PLEASE! STOP MAKING THESE Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989) *1/2

Even for Halloween fans this is a doozy. Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers is a 1989 film directed by Dominique Othenin-Girard and starring Donald Pleasence as Dr. Sam Loomis. Unless you see part 4 tis will be extremely confusing but essentially Michael has blown to bits and is floating on a river. He briefly becomes comatose and reawakens a year later to retun to a killing spree. As in part 4, he shares a bond with his niece Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris).





There's not much to see here except the inclusion of bizarre elements of a cult apparently protecting Michael. This leads to a sequel but depending on the version you get certain scenes may have been cut out. A disappointing, continuing degeneration of a once-proud series.





On an added note: Michael is supposed to be "unmasked" and unless you have extremely good editing machines you won't see this - but Michael had been unmasked in any case in part one.
