punch.
