I wish he had been given more screen time, but overall he is solid.<br /><br />- Sheriff Meeker is a strong character. Not a bumbling, idiot cop.<br /><br />- I love the scene in which Loomis gets a ride from a crazy Christian fundamentalist. This scene adds a bit of depth to the film and Loomis' character. He sees a future crazy vision of himself if he allows his neverending pursuit of Michael Myers to go on indefinitely. No other slasher film I have seen has a scene quite like this.Villain612https://www.blogger.com/profile/14182867823309914822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14812333.post-80917036881947028642012-11-11T17:59:26.207-06:002012-11-11T17:59:26.207-06:00What I love about Halloween 4 (and I'm a big f...What I love about Halloween 4 (and I'm a big fan of slashers in general, despite their general terribleness) is that it gets to pretty much all the same points that most slashers of the time got to, but it gets there in ways that make sense. There's a REASON why they all split up. There's a reason why Rachel and Jamie have to run upstairs and eventually on to the roof. There's a reason the power goes out. So on and so forth.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546972990126033036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14812333.post-64381804262929997922011-12-06T15:09:04.227-06:002011-12-06T15:09:04.227-06:00Great review.

We're introduced to a couple of teens <i>who even have names</i>, and yet they're not spectacularly slaughtered.Maltehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162595103855533887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14812333.post-85985815331512230602008-10-21T12:57:00.000-05:002008-10-21T12:57:00.000-05:00Hey, thanks for this incredibly fair and detailed ...Hey, thanks for this incredibly fair and detailed review.
