Allan C Myers returns to Haddonfield again for more slasher mayhem. His niece, Danielle Harris, is now mute and in an insane asylum as a result of her trauma from the first film, which actually had a pretty good tag ending and was a clever callback to the first film. The second of the HALLOWEEN “Thorn Trilogy,” where the origins of Myers are explained by him being controlled by a cult forcing him to kill his relatives, although that’s still only hinted at in this film and not fully explained until the next film. That’s where this film is kind of a mess, which also features a mysterious stranger who randomly shows up to help Michael and is never explained. This was reportedly a result of post-production re-edits, which eliminated plot lines that would have explained the cult in more detail. What’s left is a slasher film that makes little sense and an ending that makes just about zero sense. Still, Donald Pleasence hamming it up again as Dr. Samuel Loomis is a lot of fun, and Danielle Harris gives a solid performance for a child actor, but I would have liked to see the film follow up on the twist ending of the prior film, which I think would have been a whole lot interesting. Overall, as bad as it is, it’s still not the worst of the sequels. That honor goes to HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION. Ellie Cornell is good as Harris’ caring foster sister, but this is a Halloween picture to skip.  Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/27/25 Full Review Garry A I was 35 minutes into this and had to turn it off. It was much more a comedy that isn't funny rather than a horror film. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Harry T Great movie, Don Shanks did an amazing job playing Michael Myers Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/07/25 Full Review Skibidi T This was a good one. It was amazing. I think it was cool that they brought back Jamie. 5 Stars (out of 5). Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Daniel C This story is just all over the place. It seems like it was rushed without a real idea of what they actually wanted to do. I feel they missed Danielle Harris and Donald Pleasance. I have tried to like this movie but I just can't. They don't have a solid story and the movie can be real dumb at times. Don Shanks as Michael Myers was the best part of the entire movie Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review Alexander S Halloween 5 sadly misfires badly losing both its flavour and plot especially after a potential relaunch for Michael Myers from the fourth film. Grading: D Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Read all reviews
