Summary: HALLOWEEN 5- THE REVENGE OF MICHAEL MYERS
Review: I THINK THE MOVIE WANS OK. BUT NOT AS GOOD AS #4. THE ACTORS THAT SURVIED FROM 4 WERE VERY WEAK IN THIS FILM, WHICH MADE IT NOT AS GOOD. BUT HELL I STILL LIKE TO WATCH IT EVERY CANCE I CAN!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Still pretty good
Review: This movie had "great last movie" written all over it but unfortanately it wasn't. This movie picks up where 4 left of but unlike 1 and 2 Meyers waits a year before going after heis niece once more. Its a rutine horror filck but had the set up to be a good horror flick, but overall it still works.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Not quite as good
Review: Set one year after "Halloween 4", Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris) is in a children's psychiatric hospital, and she seems to have a psychic connection to her uncle Michael Myers. On hand is Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasance), who wants Jamie to reveal where Michael is. But for some reason Jamie can't speak, and Loomis wants to use her as bait to trap Myers. That sets the tone for the rest of the film, which isn't saying much: Myer's mask looks too different, routine unimaginative murders, no real scares, and the introduction of a subplot involving a mysterious man dressed in black that goes nowhere. The Myers house here (as in "Halloween 4") is completely different than in the first two films. Points taken off for the death of plucky Rachel (Ellie Cornell) early in the film. The ending is unsatisfactory, and doesn't really take us anywhere. Thank God this series was rescued nine years later with "Halloween H20".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: uncle buggy man is back
Review: now here's a good halloween movie. halloween 5:the revenge of michael myers was an AWESOME movie. 1 of the best in the series. i love it how mike kind of takes control of jammie and in a way posseses her. great plot twist. he's her uncle and able to get into her head. while no1 believes her about michael except loomis who no1 believes either , it is easy fot mike to get away with his kills this time around. mike plays a game of tag(almost) with the police and that was funny.mike still wants to kill jammie cuz he thinks his rage will end if he gets her. loomis tries to convince him that his rage will kill HIM 1 day too. but michael ignors the doctors warnings and goes on still tryin to kill jammie and they finaly have him in the end.........so they thought..who the heck was that with the gun that helped mike escape...we'll just have to find out in part 6..just remember there were 2 doctors in the 1st 1. be observant and keep that in mind...great movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of the best in the Series
Review: Halloween 5: the Curse of Michael Myers, is definitely watchable for anyone. Whether you're not a fan of the series, or a die-hard fan, this film is a must-see. Series fans might not like Michael Myers mask in this entree, or how the Myers house has changed dramatically, but other than that, everything else is great. Danielle Harris is terrific! This time she shares a telepathic bond with her uncle, so she knows "who's next!" I definitely recommend this movie for any horror movie buff.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Michael's fifth shocker!
Review: I wanted to do another review for Halloween 5 : The Revenge Of Michael Myers, aswell as Halloweens 4 and H20. I previously didn't give them the five star treatment. But, I have to give them five stars because I truthfully do love all the Halloweens and everything to do with horror! Here, Michael's slashes his way threw Haddonfield once again, with a naked chick is isn't really seen naked. Here's to you Michael! And the next several sequels!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Completely unlike the other sequels, and very good
Review: The biggest reason I praise this film is its director's new style, that completely reshapes the way the film feels, the way the film was shot, and the way the film affects you as a viewer. Dominique Othenin-Girard is, in a word, merciless. I'm still unclear as to the gender of this director, but I'll say she just because I pronounce the name the French way... at least, I think it's the French way... could be some other language. Oh well, I don't care anymore. Anyway, back to the director. The first thing to capture my attention about the varying style of this fifth installment in the "Halloween" series is how Michael Myers is seen more as a character that the other members of the cast have to deal with instead of seeing him jump out of the shadows and then leap out of sight, just quick enough to make a kill. When Michael is in the room, we always see him, either in the foreground, or lurking somewhere in the fog. It's a new way of watching him in action, and it's oddly engaging to see it executed by this director I don't think we've seen or heard from since. In addition to the style, we have Danielle Harris as Jamie Lloyd, once again delivering a performance that should've been remembered around Oscar season. She is terrific in every sense of the word. I love her performance through and through, and when she is being chased through the Tower Farm by Michael Myers in a car, and the fog hits the lights of the car in some Spielbergian fashion, my heart skips a beat. Like I said, Othenin-Girard is merciless. The violence that surrounds this child is not watered down or hidden away in the shadows. It's right there, and she sees it, and is affected by it. Oh, and I give special kudos to Alan Howarth for composing a unique horror film score. I own it, and I listen to it every once in a while, when I'm tired of traditional film music. The sounds of shattering glass and flashing blades should be a part of other film scores. It's sad that no one else had the idea.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Better than the 4th!
Review: I was sort of negative about watching this movie before I saw it because the fourth one was so poor, but all in all this is a pretty good movie. I particularly liked the emotional side of this movie. Seeing Michael so emotional (an actual tear rolling down his face) was very cool. One thing I didn't like was using a mansion as the Myer's house though! Why change the house? And also the way Michael looks.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Halloween 5 really is a superb movie for Halloween fans
Review: This movie gets a lot of heat from the critics and also from Halloween fans. The critics say it had not much innovation. But enough about you. But to me, Halloween 5 is a movie which does well in the entertainment factor. Michael Myers is back to slaughter more teen's in his quest to kill his niece, Jamie (Danielle Harris). Danielle does an excellent job acting despite her age. Sam Loomis returns, (Donald Pleasance) and play's his over caffinated character once more as his obsession with Michael continues, while he gives a great performance. ("But you know where he is!") This movie was scary, which is what horror movies are designed to do. It's eccentric camera angles help with the scary moments of the movie. And the ending made us wonder which added depth to the film which is always a plus. The things fans say that are stupid about this movie is Michael's mask and the fact that his home has turned into a mansion. Those are okay arguements, but here are the ones the I think ruin the movie. The movie was slow in the middle witht the barn scene. The characters were your usual idiots which you want to see die painfully. And like the critics were saying, I think the movie needed more innovation to it. I don't want the Halloween series to turn out like the "Friday the 13th" movies. I recommend this movie to any one who likes the Halloween series. If your not, give this movie a shot any way and you'll probably like it.
