Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers English Movie Preview
Cast: Donald Pleasence, Ellie Cornell, Danielle Harris, Beau Starr
Director: Dominique Othenin-Girard
Run Time: 1 hr 38 mins
Genre: Horror/Suspense
Story: The Shape has returned to the sleepy town of Haddonfield, Illinois to murder his niece, Jamie, who is now mute. Dr. Loomis tries to save the day with the help of Sheriff Meeker, to trap the evil killer who has embarked on a bloody rampage through the town.
Bottom Line: A guilty pleasure. The knife's not blunt yet.
Movie:
After a good credit scene, the movie sucks. For a very long time, it looks like the showing-its-age Halloween franchise has completely run out of steam, hell, even the mostly well-done part 4 wore out its welcome around the 70-minute mark, but not like the first hour of this part 5. It's one year after the events of Halloween 4, even though various lines in the film say it's actually two. Since Cornell makes a relatively early exit from the film, our new teenage heroine is Tina, played by Wendy Kaplan, who sets new standards in slasher-heroine flakiness. Dr. Loomis apparently still hasn't left town after a whole year, and Jamie's been so traumatized by the events of the previous film that she's lost her ability to speak, which is a pain when she has psychic flashes of just what Michael's up to (groan).
The bottom line is that it is just another movie and does not rock. What do you say?
