Halloween 5 - 1989 - Dominique Othenin-Girard

ONE year on from Halloween 4 and Michael Myers is back in Haddonfield for revenge - this time in a domesticated/Desperate Housewives role: skulking round the family home, hiding in wardrobes, contemplating doing the dishes between the occasional blood-letting. Domestication and daylight don’t suit Hollywood’s hardest working serial killer - H5 sees him slightly weary and otiose - which is a pity when you remember Myers’ great body of work. JJ
