Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers 4K 1989

According to my personal observation, fifths of famous franchises ("Friday the 13th", "Hellraiser", "A Nightmare on Elm Street") were often the last successful series and marked the milestone, after which they already began to create with the series that horrible (and whoever). Coincidence or not, Halloween is the same story. Basically, Michael Myers' Revenge is my favorite Halloween product. Purely objectively, I cannot call this film the best in the series (there are some absurdities in it, since the script was written in a hurry), but in terms of the notorious action game, it significantly outstrips all its brothers, and, moreover, has a certain touch of comedy.

First, Myers. For the apparent similarity of a dozen of his hypostases, it is this Myers with number "5" I consider the best. Elimination under the thunder and lightning of the compassionate old man at the beginning of the film is the real birth of a monster. A mask (another), a red mane, masterly possession of an arsenal of garden tools - truly, this is the Myers who personifies the threat to all existence. Absolutely all the scenes with the participation of GG, played very cool, bright and hard (I draw an analogy with a kind, but not bad "Omen 4" by the same Otenin-Gerard).

Secondly, the actors. First of all, this is, of course, Wendy Kaplan. To say that I played well is to say nothing. Tina, created by her, looked so natural and at ease on the screen that this is perhaps one of the most memorable images in the entire history of "Halloween". Considering that she hasn't been filmed anywhere else, I officially declare that in the person of Wendy Kaplan, Hollywood has lost a very, very promising actress. Next up is young Danielle Harris. Jamie Lloyd, in comparison with himself the sample of the 4th part, is heaven and earth, and progress, going by leaps and bounds. Well, and, of course, Pleasant ... Pleasant is good as always, and in this episode Loomis in his aggressiveness can even compete with the GG himself.

Thirdly, the action itself. Almost incessant action, not flooding the entire screen with blood, while capturing entirely and for a long time from the first minutes. It seems that good "watchability" is not least achieved through camera work - a sort of "floating" camera perfectly underlines the general nervousness of the situation (in the scene where Jamie runs from Myers to the basement, this is especially noticeable). In general, in terms of the number of screams, squeals and screams heard in the film, the picture clearly plugs the rest of "Halloween" into the belt. And, of course, the corridors of the police station destroyed in the spirit of "Terminator" are incredibly cool. By the way, this is the only Halloween film in which the work of the police was more or less adequately shown - the guards of the law now not only flaunt uniforms and guns, but are really trying to restore order.
