Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)

In 7 words or less: The Revenge of Michael Myers, again.

Best bits? Watching the greaser get claw hammered in the head is surprisingly fun! But Jamie's realistic fits are not. (they are frequent) A psychic link to Myers sounds a lot more fun than it is. Dr. Loomis has the stand out role again, and this time gets to have a go at Myers with a two-by-four.

Did it make you think thoughts? I found Danielle Harris' Jamie a bit too realistic to find this too enjoyable. It's basically watching a 10 year old fit and scream for 2 hours. I also imagine that because I'm watching these on consecutive nights, that they are wearing me down so my scores probably can't be trusted. It's a confusing movie tag-line; 'This time they're ready for him'... no they're not! They are particularly unprepared!

Would you watch it again? At a kids birthday party maybe? This or Pet Semetary.

Rating (out of 100%): 42% More of the same, a bit more comedy a bit more gore.
