I'll try the style I used semi-successfully in another life here on IMDb and see how we go.
The Plot: A year has passed since the events of Halloween 4, and Jamie Loyd finds herself mute and living in a child mental institution. She has developed a mental link with her Uncle Micheal, who's been nursed back to health by a rather nice fisherman, who Micheal thanks by killing him. Jamie senses her Uncle's presence, gaining the interest of Dr Loomis. His worst fears are confirmed as Loyd sees her sister dying and it actually happens. Loomis decides he will use Loyd to capture Myers and eventually the three of them are stuck in Micheal's old home for a thrilling finale, involving coffins, corpses and a locked coal chute. The film then ends nonsensically with a man in black boots kidnapping Myers and Jamie from a prison cell at the end film's conclusion.
The script: Uneven. Starts well, meanders through the middle in boring fashion, has a thrilling showdown and then a ludicrous ending.
The acting: Harris, as Loyd, is excellent. Pleasance hams it up to great effect as Loomis. Don Shanks is a terrific Micheal. Right shape and great mannerisms. Supportng cast is rubbish, particularly Wendy Kaplan as Tine. Cornell, as Jamie's sister Rachel, was good in Part 4, but under used here.
The film making: the scenes with Harris in the mental hospital are effective, the entire chase at the end, form the woods to the house and then in the house, specifically the coal chute was outstanding. The rest of the movie was fairly unremarkable. Shame you couldn't take the chase at the end of this and add it to the end of the fourth one.
Overall: Reccomednation to rent. Some of it is ludicrous, but the actual main event of the film, the big chase, is superbly done. There's a ridiculous ending and a lot of pointless exposition to endure along the way. But the coal chute scene alone is worth the price of a rental.
Tame sex scenes and nudity included.
