Starting around Halloween 4, that masked nut Michael Myers stopped chasing his sister (played by Jamie Lee Curtis in the first and second films, as well as Halloween H20) and went after his niece. Now he's chasing her around again in part 5, but it's a lot of other people who die in the process. Donald Pleasence continues his mad-doctor bit from the earlier movies, Danielle Harris is the unfortunate relation, and Donald L. Shanks plays the monster. The film is an improvement on parts 2 and 4 (part 3 having nothing to do with Michael Myers), but it still amounts to routine slaughter with none of John Carpenter's stylistic brilliance from the original movie. --Tom Keogh

Don't Diss Donald.......2007-06-26

Donald Pleasence is hard core kids. Don't forget it. I esspecially like his performance in this film. An aggravated, gun carying, psychiatrist really looking forward to november 1st. This is a good movie that wraps up the fourth film and gives us a taste of the thorn storyline to come.

Nicley Done!.......2007-06-18

This movie is basicaly a follow up to 4 so if you liked 4 get this one. Might be a few minor disapointments but overall a good movie. And one other thing, what the hell is with that goofy mayers mask.(the worst mask of the series)

PLEASE STOP COMING HOME!.......2007-05-29

After a fairly good entry in the series,we come to Halloween 5! This is probably the worst in the series or close to it. There are just too many plot holes and the whole thing feels really contrived(even for this type of film!)I am a little harsh on these sequels,because the first Halloween is a classic. The sequels don't compare to the original and this one is really confusing and boring at times! It still delivers some shock value here and there,but nothing we haven't seen before. The film transfer is very good though and if your a fan of the series.......

"Uncle, Bogeyman, let me see..." Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers.......2007-05-13

In 1989, Director Dominique Othenin-Girard unleased the worst entry in the Halloween series to date. Nothing good came out of this entry. What came was horrendous acting, ugly teens, and a music score that is a total embarassment.

Michael apparently didn't die in the explosion at the end of #4, he escaped and traveled down a river instead. A year later, Jamie is a mute (a bad decision because she's the only main character that does a decent job) and Dr. Loomis has been keeping a very close eye on little Jamie Llyod. Racheal is going away for the weekend, but while she's packing, she dies.

More teens with bland faces who are annoying as hell and don't have a personality you will remember 20 minutes after you view the film, Jamie finally talks with about 1/16th of the movie left to go. Donald Pleasence is great as always, but the writing is so increadibly awful that he can only do so much to save this movie, and even the great Pleasence cannot save this movie from being a total disaster. Don Shanks is also the worst actor to ever wear the horrific mask. Praise God he did not return for #6.

The bonus features on this DVD are quite good the audio commentary makes the movie slightly bearable, it's more entertaining than the movie will ever be. Also, the documentary is very good and interesting.

In conclusion, this is the worst horror film sequal I have ever seen in my life. Avoid at all costs! Even Halloween die-hards will have a tough time sitting through this entry. For die-hards only.

The Boogey Never Dies.......2007-03-07

With a very shocking and plot twisting HalloweeN 4 ending. The producer of HalloweeN 4 seeing that the movie was #1 for two weeks at the box office decided to make a sequal to 4. The Revenge Of Micheal Myers sounds good until you notice this is not the same Myers from 4. Note the mask difference as soon as he escapes the mine explosion. With the last Micheal Myers being small in stature (using hockey equipment to look buff up). They hired a actor who not only taller but is a stunt man. The mask is too long. Most of all why on earth would you kill off Rachel so easily? I mean how many people who are smart in horror films ending up getting killed? Her death was too early in the film to begin with. Once again Danielle Harris does a great job renewing her role as Jamie. Her acting is well scripted with the "luandry chute* scene she did it herself. Shows how devoted she was to her role. When HalloweeN 9 or 1 comes later this year once again Danielle will be in HalloweeN. The mysterious guy in boots was never answered until it was confirmed the actor who played who also did Myers in this film had no idea why. Overall the movie was good to watch until they killed Rachel and the finale with a echoing Harries yelling "no" with a disappointing HalloweeN 6 to followed. Evil never dies is what I see from Micheal Myers no matter what people do he will be back in one way or another.
