Despite the police having filled him with lead, Michael is still alive! This time he takes it out on a particular little girl, but there is always Dr. Loomis to put a spoke in his wheel. But when «the demon with the white mask» seems to be over, a certain Dr. Death, a worshipper of the forces of evil, intervenes to free the murderer who had been imprisoned in the jails of Haddonfield. Useless sequel that in some finds borders on the ridiculous, Michael's saga begins drastically to lose its edge. Pleasence no longer knows what to invent to stop Myers and the public begins to have enough. Even the soundtrack, to which Carpenter no longer wanted to contribute, which in the previous chapters was a bit one of the strong points of the film, here is trite and repetitive. A last curiosity: this fifth chapter of the Myers saga is unreleased in Italy, therefore it is almost impossible to find it unless you buy it abroad or manage to see it broadcast via satellite (as happened to us); our advice, however, is not to try so hard to find it, because it is not worth it.
