"Halloween 5" is the worse "Halloween" film according to many fans. Now this is not my favorite entry either. The worse sequel to me however is "Halloween Resurrection". In fact many fans don't know that "Halloween Resurrection" was filmed with 4 different endings but no matter what ending the studio would have picked that film will still be "terrible". However "Halloween 5" which was released 13 years before "Resurrection" had the most promising begging however they didn't go with a set up that the ending "Halloween 4" suggested and so we got this disappointing sequel. One of the major reason why this film is not fully loved/liked by fans is because the character of Tina is annoying and so is the characters of "Spitz" and the "Silly Cops" "The Man in Black" and "A Stupid Ending".
About a month ago I decided "What if" I re-edited the film. I cut out as much as "Tina" "The Cops" "Spitz" and eliminate "The Man Black Angle". I thought that maybe the film would work better and I went to work. After I was done editing the film it was 14 minutes shorter and plays much better.
In this film Jamie and Michael Psychic Link is cut down. The film opens that with Jamie waking up it somehow awakens Michael where he has been hiding. (The Hobo was eliminated)
The ending was re-worked. Jamie hears an explosion in the Sheriffs office and she sees all the police are dead and Michael is gone. "We don't know what happened as an audience" so its a mystery.
Trust me it plays better than it sounds and I loaned it to someone who had never seen it before and thought the film was "good". When I loaned him the original version he almost turned it off because he hated the film and found it boring. The first version he said "It kept moving".
I never told him which version was mine. He thought I took all the deleted scenes and added back into the film. SO he thought the theatrical cut was mine.
So at the end of the day if this film can be re-edited into a more enjoyable film then who's to say it can't become a great film if they release the deleted footage.
In case you didn't know this film has 15 minutes of footage that has never been scene by the public. The original beginning, Michael Stabbing Jamie's leg and him taking out 4 cops at the children's hospital. This is what is known to be shot. What else is collecting dust in a film vault is unknown to me
