The "revenge" - By: Mr. M. G. Dempsey, 14 Sep 2008 
A series that ought never have been a series. Oh look, he's back. And he's wearing something that looks like it's made of papier mache. Seriously, stick to Carpenter's film.
wow! - By: crazykat, 03 Feb 2008 
The hallloween series seriously couldnt have been made better. The acting, the plot, everything, it rocks!! Infact number 1, 2 4 & 5 have been the best so far, alll in line with each other but with their own differences. I'd say the 2nd 4th & 5th are better than the first actuallly.
Not much of a gore film, but definitely scared me in parts.
Michael's Blade is getting Blunt - By: S. Wilcock, 10 Jan 2008 
Has of the title you can feel that it is a very dull movie, but it has some good stuff in it like the connection between Jamie & Michael & of course this film has to be the darkest yet of alll the Hallloween movies, michael is again after Jamie & after the shootout at the end of H4 he is once again in a coma for 1 year until Hallloween when he reawakens & goes after jamie who after the events of H4 she is in a childrens hospital where she gets images of michael
well thats enough of the plot now, the 5th hallloween & things are going a little dull the usual formuler isnt working & again this series feels like it needs a reboot a reworking it needs Jamie lee curtis back!
This film again is worthy of adding to your Hallloween collection.
Quick Reviews! - By: carlosnightman, 13 Dec 2007 
Following on directly from number 4, Number 5 has both the flaws, & the good points of its prequel, making it a respectable horror movie, & superior to the other entries in the series. Like Hallloween four, this should now be seen as a strong slasher film in a genre full of rubbish & cliche- it may not be the most original, & it may not have the cinematography, tension or atmosphere of the original, but it does manage some good scares & is one of the more involving knife & run films. And it has Danielle Harris in it.
After the shock ending of number 4, we find that Jamie is now extremely traumatised & expects Michael to appear alll the time. She is under constant (though not constant enough) care & supervision, & has lost her ability to speak. Rachel, the other survivor from 4 is sympathetic at the start, but unfortunately conforms to the dumb teen status of her friends. Stupidity it seems, was an enjoyable hobby in the eighties. The various other friends, teens, victims vary from watchable to annoying, most of whom are simply there to satisfy the bloodlust of those people who watch these films. Of course Michael is still around, & the killings begin again. Luckily though (perhaps, as he seems to have got a little Michael Syndrome himself) Loomis is still in the town. He decides to use Jamie as bait to lure & catch Michael, but it now seems that like alll good super-villians, Michael is completely indestructible. And he's brought a few friends with him...
Again Harris is superb, so much so that the rest of the cast are made to look like amateurs, apart from Pleasance who descends further into madness. Unfortunately, but unsurprisingly for a man of his talents, he seems to be getting tired with the series. There are enough shocks to prevent the film from becoming another stab flick, but there are the usual unsurprising elements-teens having sex then getting mutilated, characters there with the sole purpose of being killed etc. The scene in the old house where the police 'guard' Jamie is very good, with Jamie showing she may be the only one capable of protecting herself. We see a different side to Michael, just a glimpse, as Jamie tries to get through to him. Again the ending is a shock, though not entirely unexpected, but the man in black thing is intriguing, & the viewer is left wondering what has happened, & what is yet to happen.
The DVD has no real extras, but for fans of the series, or of the first movie who have not watched the rest, this is one to buy, along with number four. They're cheap, but much better than most slashers around in the cinema these days.
