Lightdeossk Captivating movie !
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Mark Habeeb I don't see why this movie got such a low rating on IMBD. I actually liked Halloween 5 a little more than 4. While part 4 was still good, I found 5 to be overall more fun and more adventures with how the plot develops. Plus this one has a more darker and scary feel to it, and it actually scared me. In this one, Jamie Loyd, Michael's niece, is mute and is in a children's care center. But she also has psychological connections with her uncle. I know it sounds a bit cheezy, but it actually plays out quite well. There is some serious tense and suspenseful scenes, in which Jamie is trying to warn people that Michael is about to kill someone, but cannot due to her muteness. This one is more campy and fun and felt more true to the slasher genre than the previous. It's also quite an exciting ride as we follow Michael and Jamie around Hadonfield and eventually to Michael's old house in a great climax! Definitely recommend this one to any Halloween or horror fan.
Gresh854 Halloween 5: The Revenge Of Michaels was a jarring experience, for the most part. The editing in this film seriously was giving me an aneurysm, and that's about the scariest part that happened during the runtime I was watching this movie. The great majority of the film is suffussed with uninspiring cheeseball moments and slapstick (yes, I said slapstick; the film attempts to add comedy into the mix) that is barely endurable. I will however admit that the last 20 minutes of this film were near fantastic. They nearly made up for the abundance of idiocy that was witnessed before, and also contained frightening, sinister moments that reminded me of what made the original so damn spectacular. With that being said, I still conclusively think this movie dropped the bomb. Even Michael Myer's didn't want to properly put on his mask for this one as shown in the actual film. (Tuck in the damn mask for heaven's sake!) We haven't quite hit "awful" yet in this franchise, but we've just encountered hitting "bad." (Verdict: C-)
IssaGuy This movie is boring and it's so rushed. It's a big hot mess if you give it two more years to make. Weak premise, poor story telling, bad script, and annoying characters like Tina. This movie would be so much better if they take their time with it like in order to have a movie made a year after is talented actors and actress to make it work and also talented production team too. The downfall of the series, not recommended at all!
Always Be Happy This film was a huge creative mess. There is so many things wrong with it that this was the "Last Halloween" film for 6 years.The events of this film take place 1 year after "Halloween 4". What was a huge misfire was that "Halloween 4" had a brilliant ending. Sadly that gets pushed to the side for "Halloween 5" and so we end up getting a typical 1980's slasher film. Here is some of the problems the film had* Killing off Rachel * * The Tina Charterer* * The Comic Relief Cops* * The Stupid Soundtrack * * The Myers House Changed * * The Mask was terrible * * The Dork with the laugh * * The Introduction of the Man in Black * * Having Jamie be a mute for 1/2 the film * * The lack of individuality for any the female roles! * * Not Showing the Deaths of the cops (In the television adds we see Michael starting to attack them) * * The Ending*Now believe it or not this film could still be re-edited into a better film. By editing down the "Tina Role" and "Policemen Roles" They could also "Edit out most of the laughs that dork does.Sadly what was wrong with this film was only magnified 6 years later in "Halloween 6".
