H5: The Revenge of Michael Myers vs Elm Street 5: The Dream Child


(This is a continuation of a contest that's started on the pages for the original films of both franchises)

These are the point where fans started to think that the franchises were really going into decline. They have their franchise novelty, but on the whole aren't nearly as well regarded as their franchise's hire ups. Their strongest points are the returns of the heroines from their predecessors with Danielle Harris and Lisa Wilcox reprising their roles as Jamie Lloyd and Alice Johnson. They try to do some new things by utilizing supernatural mental connections between our heroines and the villains (whether it is a familial psychic link or the villain entering the dreams of the leads baby she's pregnant with) and actually manage to survive another film unlike many other slasher films survivors. But both on the whole just feel a little too been there done that (At least by my taste). So, which do you prefer and why?
