A relatively uninspired entry in the Halloween series, Halloween 5 picks up one year after Halloween 4, as Myers continues to hunt for his niece -- who attacked her stepmother at the end of 4 after being possessed by Myers, and is now having visions about where Michael is. Loomis is now a gibbering, scarred lunatic, and stepsister Rachel (Ellie Cornell) is still mega eye candy. - Christopher Null
Washington Post 6 of 10
"Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers" is a prime example of the principle of diminishing reruns. Indeed, we have already seen this story before, three times ("Halloween III" digressed), and with each retelling it gets more basic: Serial killer Myers, who cannot be killed, escapes, kills and kills, is killed and killed, until it's time for another sequel. Then he either dies (not really, of course), is captured (never for more than a year, long enough to shoot a film) or vanishes. In "5," he does the latter, in what is obviously a setup for "6"... - Richard Harrington
