Summary: THE WORST IN THE SERIES, HORRIBLE
Review: Halloween 4 was really good, but this movie (is bad)! In Halloween 4 Dr. Loomis says that Michael kills his family members and anyone who gets in his way. In this movie, he kills people he doesn't need to kill and stalks teens at a party when he should be going after his niece. An example is Sammy and Spitz. They didn't need to die, but they did. Another thing about this movie that I hated was that it was really bloody and gory, and was a kill fest. Halloween 1 - 4 wern't gory, but this movie crossed the line. This movie also brought in the whole subplot of the Man In Black which made Halloween 6 to be bad. I would only reccommend this movie to people who love slash fast movies. Halloween fans will be dissappointed. The mask in the movie was really bad and there was really nothing I liked that much about it. Halloween 1, 2, and 4 had a great atmosphere on suspence and terror, this movie has an atmosphere on bloody, gory, multi-killing deaths. All I can say is that this movie could have been much better. It can't get any eaiser than that. Something better to buy is the Halloween 5 soundtrack which has really great music. I am very dissapointed and somewhat hurt about what this movie did to the series.

DVD`s has anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transer and an Digitally Remastered Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and the Orignal Ultra Stereo Surround Sound with Extras as:An short documentary of the film and a Deleted Scene. Grade:B-.

Summary: Totally out of hand
Review: By this movie the Halloween movies are really exhausted and pooped out. The Myers house in this Bomb looks nothing like it did in the first two movies and the town does not look like the original movie either. Michael Myers is just rediculous and the writers have taken the story way too far to the point where it just is not scary anymore this movie is all about twisted sick things for sick outrageous people to watch.

Summary: Where's the Revenge?
Review: Let's see, we just had his Return, this is his Revenge, his Curse followed...for awhile it looked like the Halloween movies would be using the Pink Panther titles as sequel subheaders. Thankfully we were all spared Trail of..., Son of..., and Strikes Again as titles. For the record only Halloween 5 appears as the title on the film itself. After reinventing 4's cliffhanger ending, part 5 jumps from October 31, 1988 to October 31, 1989 (the year that this entry was made) and another set of victims to be in a town that really should just cancel the stupid holiday. Myers again chases his sister's daughter all over town while the quite insane Dr. Loomis (this guy needs his license yanked, and pronto) moans and groans about evil and such. While the script does attempt to develop its characters more than the average slasher flick would, it cannot overcome the far too many plot contrivances (such as having an elderly hermit keeping a comatose, bullet riddled man around his cabin for an entire year without calling for medical help or something) of the silly plot, perhaps the fault of the narrative concept concocted by series presenter Moutapha Akkad. Mr. Akkad wanted annual Halloween movies, each year 'revealing' more pieces of the mystery behind the Myers rampage. It didn't work, being all tease and no substance. Director Dominique Othenin-Girard does handle things well, packing in action and atmosphere. The movie, while a tad longer than the average Halloween outing, is far from inert and boring. It just isn't particularly suspenseful or scary. Danielle Harris and Donald Pleasance do contribute good performances and composer Alan Howarth once again creates creepy riffs on Carpenter's classic themes. But the minuses (which include a horrible cliffhanger ending) cancel out the pluses and I can only recommend this to hardcore Halloween buffs.

Summary: Pretty Good
Review: I thought this movie was pretty good. The plot is of course the same as all of the other five Halloween films that tell the story of Michael Myers. In this installment it continues where #4 left off and continues telling about Michael's attempts to kill his niece.

Summary: ANOTHER "HALLOWEEN" CLASSIC LOOKS GREAT ON DVD!
Review: HALLOWEEN 5 is a scary sequel that has all the susepnse and scares you'd expect from Michael Myers and company. You might say this is the sequel that officially made the series a "stereotypical slasher movie" but I look at movies like HALLOWEEN 5 and compare them to sequels like FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 5 and you suddenly realize HALLOWEEN 5 is a masterpiece. H5 has a dark atmosphere, some really frightening set pieces, and Donald Pleasence gives his best performance as the crazed Dr. Loomis. The DVD is pretty good, with an old documentary, "some" new interviews, a TV spot (no trailer!!) and a booklet. The new transfer is also the best looking print I have ever seen for this movie. Worth the cash.

Summary: Halloween series takes another stab at DVD
Review: This is a very good DVD. It has a very good picture and Anchor Bay knows how to make old films look like new. Note: I am rating the DVD 5 stars. The film would get 4 1/2 stars. Anyway, the movie was good and I enjoyed it. I liked it because it was scary and sometimes funny. Michael Myers mask looks the worst in this one, but its still frightning. The documentary was very good and the interviews were interesting. If you liked Halloween, Halloween 2,and Halloween 4, give this entry a shot.

Summary: A Trick And A Treat
Review: There is great debate over this film among the die hard fans. They either love it or hate it. It's a film that has definitley lost it's way, but makes up for it by being fun. Yes, I think it was quite fun. It's not near as bad as they would lead you to believe. Halloween 5 takes up where the more superior Halloween 4 left off a year earlier. Little niece Jamie now has a psychic bond with Michael. Loomis is back and uses Jamie's link to him to try and track him down. Okay, the psychic link thing was kinda stupid and a stretch for a plot but, strangely, it works. I don't know why.Danielle Harris as Jamie is one of the best young kid actors I've seen. Her performance here and in Part 4 are both very well done performances. She is real and very believeable. Plus, she's adorable. Donald Pleasance continues his roll as slightly demented Dr. Loomis, and you love watching every minute he's on screen. By this time, Loomis has gone a little mad himself. He is a determined man on a mission. He won't stop until Michael has been. It is Mr. Pleasance who is the center of these films. The heart and soul of them. Not Michael Myers. It's a huge disappointment that Ellie Cornell, who plays Rachel, has a smaller role. She's a beauty with good talent. To use her so little in this film was a mistake. She and the character of Rachel should've had more to do. The mask of Michael Myers is debatable. The forehead was too high and the hair too long. It was not a good mask. It looks nothing like the one in Part 4. Nothing happened to that mask, but it is quite different in this film. The film has really sharp choreography. It's one of the better looking films in the series. If you could only give one good credit to this film, it's that it looks darn good. The film definitley has the look and feel of October. That is very important in these movies. The scene with Michael unmasking and shedding a tear was emotional. It showed that Michael isn't a zombie or a ghost. He is real flesh and blood. He just happens to kill people. Lots and lots of people!. Don Shanks is the stuntman to don the mask this time. He is a solid addition to the mask of Michael. If only the mask were as good as he was!. One of the things that this movie does with Michael that is bad is that they turn him into just another savage slasher like Jason. Michael doesn't rack up huge body counts with excessive blood and brutal slashings. It's not the character. That has changed thru out the series. This is one where he is in 'Jason' mode. And finally, the mystery man in black was a bizarre addition to the story. What point was there to this?. Do we, the audience, benefit from this?. No. Not in the least. It was a ridiculous attempt by the screenwriter to add another story. It doesn't work. Halloween 5 is by no means a classic. It's a routine slasher film, but it's got great entertainment and suspense. A worthy sequel. Part 4 is still much better. If you still don't agree, then you can tell yourself that at least it's still better than the very hated Halloween 6.
