Halloween 5 (1989)

Loosing The Thrill Factor

A full year has passed since Halloween 4 and we begin the story again with Halloween 5. The Michael Myers story continues as "Uncle Michael" returns and goes after his niece Jamie and her friends. Jamie, being traumatized, is beginning to remind people of her Uncle Michael who is still terrorizing the townspeople of Haddonfield. Dr. Loomis is also back in search of the evil Michael Myers.

Halloween 5 is not that bad but the movie's story is beginning to loose all of its thrills - and having Michael after Jamie again kinda helps the movie to loose more of it's thrills. Now the movie series begins to fill too much like a stereo-typical slasher film.

Halloween 5 should be Halloween 4 because it is the 4th part of the Michael Myers series when you subtract out Halloween 3 which has nothing to do with the stories of Michael Myers. Therefore, the 4th movie dealing with Michael Myers is not all that bad - but the series is really beginning to sink down-hill.

6.5/10
