A Great Slasher Film

This is usually near the bottom of the franchise when people ranks the series, and the clown cops, Myers mansion and 1 year sleep are definitely red flags for the film. But these things aside, I thought that Halloween 5 was everything it could be, and I prefer it to 4 by a long shot. This time characters aren't just no name cops, there's dramatic tension between Loomis and Lloyd, it has the guts to kill off a previous survivor whether we like her or not, the death scenes are more creative and actual 'theme scenes', and here's the kicker: I think Tina is the best character in the film.

Some of my positives are actually negatives for a lot of people, but I think it works, has a great gothic vibe, it has noticeable talent behind the director's eye, and Harris is given so much more than a "whiny child" role. And Cookie Woman. I see it as a stand alone film, and I place it up there with the first 3.
