Comments: Everything that made Halloween 4 a quality sequel is completely absent in Halloween 5. The script is a mess, as old and new characters run around screaming most of the time with no real point. All of the suspense and curiosity is gone, replaced by boredom and disinterest. Donald Pleasence's Loomis is almost completely senile by now (the transformation started in the fourth film), as he often has a blank expression on his face while shouting randomly at Michael Myers. And - wait a minute! I am a fucking idiot. The little girl from this film and Halloween 4 plays Annie in Rob Zombie's Halloween films! How the hell did I not know this? What is wrong with me? And now on to Halloween 6...
