772. Halloween 5 : The Revenge of Michael Myers ( 1989 )

 Easily  the  worst in the franchise to this point Halloween 5 was  a  rushed job and it shows. The  first 20  minutes set  the tone  with lunatic pacing, wild over-acting and  really  poor filming  and  editing. It  culminates in the  suicidal decision to kill off  the  character of Rachel giving the lead female role to a character you actively want Michael to slaughter. Thereafter the film is a lost cause , a predictable and boring reprise of its  predecessors  with only  the  performance of young  Danielle  Harris  having any merit.

Danielle Harris ( as Jamie )

Sex : n/a

Death : Survives

Danielle returned to the role of Jamie and  is  the  best  thing in the film.. It undermines the  shock ending of Halloween 4  by  intimating  that her  stepmother survived the knife  attack by Jamie.

Ellie  Cornell ( as Rachel )

Sex : Rachel takes a shower

Death : Michael stabs her in the chest with a pair of scissors

Ellie  returned to  the  role of  Rachel but  was  rightly concerned that  her  character was killed off so early in the film.

Wendy Kaplan ( as Tina )

Sex :  There is a brief nip slip when Tina is running from Michael

Death : Stabbed by Michael

This  was  Wendy's  first film in a career spent mostly on TV. She  appeared to have retired in the mid nineties but  reappeared in a couple of horror films this  century under  her  married name of Wendy Foxworth.

Tamara Glynn ( as Sam ) 

Sex : Sam has sex with her boyfriend

Death : Michael decapitates her  with a scythe

This  was  Tamara's  first film role after a string of  TV appearances . Her  career apparently  petered out in 2001  but  in  the  last  10 years she  has  embraced  the  role of a horror  icon and  appeared in numerous films.
