It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

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.

Halloween 5 was a massive disappointment when I watched it. This film lacks suspense or even scares. Michael isn't scary or even menacing, his new mask looks like the face of constipation. There are so many annoying side characters in this film and pranksters who dress like Michael, so when the real one shows up...it isn't scary. However, there are a few things I really liked. Mainly, Danielle Harris and Donald Pleasence, however the writing for his character was lazy...just like the rest of the writing in this film. In the end, this is a lazy, scare less, disappointment of a film.

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!

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".
