Michael Myers wakes up just in time for Halloween and only his niece, who shares a psychic link with him, knows he's on his way back into town to kill more people.
Halloween 5 has some good ideas and Danielle Harris gives a wonderful performance as Jamie, but just about everything else around her seems miscalculated. Michael's mask seems off, the cops are treated as bumbling buffoons complete with clown music, the teenage characters are shrill, and a lot of the script simply doesn't make any sense. There's at least some winning Gothic atmosphere thrown in here and there.
