Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)

Written by Dominique Othenin-Girard, Michael Jacobs and Shem Bitterman. Directed by Dominique Othenin-Girard. Starring Danielle Harris, Doanld Pleasence and Ellie Cornell.

Plot: Michael comes back once more to kill little Jaime.

Let me open this by saying, I don’t like his mask in this one. The stupid man with the stupid boots shows up in this one too. Loomis spends the whole movie abusing kids…shaking them and yelling at them. It is actually pretty funny to watch though. The lore of Michael starts to get ridiculous. Sometimes fleshing a story out doesn’t add depth as intended, instead it makes things murky and sometimes nonsensical.

I like the music that follows the corny cops around. That’s entertaining. The movie is more funny than scary. Ellie was hot again, as before, and Danielle, while awesome, never listened!! They writers and director made some story decisions that I didn’t like and the ending is kinda stupid in this movie. But over all it’s pretty good. I liked some of the character dynamics, like Jamie and her little “boyfriend”. Jamie and Tina’s friendship was cool, too. This one is easy to watch over again and it’s really fun for the Halloween season! Tara gave it a 49/100 and I gave it a 63/100.
