Editorial Review - Amazon.com
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
so-so installment of the Halloween franchise
A Customer Review by movie fan
you can't really talk about H5 without talking about H4, since H5 is really the sequel to H4. I found H5 a bit of a letdown compared to H4; still, there's only one Michael Myers, and it's always good to see him kicking a--.
What's missing is Jamie Lee Curtis, who was so good in H1 & H2....she would re-enter the series in H20, where, once again, she is brillant.
Speaking of brillance, Donald Pleasence is the glue that holds all these Halloween films together.
A So-So Sequel
A Customer Review by Taheen Lopez
HALLOWEEN V: THE REVENGE OF MICHAEL MYERS is not the best of the Halloween saga sequels, but it's not the worst either although HALLOWEEN 5 had some bizarre twist & turns in this movie that didn't make sense that were also unsatisfactory as well.
For instance, they showed a guy with a hat wearing a black trench coat & some boots not explaning to us who or what he is or what he has to do with the movie or with Michael Myers, but for some reason they had shown that mystery man shoot up the police station and to free Michael leaving us another cliffhanger at the end, just like they did in HALLOWEEN 4:THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS, except I don't think HALLOWEEN V was as good as HALLOWEEN IV or even the first 2 Halloweens for that matter either, which reminds me that HALLOWEEN 5 came out in the movie theatres the same year A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET-PART 5: THE DREAM CHILD and FRIDAY THE 13TH-PART 8: JASON TAKES MANHATTAN were released in the movie theatres, since FRIDAY THE 13TH-PART VIII and NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET-PART V were both released in the Summer of 1989 shortly before HALLOWEEN V was released in the Fall of 1989.
Unfortunately, Jamie's sister Rachel(Ellie Cornell) dies off in this sequel while Michael awakens again from another coma to stalk his niece Jamie(Danielle Harris)again while Dr. Loomis(Donald Pleasance) gets hot on Michael's trail again to stop and kill Michael once and for all again after so many failed attempts, except this time Dr. Loomis gets Sheriff Meeker(Beau Starr)to help him attempt to stop Michael for a second time in HALLOWEEN V, even though the Haddonfield, Illinois Sheriff ends up dying off at the end this time.
