    SPOILERS: In the fifth installment of the Halloween franchise, Michael Myers returns to come after little Jamie one more time. While I didn't like the direction they took Jamie's character and the story, I did enjoy the film. As in the previous film, some of the secondary performances are laughably over the top, but the character of Michael Myers (who is played by Don Shanks) returns to original form with a scarier and stronger Michael. I wasn't a huge fan of how Michael was utilizing a car as a weapon and I thought this degraded his character and his suspenseful hands-on approach to killing. I give Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989) a 6 out of 10.
