Starting around Halloween 4, that masked nut Michael Myers stopped chasing his sister (played by Jamie Lee Curtis in the first and second films, as well as Halloween H20) and went after his niece. Now he's chasing her around again in part 5, but it's a lot of other people who die in the process. Donald Pleasence continues his mad-doctor bit from the earlier movies, Danielle Harris is the unfortunate relation, and Donald L. Shanks plays the monster. The film is an improvement on parts 2 and 4 (part 3 having nothing to do with Michael Myers), but it still amounts to routine slaughter with none of John Carpenter's stylistic brilliance from the original movie. --Tom Keogh

 TERRIBLE!!! November 2, 2008

*Some Spoilers!!*
When I began watching Halloween 5, I was convinced that it was going to save the world from part 4 and help to redeem the series...and I wasen't very displeased...until the closing act...
Who the hell was the partially invisible trench coat man with the brief case, the Man in Black? Without sitting threw the equally terrible, "Curse of Michael Myers", no one would ever have any idea who or what he is...
I mean, did the world of film go stupid for a second and just forget about explaining that piece of the plot? Or were they just so desperate to figure out a new way to get Micheal "out of jail" (like he could have been "jailed") that they created this random character for that part alone...
This was a piece of trash just like its predecessor, 4.
and after watching 6...it seems like they were trying to be "deep" with the stories...well...honestly that failed terribly...
For those who enjoy the good Myers movies, stick to 1, 2, h20, and Resurrection...
For those who want something deep, search "David Lynch", and thank me later...
 The Son Of Satan Returns To Kill His Niece (And This Is The Last Halloween That Haddonfield Will Celebrate) October 31, 2008
J. B. Hoyos (Chesapeake, VA)
HAPPY THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY, MICHAEL MYERS!!!
If you read my review for "Halloween 4," you know that I rationalized Laurie Strode's death, and other plot inconsistencies, by reasoning that installments four through six occur in the bizarre and mysterious world of parallel time. It is exactly one year since Michael Myers was shot multiple times and fell into an ancient well. The evil within him was apparently transferred to his niece, Jamie, when she touched his hand; dressed in a clown costume similar to the one Michael wore when he stabbed his sister, Jamie attempts to stab her step mom to death. She is now in a children's psychiatric ward in Haddonfield. (Would a town as small as Haddonfield have one of those? Only in parallel time.) Meanwhile, Michael Myers is lying in a coma in the shack of a hermit who lives on a river. On the eve of Halloween, Myers revives and, to show his gratitude to the old man who took care of him, he kills him. Myers proceeds to find Jamie and dispatch her. She can not speak and has developed a psychic link with her uncle. She can sense when he is near; she is gripped by a seizure whenever he begins to kill someone.
Donald Pleasance returns as Dr. Sam Loomis; he employs some unethical tactics to trap Myers - tactics that jeopardize lives. Also returning is the cute, adorable Danielle Harris as Myers' niece Jamie Lloyd. Ellie Cornell reprises her role as Jamie's adorable foster sister, Rachel, who suffers the same fate as the lone survivor of "Friday the 13th." Once gain, Beau Starr is Sheriff Meeker. Wendy Kaplan is great as the feisty, perky Tina. This installment introduces another character who will be more prominent in the next sequel; unfortunately, we never get to see his face. He wears a long black coat and black silver-pointed boots. (No, it's not Johnny Cash.) This mystery stranger follows Myers and sets up a satanic shrine in his old house.
In "Halloween 5," the acting is inferior to what is seen in other sequels; Myers and Dr. Loomis are often seen lurking in the background, behind trees and bushes, as though waiting for their cues to go into action. This destroyed the surprise factor. At first, the body count looks as though it is going to be much lower than its predecessor. Fortunately, for you high body count fiends like myself, there is the police station massacre, which provides a great ending, much like the one in "Slaughter Hotel."
"Halloween 5" tried to capture the nostalgia of the first "Halloween." There is the friendship that Rachel shares with Tina and Sammi. However, the movie is more like another sequel of "Friday the 13th." There is a Halloween party at a farm and major characters go into the barn to make love; instead, they fall victim to Myers. Also, all the partygoers decide to go skinny dipping and poor Tina finds herself alone with corpses and a deranged serial killer.
Yes, "Halloween 5" is predictable and full of plot holes, but it is still an enjoyable ride through the amusement park of Michael Myers who has clearly established himself as legendary serial killer along with Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger. This movie is highly recommended for fans of Michael Myers and fans of slasher flicks. "Halloween 4" and "Halloween 5" are better appreciated when they are watched as a double feature, considering they contain many of the same characters and actors and occur one year apart. It is also best to keep in mind that they take place in the dark and mysterious world of parallel time. Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode will return in the seventh installment of one of horror's most celebrated serials.
 a new interesting tip 4 everyone out theree!!! October 18, 2008

just a tip that box set IS NOT worth it. If you want all the movies> walmart has halloween 1 for $10, H-2, H-3 combo pack for i think $8.00 and then theres BEst bUY whom has H-4, H-5 for $15 ea. Walmart just got in recently a NEW odd never seen b4 till recent a box set of Halloween 6, 7, 8 combo for $15. Buy it if yur a hard core fan. Good $ price for 3 movies!! Plus just about anywhere has the 2007 vs of halloween for about $20 i think. so for bout $85 you can get all the Halloween movies if you got the $$$ and are a hard core fan! SOOOO wish a produceers cut of H=6 would come out. I heard its about 45min of additional footage that the theatrical release didnt show?? for whatever reason... SO there you go... AND another Halloween movie a sequal from last years (2007) will be out in 2009 i heard>?? who knows the more remakes and or ssequals they make there just ruining what few great halloween movies there are currently. If there going to make a sequal make one w/ john(josh hartnett) lauries son coming back and facing michael one last time or something like that. who knows what those joker producers will end up doing???

H5: The Revenge of Micael Myers, is said to have failed and be the worst in the series, but I can't figure out what is so bad about it. It's almost like Halloween 4, it has most of the same characters like Jamie, Rachel, Dr. Loomis, and of course Myers!
This movie also had some decent killes
SPOILER
There is a really good death scene where a couple is having sex in a cellar of a barn, and the boy is impaled with a pitchfork, while the woman is sliced up with a scythe.
Then this boy gets his faced picked with a pitchfork leading to a bloody finish.
This time, Jamie has returned back to normal by the help of a childrens clinic she stays at, shes has developed a 'boy' friend named William (Billy). She must stop Michael from claiming her just like the fourth.
This is one of my favs, why don't other people think that way?
good quality September 14, 2008
