Hosted by Andrew Quinn, Darren Mooney and Joey Keogh, this week with special guest Peter Keenan, The 250 is a weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released Saturdays at 6pm GMT.
This year, we are running a season looking at the films in the Halloween franchise. So this week, Dominique Othenin-Girard’s Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers.
It has been one year since Michael Myers’ return to Haddenfield. Although the authorities never found the body, life has continued as normal for the inhabitants of the small down. However, Halloween night brings its own surprises, as the serial killer returns to Haddenfield to finish what he started and avenge himself on the last surviving member of his bloodline: his niece, Jamie Lloyd.
At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
