Halloween 5 | Year: 1989 Classification: Horror Directed: - Dominique Othenin-Girard Actors/Actresses: - Donald Pleasence Halloween 5 really is a superb movie for Halloween fans This movie gets a lot of heat from the critics and also from Halloween fans. The critics say it had not much innovation. But enough about you. But to me, Halloween 5 is a movie which does well in the entertainment factor. Michael Myers is back to slaughter more teen's in his quest to kill his niece, Jamie (Danielle Harris). Danielle does an excellent job acting despite her age. Sam Loomis returns, (Donald Pleasance) and play's his over caffinated character once more as his obsession with Michael continues, while he gives a great performance. ("But you know where he is!") This movie was scary, which is what horror movies are designed to do. It's eccentric camera angles help with the scary moments of the movie. And the ending made us wonder which added depth to the film which is always a plus. The things fans say that are stupid about this movie is Michael's mask and the fact that his home has turned into a mansion. Those are okay arguements, but here are the ones the I think ruin the movie. The movie was slow in the middle witht the barn scene. The characters were your usual idiots which you want to see die painfully. And like the critics were saying, I think the movie needed more innovation to it. I don't want the Halloween series to turn out like the "Friday the 13th" movies. I recommend this movie to any one who likes the Halloween series. If your not, give this movie a shot any way and you'll probably like it. A great edition for a forgotten horror movie Michael Myers (Don Shanks) returns a year later after being shot to pieces in a cemetary and buried in a mine shaft to pursie his niece (Danielle Harris. This installment into the Halloween series was panned by quite a lot of critics and recieved quite a bit of abuse from a number of Halloween fans. This movie is not as bad as it has been credited. It still has plenty of scares, thrills and action for any horror fan. This DVD edition was a great tribute to the all the fans of the Halloween series. The edition that I have looked at is the limited edition. This means that it comes in a tin case and contains a 48 page booklet whcih contains some really good and rather interesting photos. The DVD itself is presented well. Although the movie was originally going to be THX Mastered, the picture quality is still very clean, not showing any signs grain or wear and tear, and the audio is a very well presented 5.1 Dolby track which really adds a loud slicing sound to the pumkin cutting in the opening credits. The extras are a very short introduction by Danielle Harris and Elle Cornell, a very interesting documentary with interviews with Director Dominique Othenin-Girard, Director of Photography Robert Draper, Don Shanks, Danielle Harris, Elle Cornell and Executive Producer Moustapha Akkad. It also contains a trailer which looks more like a TV Spot than a theatrical. It would have been good to see a commentary track by Dominique Othenin-Girard, Robert Draper, Elle Cornell and Danielle Harris. But overall its a very pleasing treatment of a very under-rated horror film. more on number 5 the more i read over the reviews the more i feel it is necessary to properly defend this movie to those who i can sense are not horror movie fans and are biastly saying this movie is bad.
