Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers

More or less a disappointing continuance of the Halloween saga. It has been a year since Michael Myers somehow survived massive gunfire and falling down a mine shaft. Upon healing his wounds he once again returns home to seek out his niece Jamie(Danielle Harris), who now herself is hospitalized and telepathic...knowing when the slasher is about to attack. Donald Pleasence, Ellie Cornell and Beau Starr reprise their previous roles. Also notable are Wendy Kaplan and Tamara Glynn. It is hard to tell if there are more squeals than thrills. My main complaint is they kill off Rachel(Cornell)way too quickly. Miss Harris is left with the most serious acting and does very well. This time it is Don Shanks playing the maniacal white masked menace. The finale is quite brutal, but is it brutal enough?

Donald Pleasence, Danielle Harris, Ellie Cornell, Wendy Kaplan and Jeffrey Landman star in this 1989 horror sequel. This entry picks up a year after the events of the last film and Michael Myers (Don Shanks) returns to finish what he started. His niece, Jamie (Harris) is in a psychiatric clinic and has a telepathic link with him. Dr. Loomis (Pleasence) returns to stop Michael once again with Jamie's help. Cornell returns as Rachel, but not for very long. Jamie has a couple new friends, Tina (Kaplan) and Billy (Landman) who also endure her fate. This sequel could've been better, but Pleasence and Harris & aren't bad and I like the intro. I still recommend this for Halloween fans.

Best thing about this one is the soundtrack otherwise it's alright. I absolutely love how someone said Samuel Loomis is the best and everyone else is going through the motions that's excellent! Lacking kills, nudity, and suspense which is disappointing to me. Honestly I think the original and remakes are the best ones otherwise the sequels get worse although Halloween II is pretty good!

There are some cool scenes in this movie. And there are some neat ideas. But it falls flat because of large number of plot holes and it's too fast for it's own good. I feel the movie would have been better if it focused more on the children. Scenes where the kids are in danger are one of the best in the movie. Danielle Harris is perfect in her role as little Jamie and Donald Pleasence gives his best, but it's not enough to save this movie from being a little more than a regular slasher, which is a shame given the greatness of character and setting. It's not the worst thing you will watch, it's just OK. Sadly, though I still haven't watched the rest, I feel that story elements introduced in this movie will take things too far. But I digress. 6/10 from me. If you are horror movie fan, watch it for fun :)
