Summary: Still a big mistake
Review: Every time I see this movie there is a mistake. The mansion.Not to mention the set light that wasn't hidden.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: NOT GREAT
Review: This is probably my least favorite Halloween movie (next to 3 of corse)but you should still see it if youre a big fan of the series. RATED R:FOR STRONG VIOLENCE AND LANGUGE AND FOR SOME SEXUALITY

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Without Ellie Cornell, this movie sucks
Review: The only realistic written, likable and well acted character in Halloween 4, 5, or 6 is that of Ellie Cornell's Rachel. She made Halloween 4 and gets killed a half hour into Halloween 5. What were these people thinking. Yeah, I'd really rather watch a mute pre-teen dressed as a cicus clown and an old man who overacts battle the bad guy. What market research did they pay for to come to that conclusion. Overall, the plot is slow and the movie tiresome. Check out 1,2,4, or H20 for anything worthwhile.

With any luck, Ellie Cornell will be resurrected.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A slight letdown from Halloween 4
Review: In my opinion, the best was the original. No. 4 is my second favorite because of the eerie scenes in the neighborhoods (dark shadows, fog, blowing leaves). It recaptured the suspense that No. 2 lacked because of the unrealistic darkness in the hospital. Even at night, a hospital is never that dark and empty, even during a power outage! No. 5 was good, but a slight letdown from No. 4. I thought the continuity from the end of No.4 to the start of No. 5 was done very well, showing how Michael escaped the mine shaft and survived to kill again next year.

The scenes were scary and thrilling in the tradition of Halloween, but what ruined it for me was the old Myers house. It looked like some old, huge castle instead of the home we saw in No. 1 and No. 2.

I am big on continuity in sequels, and it would have been much better if they had shown the same house from 1 and 2. If they had done this, I would have been more impressed and given this review an extra star.

Don't get me wrong, I have all of the Halloween films (except for No. 3), and I love all of them. No. 5 had its moments. One thing done well was keeping us in suspense as to the identity of the man in the silver-tipped boots. We learn in No. 6 that it is a former colleague of Dr. Loomis who is out to harness the evil of Michael Myers by using Jamie's baby.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SCARIEST MOVIE EVER!!!
Review: Indeed, this is the scariest movie I have ever seen in my life, so watch it in the dark with your dog. Eat a hot dog! I love the ending, when Michael Myers escapes from jail. Jamie is so hot!Rachel, sorry you died with scissors; Tina, sorry you died by being stabbed in the woods. Samantha was doing the nasty in the barn with Spitz, and he got stabbed with a pitchfork...Sammy got SLASHED with a sickle!!!! Masterpiece! I love how Jamie bangs her rear on the laundry chute!! Classic. You get to see Michael stab Mikey, Tina's boyfriend, with a garden claw! You also get to see Rachel's stuff.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great edition for a forgotten horror movie
Review: Michael Myers (Don Shanks) returns a year later after being shot to pieces in a cemetary and buried in a mine shaft to pursie his niece (Danielle Harris. This installment into the Halloween series was panned by quite a lot of critics and recieved quite a bit of abuse from a number of Halloween fans. This movie is not as bad as it has been credited. It still has plenty of scares, thrills and action for any horror fan. This DVD edition was a great tribute to the all the fans of the Halloween series. The edition that I have looked at is the limited edition. This means that it comes in a tin case and contains a 48 page booklet whcih contains some really good and rather interesting photos. The DVD itself is presented well. Although the movie was originally going to be THX Mastered, the picture quality is still very clean, not showing any signs grain or wear and tear, and the audio is a very well presented 5.1 Dolby track which really adds a loud slicing sound to the pumkin cutting in the opening credits. The extras are a very short introduction by Danielle Harris and Elle Cornell, a very interesting documentary with interviews with Director Dominique Othenin-Girard, Director of Photography Robert Draper, Don Shanks, Danielle Harris, Elle Cornell and Executive Producer Moustapha Akkad. It also contains a trailer which looks more like a TV Spot than a theatrical. It would have been good to see a commentary track by Dominique Othenin-Girard, Robert Draper, Elle Cornell and Danielle Harris. But overall its a very pleasing treatment of a very under-rated horror film.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Halloween 5- Limited Edition Tin
Review: Halloween 5 had just been released in a Limited Edition Tin. The package is nice but the Picture is quite bad.It is not as clear as the one Anchor Bay Released for Halloween last year. Extras is not really much, the deleted scene is no good.I am quite surprise that they did not remaster the film and there is only one trailer included which is too little !!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Magnificently Entertaining!!!
Review: Once again Michael Myers is back! I found this film very gripping. Probally one of the best sequels to the halloween series! A weird and cool ending

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If only all the sequels were like this one.
Review: I wanna be quick in my review, because after all it's just a personal opinion. Halloween 5 presents the kind of atmosphere and characters I would like to see in a future sequel. H20 was superb, but something about the story of Jamie Lloyd and her uncle really hit a nerve with me. 4 and 5 are like 1 and 2. Made to be together, classic ti'll the end. 4 and 5 give that small town feeling, the evil presence, the fun loving teenagers who party on halloween while Michael prepares his domination. I can't put a finger on it, but 4 and 5 are very special. like 4, part 5 is scary, suspensful, moving, and dark. It takes its time (unlike the rushed H20)and sets a mood. A foundation with the residents of Haddonfield. True, Ellie Cornell (Racheal) could have lived longer, but you win and loose. But with Halloween 5 I guarantee you will WIN!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Some info on the LE and the normal version
Review: Just so you know the LE will come with the tin case and a booklet, other than that the 2 DVDs are the same thing. The LE contains the indentical disc the other version has in it. I personally ordered the normal version because they're hard to fit in with the rest of the set. I just wanted to let everyone know that they are the same disc so don't be fooled and order the LE for more money if you don't care about the tin case and booklet.
