Reviews for Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers
This is an uneven Halloween addition, but also more ambitious than the norm.
Completed the transition to full-fledged brainless slasherdom begun in Halloween 4 at at time when the brainless slasher film was at its very worst.
Poor Dr. Loomis' nerves are pretty much shot at this point, leading to some unintenionally hilarious moments.
I can see how the hardcore Halloween-heads can find some small nuggets of fun in this particular sequel, but in my eyes the series ended with the explosion in Halloween 2.
[The film's been infused] with a run-of-the-mill slasher vibe, complete with oversexed teenagers and moronic authority figures.
'Halloween 5: The Failure of Michael Myers' would be more accurate, though admittedly not as appealing in a mass-marketing sense.
A bit more refined in its details than the conventional horror movie.
