Halloween V: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)

Film number 5 picks up the story one year after Halloween IV (1988) and insults the intelligence of the viewer at almost every turn: MM’s Rocket Man escape, his brief Frankenstein moment that goes nowhere, the teenagers with the neon sign above their heads that reads ‘I'm only here to be killed,’ a question posed that every viewer will be asking themselves remains unanswered, the mystery man with the shiny toecaps, etc. I applaud bringing fresh ideas into the franchise, but don’t half-ass them.
Donald Pleasence is great as always, and the little girl (Danielle Harris) is fantastic, even in an overly long dragged out chase scene that left no doubt where it would end.
