Halloween is the best movie franchise but this movie is weak. The characters seemed to be rushed in from other movies from the time like Friday the 13th. I was watching Halloween 25 Years Later and they even admited this movie was rushed too quickly. Anther problem was Michaels mask. TUCK IT IN! It looks like the actor inside the suit didnt want to wear a mask, so he put it on loosely as possible. A few cool death scenes but other then that, this movie is probably the worst of the series.

This film is one of my absolute favorites from any genre. Like most sequels, it is simply a variation on the themes of the original. The Bogeyman stalks his victims, and Dr. Loomis stalks him, resulting in a 'triangular' hunt, of sorts. Of course, all of this is set against the backdrop of Halloween. What I find particularly appealing about this movie is that it fits comfortably within the confines of the series, yet still manages to be distinctive, as well. It is possessed of an aura that sets it apart from the other Halloween movies. However, it is still powerfully anchored to the essential elements of the original.
Perhaps my favorite dimension is the triangular hunt to which I have already alluded. For me, what sets Michael Myers and Dr. Loomis apart from typical villains and heroes is that neither of them derive their motivation from conventional human agendas.Myers, for example, is not driven to evil by any petty human frailty. He lives out what he is, and each action is its own reward. The same is true of Loomis. He knows, all too well, that, come what may, he has nothing to gain by stalking his patient. He has seen enough of Haddonfield to know that, no matter how much he may sacrifice, the best he can expect is to be misunderstood. He perseveres, knowing that he is risking his life for people who will never appreciate him, because this is who he is.Myers and Loomis share a bond that has been forged within the confines of the shadows.After all, the local police would suffice if all you wanted to do was to catch a shoplifter or routine hoodlum. But to combat the Bogeyman, a creature of the shadows, you need a hero who is equally at home in those solitary, dark places.
Halloween 5 makes use of the same devices that you find in the other films. The extensive cat-and-mouse scenarios, for example, with Michael Myers always just on the perimeter of the primary action.The part, early on, when he patiently stalks Rachel in her house, is effective. But my favorite sequence of this type happens later in the film, when the kids are in the old barn. This is perfectly lit, and perfectly paced, with Myers displaying all the patience of a master hunter as he silently watches his prospective victims. Once he does decide to act, the culmination is immediate and brutal. The barn sequence is one of my favorite scenes in any slasher movie.
The last half of Halloween 5 contains several of the greatest moments in the series.The car chase through the field, and the tragic death of Tina. Tina had her idiosynchrasies, but she did, ultimately, give her life for the little girl. This lends her death an emotional resonance that one does not ordinarily find in a slasher film.The final major segment, at the Myers' house, is incredible. The part where Jamie gets trapped in the laundry chute, with Michael Myers standing right beside it, is as suspenseful as anything dating back to the first film. The little girl frantically tries to scratch and claw her way back up the chute to safety-struggling with all her might to get a foothold, or some sort of traction-and, all the while, the hulking figure of the Bogeyman is only inches away, hacking furiously through the thin metal with his huge butcher knife. It is an inspired moment.
And, as always, Loomis rises to the occasion yet again. He overcomes the effects of a terrible knife wound to do battle with Myers once more.Considering his age, and the circumstances, and the fact that he takes the Bogeyman down with brute force this time-it may well be Dr. Loomis' finest hour.
There are other strong elements to be found here. The cinematography is beautiful and imaginative. There are lots of great shots where the murky darkness of the backdrops are offset perfectly by the bright crimson tones of the girls' costumes.Little Jamie's costume is used to even more vivid effect. It is possessed of a luster that makes her seem like a little sparkling amethyst cloaked in the darkness of night. The music is effective. There is a particularly nice touch at the point, about halfway through the film, where Loomis enters the Myers house. If you listen closely, you can hear gentle strains of the same music that was played when Loomis entered the Myers house in the original 'Halloween.' It adds a little nostalgic touch to the proceedings.On a more superficial note, I don't know when I've seen three such gorgeous women assembled in one movie. Rachel and Tina make a nice contrast, with Rachel being the ideal girl-next-door type, and Tina being somewhat more exotic looking.Which brings us to Sami. If I had to list the five best looking women I've ever seen, Sami would be on the list. She is a goddess.
There has been a lot of criticism directed at the more controversial aspects of this movie. The man in black,for example, or the two dumb cops. While I could certainly do without these characters(especially the cops) their presense is kept to a minimum. Out of an hour and forty minute movie, they are only onscreen for a couple of minutes. Some have been critical of the way that the Myers house has been transformed, or the way that Michael's mask looks. I simply look upon these things as this particular director's interpretation. At the end of the day, such inconsistencies have popped up throughout the series. They are no more severe in this edition than in any of the other Halloween films.
People often speak of having seen a movie 'hundreds' of times. Of course, I don't know how often they are exxagerating. For myself, there are only four movies that I have seen into the triple digits, and they all have 'Halloween' in the title(1,2,4,and 5.)These movies monopolize my imagination like nothing ever has. In this case, the special features are reasonably good, as well. I loved this movie from the first time I saw it, and I appreciate it more with the passage of time.

Ahhhh...Halloween. I can remember when the sheer mention of the movie's title would make me uneasy. The flickering (and quite sick) jack-o-lantern that stared back at me from the opening titles of the 1978 classic. The eerie music that almost drove me insane with fright as a child. The memories of Michal Myers slowly stalking his victims like a hungry animal. The way the storyline was genuine and kept its audience interested. Yes...I remember, but memories are all that is left of this once fine classic.
We have here the fifth "Halloween" installment. We have a herd of annoying teenagers that are just set up to die. A Michael Myers mask that doesn't even come close to the original (come to think of it, the mask seems to change with every sequel, man...they can`t even get that right). A snob of a director trying to duplicate John Carpenter's style (and failing miserably). An entire formula that has been xeroxed again and again. A script that should have been nominated for an Oscar (sarcasm). The entire film is just hilarious. In fact...I have had more fun sitting down and reading the negative reviews here on Amazon than actually watching the movie!
It seems that every year, right around Halloween, the USA channel shows this film as part of its festive, late night entertainment. This is what my friends & I have longed referred to as comedy night, we all sit through this turkey and laugh to our hearts content.
Seriously, this is one of the lamest attempts at horror in cinematic history so keep those negative reviews coming!

The Director of this Film required too much unnecessary blood and gore although there doesn't seem to be that much for this day in age.His strategy for the film was not the best one.The loose ends left at the end of this film would make it hard to create a good 6th film,which did seem quite impressive from its original version until most of it was reshot nd edited badly.All and All,the main problem of this film was it being rushed into production.They should've atleast waited two years bfore the 5th installment.

This is even more predictable than the fourth Halloween film, but unlike that one's straight stalk and slash fair, this is a further decline into Z grade mania. It reminded me of the third Howling film how they tried to breathe new life into the series, but instead it just seems tired and dated. AS entertainment I would give it five stars as a work of art one and a half stars. Michael Meyers' mask was simply a Captain Kirk mask painted white. Only Haloween and other diehard horror fans would want to see this unless you were suckered when this was part of 80s pop culture. Haloween is the best horror series, because they were such predictable stalk and slash films with a lot of hokey suspense. It's so cheesy you can't help but like it. I wouldn't recommend though. If you have to see just one Haloween film I would recommend the sixth entry. So bad...it's Z grade!
