Poor Dr. Loomis' nerves are pretty much shot at this point, leading to some unintenionally hilarious moments.

I can see how the hardcore Halloween-heads can find some small nuggets of fun in this particular sequel, but in my eyes the series ended with the explosion in Halloween 2.

[The film's been infused] with a run-of-the-mill slasher vibe, complete with oversexed teenagers and moronic authority figures.

'Halloween 5: The Failure of Michael Myers' would be more accurate, though admittedly not as appealing in a mass-marketing sense.

A bit more refined in its details than the conventional horror movie.

for most of the running time, one wonders what is the purpose of the movie outside of rehashing old slasher cliches
