Beyond the Trilogy: The 17 Best Part-Four Movies


For some franchises, a fourth film is a jumpstart that reminds us all why we loved these movies in the first place.

He faces international supercriminals, hijacked nuclear weapons, sexy ladies with rocket launchers mounted to their motorcycles, killer sharks, harpoon guns, and even a guy in pretty convincing drag, and Connery looks great doing it all. The first Michael Myers story told outside the confines of that one horrific night in 1978, Halloween 4 follows the slasher as he wakes up from an explosion-induced coma and goes after his niece Jamie (Danielle Harris), while mad Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) resumes his endless pursuit. Throw in some all-time great Wes Craven kill scenes — including an opening sequence for the ages — and a wonderfully arch performance from Emma Roberts, and you’ve got a Part Four that’s not just worthwhile, but flat-out vital.
