7/10
Technically the best so far

Warning: Spoilers
This movie, about the invalid Michael Myers who awakens on Halloween Eve and returns to Haddonfield to kill his seven-year-old niece, is barely a good fourth installment of the Halloween polylogy (1978-2022). This one felt like a better movie when it comes to the technical quality because of better cameras, sounds, music and more. I really liked the first half, where Dr. Sam Loomis was hunting Michael, but Michael wasn't interested in Dr. Loomis at all! Very interesting. Maybe it was because Dr. Loomis wasn't Michael's target at all, that he wasn't looking at Dr. Loomis as an enemy, but maybe as a voice in his head. Maybe his memories of Dr. Loomis from when he was a child made him have some kind of respect for Dr. Loomis? It was exciting to continue Michael's story, and that this story had something to do with Laurie Strode. However, I had high expectations for the second half, but I was a little disappointed because it was sometimes a little boring, and not very unique. It just felt like a usual hunt. Anyway, the twist did everything. What a surprise! Except from the twist, my favorite part of the movie was Danielle Harris' (as Jamie Lloyd) acting! She did such a fantastic job, and she was only 11 years old! She spoke, cried and screamed like a real child, and it was so convincing! It really brought some life to the movie. Overall, I think this movie had a good first half, mostly a weak second half, but a fantastic twist!
