Leave your thoughts about Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers.
| FulvueDrive-in.comChuck O'LearyPoor Dr. Loomis' nerves are pretty much shot at this point, leading to some unintenionally hilarious moments. |
| Miami HeraldJuan Carlos CotoHalloween 5, which was directed by Dominique Othenin-Girard and opened yesterday at area theaters, is a bit more refined in its details than the conventional horror movie. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Sub-par filler for completists of the series only. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullA relatively uninspired entry in the Halloween series. |
| DVDTalk.comScott WeinbergI 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. |
| Washington PostRichard HarringtonHalloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers is a prime example of the principle of diminishing reruns. |
| IGNEric GoldmanHalloween 5 is a poor film by itself; the fact that it's filled with huge dangling plot threads that were given a bad pay off in the next sequel simply cements its badness. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair[The film's been infused] with a run-of-the-mill slasher vibe, complete with oversexed teenagers and moronic authority figures. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonCompleted the transition to full-fledged brainless slasherdom begun in Halloween 4 at at time when the brainless slasher film was at its very worst. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonThis is the same infinitely repeated plot of "Halloweens" 1, 2 and 4 (3 took a slightly deviant turn), with the same unkillable bogyman Michael Myers, wreaking the same programmed havoc, and Donald Pleasence as the same distraught psychiatrist, repeating the same dire warnings to no avail. |
