Review – Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers

Okay boys and girls, let’s play a fun game called “unanswered questions.” Judging by the first sequel, the unanswered question from the original would have to have been “what happened to the Boogeyman at the end of the first one?” Halloween 2 in turn left unanswered the question: “what would happen if we made a sequel that had nothing at all to do with the first two?” Next came “would audiences forgive us for #3 if we brought Michael Myers back?” But by this point in the cycle, the only unresolved curiosity has to be something like “how many more of these will audiences sit through?” The Myers niece returns, only this time she’s mute (which is not as big a blessing as one might imagine, especially inasmuch as it doesn’t last). So basically this is just a continuation of #4, with even less plot (if such a thing can be imagined) and more random screaming and slashing. See if desperate
