A bit more refined in its details than the conventional horror movie.
Top CriticA prime example of the principle of diminishing reruns.
This is an uneven Halloween addition, but also more ambitious than the norm.
Completed the transition to full-fledged brainless slasherdom begun in Halloween 4 at at time when the brainless slasher film was at its very worst.
Frustrating, confusing, loud, and offensive.
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.
Good DVD, bad movie, do what you will.
[The film's been infused] with a run-of-the-mill slasher vibe, complete with oversexed teenagers and moronic authority figures.
a step down on the quality ladder
'Halloween 5: The Failure of Michael Myers' would be more accurate, though admittedly not as appealing in a mass-marketing sense.
A relatively uninspired entry in the Halloween series.
Weak Halloween entry. Maintains the status quo, no new developments.
A guilty pleasure...the knife's not blunt yet
