Movie review - "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers" (1988) ***

 Odd movie. Half really good - strong story, expanding lore, terrific ending, Donald Pleasance hamming it up, Kathleen Kinmont having fun as a teen minx, a young protagonist ups the stakes, there's memorable set pieces in a school and on a roof. You can feel someone on the movie trying to make it good.

Against this is a bunch of illogical movements and silly scenes. A little more care and this could've been special. Much better than I'd heard.
