	Author	Review
United States	Variety Staff Variety	"Fourth entry in the Halloween horror series is a no-frills, workmanlike picture"	NEU
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"[It] actually provides about 90 minutes of reasonable, slasher-based entertainment - nothing deep or momentous to be sure, but enough shocks, scares, and campy fun to make it worth a rental(…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Kim Newman Empire	"Its incredible that a film could be so closely patterned on Carpenters still-thrilling original movie and yet be so stupid, unscary and plodding as 'Halloween 4' is (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Eric Goldman IGN	"Nothing can match the original, but this arguably the one Halloween sequel that truly delivered."	POS
United States	Richard Harrington The Washington Post	"[It] is very much the cheap knockoff of its prototype, but not half as visceral (...) The script seems to have been written by telegraph."	NEG
