#halloween Halloween 5: Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)

Michael Myers, the killer psychopath has once again survived the gunshot wounds after the police chase and, obsessed with revenge, continues to search for his little niece to kill her. Jamie has been hospitalized and due to traumatic shock has lost speech capacity. However, she has developed a telepathic link with her uncle Michael and knows she's still alive and is looking for her to get revenge..

Unfortunately in this installment you begin to notice much more the lack of ideas that your predecessor had, since basically it is more of the same and it seems that ideas begin to be scarce and is what happens with this delivery because it becomes a very regular delivery. However it has convincing performances, a story that although splicing with the previous one leaves many things to be desired, it is true that it has appearances and tense situations in the film. Michael who went pretty well, terrified and has several well-accomplished scenes, but the problem comes as far as the script, which repeats itself to satiety, Michael Myers does not die and again goes to Haddonfield to kill the niece, why don't Michael's relatives leave at once in that city?, show that between the girl's brain and Michael's there is a connection, certainly something that is pulled out of the sleeve the director like that because yes, with a Michael who always knows where he is and then to kill right and sinister without seeing a drop of blood yet, on top they introduce a mysterious man in black who don't tell you anything about him and that is the protagonist in the end leaving you thousands of unknowns. Besides, not counting excessive sex scenes, actresses wear little clothes, making it look more like a porn film than a horror movie.

Ultimately a fifth installment very regular in decline, follows the story of his prequel and offers some more than decent performances and some scenes of tension and accomplished appearances, but has many failures in script full of fantasies and with many incongruences.
