Review of Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989) by Marcmyworks — 14 Nov 2016
No thank you. Halloween 5 is Halloween 4's less original cousin. She likes to act like number 4, dress like her, walk and talk like her, but she is just empty inside. Plagued with the infamous rushed-studio schedule and weak script, Halloween 5 is a mess of a film.
Shot and released within a year of part 4, we see Jamie Lloyd in a mental institution voiceless and unable to cope with the previous year’s events. Briefly mentioned is the ending of Halloween 4, and it is explained away as her trauma.
Donald Pleasance returns as Dr. Loomis, and the cast is rounded out by a group of unlikeable teens. This is a typical 80s slasher that promises and delivers nothing except an unmasking of Michael Myers, which is really nothing to write home about.
