Just to clarify the tally, Myers has been shot about 10 times, stabbed in the eye, and blown up. Yet, he survived all of that just so he could get his Kirk-faced ass back to Haddonfield and kill whatever relation is still there. And trust me, the pickin's are getting slim. Laurie Strode died in a car accident, leaving her only daughter with a foster family. In the most original plot device ever, Michael escapes during a transport between sanitariums. With that, the hunt is on for young Jamie Lloyd, orphaned daughter of Laurie.
Michael seems to have super strength now, despite being comatose for 10 years. I would think muscle atrophy would be an issue. And despite his lumbering around at half a snails pace, nobody can seem to out run him. Dr. Loomis, on the other hand, now sports a limp and new facial scars from the explosion in the 2nd film.
One of the biggest annoyances of this movie is Jamie's visions of Michael Myers. How could she even know what he looks like? She was born long after the events in 1978. One scene even includes a vision she has of what young Michael was wearing when he committed his first murder. How would she know that? Well...there is an explanation of that and a small tease at the end of this movie, but largely you'll have to wait till #5 for the full story.
This movie is slow, boring, and pointless. The kills are typical, and one is even comical in a sarcastic way

| It was a loaded shotgun. Rather than pull the trigger, he impales her. It's like smacking someone to death with a scabbard rather than use the sword inside. |
And in the end, even though you see Myers shot with countless rounds of bullets and then rammed down a mine shaft that conveniently collapses, it's all for naught because you know there's a 5th film and so on.
Sunday: It's like Night Rider, but with 100% less Hoff.
