I dissagree with his assement of Halloween 4
For me 4, 5 and yes even 6 still have likable characters that I root for, well maybe not all of them in 5 but the carry overs form 4, the autistic kid and even the main new girl.... and of course the Dog.
I actually think in 4 the supporting cast is better written then in the original.
