Reviews for Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers
Top CriticThis is an uneven Halloween addition, but also more ambitious than the norm.
10/28/08
Completed the transition to full-fledged brainless slasherdom begun in Halloween 4 at at time when the brainless slasher film was at its very worst.
08/11/08
Frustrating, confusing, loud, and offensive.
08/27/07
Top CriticPoor Dr. Loomis' nerves are pretty much shot at this point, leading to some unintenionally hilarious moments.
08/18/06
I can see how the hardcore Halloween-heads can find some small nuggets of fun in this particular sequel, but in my eyes the series ended with the explosion in Halloween 2.
07/20/06
[The film's been infused] with a run-of-the-mill slasher vibe, complete with oversexed teenagers and moronic authority figures.

'Halloween 5: The Failure of Michael Myers' would be more accurate, though admittedly not as appealing in a mass-marketing sense.
11/29/03
A relatively uninspired entry in the Halloween series.
11/04/03
A bit more refined in its details than the conventional horror movie.
