Movie Review: Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989) ReviewHorror Lists: The Halloween Franchise Ranked Worst to First
Critic Reviews:
While a step forward in production values, some of The Revenge of Michael Myers’ content is very much mired in late 1980s moviemaking.
With Halloween 5 it fell flat on its arse, resulting in a film with fantastical elements that lacked the “fantastic”, and traditional kills that were less exciting than tradition dictated.
What salvages Halloween 5 is Jamie Lloyd, and the remarkable young actress playing her. So long as The Revenge of Michael Myers is looking through the eyes of this severely damaged yet unexpectedly resourceful child, we actually get to see the movie it’s trying to be.
