Bill Simmons: 本片延续了万圣节系列的经典元素，但由于制作时间仓促，存在一些剧情上的不足。迈克尔·迈尔斯在片中的动作设计出色，展现了他的敏捷性和杀戮技巧。此外，影片节奏紧凑，恐怖效果显著，是一部值得重温的佳作。
Chris Ryan: 影片是一部典型的80年代恐怖电影续集，制作方式随意，缺乏深思熟虑。但影片节奏紧凑，恐怖效果显著，是一部值得观看的电影。
Van Lathan: 《万圣节4》是他看过的第一部万圣节电影，并认为该片很好地展现了迈克尔·迈尔斯的形象。迈克尔·迈尔斯是一个不可阻挡的杀戮机器，他的动机并不重要。
Bill Simmons: 影片中Loomis的角色设定受到演员Donald Pleasance能力的限制，台词缺乏激情和创造力。此外，影片中对迈克尔·迈尔斯身体状况的描述前后矛盾，存在一些逻辑上的漏洞。
Chris Ryan: 影片中Jamie的性格转变是一个巨大的、失败的尝试。此外，影片中对Laurie Strode的处理与后来的电影剧情存在矛盾。
Van Lathan: 影片中一些场景的设计非常出色，例如Jamie的噩梦场景和加油站场景。但是，影片中的一些情节设计显得有些牵强，例如迈克尔·迈尔斯能够轻易地潜入小镇并进行杀戮。
