Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers
Directed by Dominique Othenin-Girard
Following her mysterious behavior at the conclusion of HALLOWEEN 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS, young Jamie (Danielle Harris) is committed to the psychiatric care of Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence). Meanwhile, Michael Myers is presumed dead following a shoot-out with the Haddonfield Police and a fatal fall down a mineshaft entrance. But all is not as it seems. A well-meaning derelict nurses Michael back to health, and one year later he is back to kill again! Jamie finds herself the object of Michael’s murderous rage, and along with her new friends and Dr. Loomis, she tries to prevent Michael from continuing his bloody rampage.
One year following the events of HALLOWEEN 4, Michael Myers returns to Haddonfield with a vengeance.
Cast: Donald Pleasence, Don Shanks, Danielle Harris

This was a film that did the opposite for me that the first two films did which was have the first part (the first film) be good but the second part (the second film) be better. Instead, Halloween 4 was just decent whereas Halloween 5 was completely boring and didn't even really have cool kills. I liked how vicious Michael was in the previous film but this was a severe letdown in my opinion. The first two Halloween movies built each other up quite well but 4 and 5 did the exact opposite. However, young Danielle Harris did a phenomenal job with the role she had and truly was the best part of the entire film as well as on the previous movie. So yeah. 2½ skulls.
This one seemed a little bit all over the place! It's pretty standard slasher fare, but for some reason it just wasn't holding me too well. The action near the climax is pretty fun, but it's kind of hard to follow throughout. Part of the fun of these movies is wondering how Michael is gonna get away at the end. I wonder how Haddonfield is replacing its entire police force every other Halloween seasons.
Not as good as Halloween 4, but still a decent movie to watch. It’s got some hilarious stuff in it, but like I said, still decent enough.
There’s a lot to love about this film. There’s a lot left to be desired as well. The biggest compliment I can give it is I seem to be having more fun every time I rewatch it.
Good movie but Dr. Loomis harassing a mentally ill 9 year old isn’t exactly hero behavior. The storyline didn’t make much sense and who is that stupid guy who kicked a dog?
