If you thought Halloween 4 was crap, wait until you see Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, a title so stupid it will make you light headed. Every movie is about his revenge. What's so special about this one? Other than being a piece of shit, I have no idea.It's one year since the events of Halloween 4 and after shooting Michael Myers into an abandoned mine the good people of Haddonfield are ready to go on with their lives. Halloween arrives and SURPRISE! Michael isn't dead because your idiotic Haddonfield police neglected to actually check the mine for a body, showing you how great a film this is going to be. Michael is after his niece Jamie (Danielle Harris) again, who is out of her freaking mind after stabbing her mother with scissors at the end of the previous installment. Her parents, showing their love and affection for their adopted daughter, decide that the best way for her to heal mentally is for her to be under the care of creepy, charbroiled Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) because he is obviously a great children's psychiatric doctor.
So the film goes through the entire chop-chop, OH! there's a cat bullshit for two hours with Johnny Cash walking around town, chain smoking and looking at murder scenes. There's some kind of psychic link and tattoos... hell, forget it.
Halloween 5 is a turd. Donald Pleasence may have made the last installment tolerable, but even he can't save this lumbering, nut infested turd from bad writing, bad direction, and bad acting. You have to wonder if John Carpenter has seen any of these sequels. They just keep getting worse.
It is full of laughs, though.
