It's clear that the filmmakers didn't know where this was headed, and the result is an aimless, muddled mess.

It's peak absurdity for the franchise, but Halloween 5 commits the far more egregious sin of also being rather dull.

Sub-par filler for completists of the series only.

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.

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.
