Summary: the underrated halloween 5
Review: Halloween 5 was great. clearly superior to 4 in terms of performances and plot. Danielle harris is excellent and its her performance that sets it apart. definately a must for both halloween and horror film fans generally. END

Summary: Deals with many new subplots, but lacks "Halloween" feeling.
Review: This one picks up a year later where the last one left off. After a year, young Jamie is living in a clinic, unable to speak, the result of the prior Halloween night. As her step-sister, Rachel, and her friends are murdered, Jamie is forced to take a stand, alongside old friend Dr.Loomis. As the story takes place, a mysterious "Man in Black" appears, showing a dark side to his nature and once again preventing ultimate peace in the tortured town of Haddonfield. END

Summary: Underrated, but still flawed...
Review: Halloween 5 is, in my opinion, the most underrated of all the Halloween sequels. People immediately bash it becuase of the Meyers house turning into a big, gothic mansion, the bad mask, the silly music that plays when the "comic relief" cops are shown, the annoying charectors, and the overrall cheesiness of it. So, the problems are pletntiful...and I agree that those are all defintely bad things, but it still managaes to entertain and scare (me, atleast)...Daniel Harris, tho she doesn't have much to say in this installment, does what she can good. Donald Pleasence again plays his role as Dr. Loomis very well. Really, the only things that irratate me (besides those listed before) include the murder of Rachael; this would have been alot better if she had stayed alive for the whole film and fought beside Jaime., and the way that Michael stalks Tina and Sammy for no reason. Then again, why did he stalk Jaime, Lynda, and Annie in the first? The box for Halloween also lies. It says something like "He's back, and this time they're ready"; well, no, they're not. And it also boast that Michael will be unmasked; we barely get a glimpse of his face in poor light. And besides, we saw his face in the first one almost perfectly already! Overall, I DO reccomend the fifth installment despite its many problems.

Summary: more on number 5
Review: the more i read over the reviews the more i feel it is necessary to properly defend this movie to those who i can sense are not horror movie fans and are biastly saying this movie is bad.
ok well first off, some of the acting is bad, yeah, the psychic, connection, well if u saw 4, ud understand, at the end jamie has become michael in a sense, creating the connection, cheesy, yes, but it does, in the horror universe, make sense. the other thing i find people whining about is the whole mystery man, he is explained eventually, so why criticize it? if that is what ruins it for you, then i think the question must be asked, if you're rating this one so low, did you even like part 1 to begin with? if you aren't even a fan of the series, then please do not speak on the quality of this film, i know very many people like that, comedy lovers, who criticize horror. if you are a fan of the series, then i can accept the dislike for this movie, but if you have no room to speak, then don't. this movie is really good, especially to those, such as myself, who were children of the 80s, and this was best to us!

Summary: the best halloween sequel
Review: this is clearly the best of the sequels, simply for the fact that it has the most memorable ending of the halloweens, and has its most endearing character, jamie. Yeah it has its flaws, but so do all movies, and these movies should only be judged by those who at least like horror movies. now what sets 5 apart is the atmosphere, it seems so much more like actual halloween then all the others, and has a much darker coloration than the others. 4 has many of the same elements as 5, but 5 just brings you more into the action with jamie all alone without rachel.
now, also u have to consider the other sequels before immediately saying this movie is bad. look at part 2, totally flawed and michael just magically gains superhuman abilities ex. pushing the nurse's head in boiling water, that burns her flesh away and leaves him perfect! now part 3, thats just a sad joke, enough said. 4 reasonably good but with lots of flaws about how michael and loomis are even alive, but overall good, and from what i've heard, the highest grossing of the sequels. part 6, psh, just trash! all new characters, except loomis, and that sad excuse for an actress trying to be danielle harris as jamie. (killing off jamie just made me hate the movie from the start) but it just introduces too much supernatural elements that make little sense and just overall blows. no wonder they made H20 leave that realm and make up a new, even gayer universe, where 4,5,and 6 do not exist. let H20 rot in hell for all time, the hands down worst sequel, not counting the sad excuse of part 3. the least deaths, the least action, the least sense-making plot, and just stupid to bring in a son now instead of jamie, as her daughter. uhg! i hope others realize how wrong H20 is! and last but not least, resurrection aka part 8; the movie that gave me hope in sequels for this series. entertaining is basically all it is, with some actual scare factor. the storyline is decent for getting others (non family related people) for michael to go after. though the writers are kind of dead-ended with this one, no one to really pursue now, but still, if this is the last, let it go out like this, than with H20!
now with all this taken into consideration, any halloween fan should agree, 5 is the best sequel to this series and the combo of jamie, loomis, and michael, will always be the best mix for halloween. if u do not agree, i am sorry, but that's how it is.

Summary: Michael Myers, the cry baby????? A VERY WEAK 2 star flick.
Review: I have seen every Halloween movie and I must say that except for maybe H2O, this is the worst of the Halloween movie series. Picking up exactly where Halloween 4 left off, we see that Myers actually survived being shot 50 times by the state police. Evidently, some idiot takes Myers in and nurses him back to health, and of course, Myers rudely thanks him by killing him just before he goes on another Halloween murderous rampage.

The problem I have with this film is the mess they made of Michael Myers. There is no possible way to reconcile the behavior patterns of Michael Myers in Part 5 with the Myers we know and love in Halloween I and II. For instance, let's start with the fact that this movie really fails to capture the Halloween theme to begin with and that obvioulsy makes Myers less convincing in his "boogeyman" role. This movie attempts to take away the enigma that defines Michael Myers' character.

In fact, Myers takes on all of these human emotions in this film. There is a particular scene where Myers is crying...ABSURD!!! That scene made Myers look like a wimp. Another scene has Myers driving this girl around town like he's on a date with his girlfriend. I can't recall Myers being all that interested in the opposite sex, other than when he kills them. I'm sorry but this is not the Michael Myers I know...the very scary, emotionless killing machine driven by an evil force type Michael Myers that was so brilliantly captured by John Carpenter in parts I & II

Also, Dr. Loomis and Jamie Lloyd both act like fools in this movie and Loomis appears to die for the second time, only to return in part 6 of course. To be frank, there really isn't a character in the entire movie that you can sympathize with.

This movie only reaffirms the fact that the only really good Halloween movies were Halloween I & II because this is where the mysterious and evil Michael Myers is at his scariest and most emotionless state...hence, the boogeyman characterization fit perfectly in these movies.

In the subsequent sequels, Myers becomes something else, in a sense more human and definitely less scary. Evidently, Myers also put on quite a bit of muscle while he was in that coma for 10 years because this Myers is considerably larger than the original.

Halloween 5 really misses the boat on Michael Myers and the Halloween theme. I know AMC has this movie on every day, but I wouldn't watch it again unless you paid me. Halloween III is considerable better than Halloween 5 and Myers wasn't even in that one.

I recommend every horror movie fan purchase Halloween I & II as no collection is complete without it, but if you buy Halloween 5 thinking it is going to be anywhere near or like the first two, you are going to be incredibly disappointed. Basically, if you love Halloween I and II, you are probably not going to like Halloween 5.
