not that awful...
14 March 2002
...yes it's a bad movie, but what did you expect of a 5th installment in the "Halloween" series. After the excusable part 4 the Hallowen franchise should've been killed. I'm not saying that this movie is terrible, sure it's a bad horror movie but it's ok if you want to waste 90 minutes of your life.

This time Michael got special powers to "stay tuned" with his niece Jamie Lloyd, he also got the ability to drive, and the ability to swim.

This movie is wrong in several aspects such as the plot. We don't get a reasonable explanation about the "man in black" (well, until Halloween : The Curse of Michael Myers - the worst of the sequels), and it seems that everyone lost respect to Michael, he isn't scary anymore.

What saves this movie from being buried in the bad cinema graveyard is Donald Pleasance's performance, and I think that Ellie Cornell is the cutest girl in any 80's horror movie.

If you are interested in the Halloween series, watch the original, part 2, and... if you are in the mood, part 4.
