Also I have much to say about the comparisions of Carpenters Halloween to Zombies but I shall save that till you review them. However, there is a new visitor in town - a man dressed in black who quietly walks the streets with an unknown but sinister purpose. It seems the makers had some good ideas, but abandoned them along the way. Whoever goes next, please amend that! People would tattoo it on themselves for protection. He was the boogeyman, the enigma that somehow was always there, even if you locked the door, bolted the windows, and turned off the lights. Director Werner Herzog used the story to parallel the rise of Nazism.
Lurking and stalking, Jamie, Rachel, and Rachel's friends, Michael forms a plan to lure Jamie out of the children's hospital where events lead up to the confrontation at the Myers house. Bottom line is he didn't really add much to the plot. Halloween 5 clearly needed some more work done. Donald Pleasence is one of my very favorite actors. But not a whole lot of people would have picked up on that unless they were horror movie freaks like I am. The plot is okay and the kills are at least decent.
As I said the pacing was very mixed; despite a running time of 95-minutes there were too many scenes that were a bit pointless and slow the pace down rather than moving it forward. The returning cast is great. I'm not sure why there is so much hate for Halloween 5. He is rather good looking. Director Dominique Othenin-Girard may not be a master of the horror genre, but he crafted several scenes that are the strongest of the series. The characters lack the depth of some of the previous characters and seem to be there just to add to the body count. Starting with the part where they use Jamie as bait to lure Michael into the Myers Mansion weird? Also that they should have made him more messed up in the shots where you see his face.
This is not a terrible movie, but it's not perfect either. Always felt bad for that poor hermit. Dominique Othenin-Girard and cinematographer Rob Draper do create a solid visual look. The kids are dumb as fuck and instead of rooting for them you just wish those dumb fuckers would die and it takes away most suspense. It's not that I didn't like the character, because I did.
There's also the Man in Black sub-plot who is explained more in the next movie, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, but apparently at the time of filming this movie, no one knew who he was supposed to be. What better to watch on Halloween than a horror Halloween movie? Had the script been polished up in some areas I don't think it would be one of the all time greats, but the final product would have worked more. Join other movie fanatics in our CyTube. What is his connection to Michael? Classic Horror Movies, Dark Poetry, Halloween Movies, Horror Movie Trailers, Short Horror Films, and Horror Movie rentals. The characters unlike the past Halloween movies are more of your standard slasher movie characters.
Also, why does he wear a mask? The little girl Danielle Harris is telepathically linked to her uncle Mike. As for those damn cops, I think everyone has touched on them briefly. Maybe the writers continued this by making him look fine after being burned and shot at. I have to admit Halloween 5 is a movie I like a lot more than I should and I sometimes think I like the movie for more what it could have been instead of what it is. Again Dominique Othenin-Girard isn't what I would call a great director, but he does get some things right here and the chase scene in the final act he very much delivers. But killing off Rachel who was a major character in the previous so early on shows us anything is possible.
Tracking down a streaming service to buy, rent, download, or view the Rob Zombie-directed movie via subscription can be difficult, so we here at Moviefone want to help you out. Donald Pleasence returns as Dr. Michael survives the shootings and on October 31st he returns with a vengeance. It could have been trimmed down just a bit though. Of course the downside is we lost a great character, but like I said I liked her death early on because it showed nobody is safe.
Even that annoying-as-hell scene between Tina and that other friend the virgin who dresses like a slutty devil and gets killed in the barn — another spooky Myers segment! Nearly two decades after being committed to a mental institution for killing his stepfather and older sister, Michael Myers Tyler Mane breaks out, intent on returning to the town of Haddonfield, Ill. But the problem was I really don't think there were many directions to take the character. During this visit, Carter realizes that the death of his brother was not accidental, but a murder. Halloween 5 had some interesting ideas, but the execution wasn't really working well. No, he has a normal face. They dont use things from the last movie, like you said the girl killing; and him being shot, stabbed, and burned;yet perfectly normal looking.
It was obvious the guy was hurt and the way the scene plays out the hermit doesn't seem to know who Michael Myers is. Halloween 5 feels more like an early draft rather than final. Houses do not grow; I would have liked to have seen some kind of explanation on why the house is so big. Jamie finds herself the object of Michael s murderous rage, and along with new friends and Dr. All that prevents Dracula from continuing his demonic practices is the self-sacrifice of Lucy Harker, played by Isabelle Adjani. I have never gone back to watch it again.
