Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Eric Stevenson I am so happy to be done with this stupid neverending film series. It was nice enough to give me a movie that wasn't that awful. Yeah, that's still not saying much. Anyway, this is the second movie in a row to be its own thing and not related to the other movies. Well, there are some appearances by characters with the same names. I don't care, because it's still unrelated. I could have sworn that I saw a brief glimpse of this movie as a kid. I remember watching a movie where a teddy bear's eye glowed and then it grew claws. I guess that was some other killer toy movie.Mickey Rooney was one of the people who personally protested against the original film as it was picketed in theaters. Now, he's actually in one of the later movies himself and there's even a scene where he dresses as Santa! I guess he either changed his mind or wanted more money. This movie features a toy shop called Petto's that gives out killer toys. The movie's most outrageous part is by far the ending. The ending reveals that the villain was Pia Petto, who was a robot the whole time! He looks like Matthew Broderick as Inspector Gadget. All I care is that I am never watching another one of these movies again. Merry Christmas! *1/2

yourmotheratemydog715 After the horrible BETTER WATCH OUT! and INITIATION, to say I had no expectations for SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT 5: THE TOY MAKER is an understatement. But, surprisingly enough, the fifth entry of the Christmas-themed franchise is actually a good amount of fun.It follows child Derek, who sees his father brutally murdered by a toy that mysteriously appeared on their front porch a few nights before Christmas. For some reason, the police do nothing about it, and Derek and his mother are left alone. But presents are still appearing on their porch, people are breaking into their house, and there's an ex-military man that follows them everywhere! What's going on? Does it have anything to do with the titular toy maker (played by Mickey Rooney!)? The film drags at times, and the acting isn't even bad enough to draw that many laughs. But where THE TOY MAKER shines is its inventive death scenes, which involve a bunch of killer toys. Obviously, PUPPET MASTER, DOLLS and the like have covered this territory before, but gruesome murder-set-pieces designed by Screaming Mad George keep this from being a complete waste of time. There's killer roller skates, army men and larvae, all of which are pretty damn fun.The whole thing looks like a TV movie, a lot of it is dull as dirt and we've seen the same plot myriads of times before, but there are enough awesome moments here (including a head-scratching ending featuring robot dry-humping) to justify a recommendation for trash fanatics. At the very least, it's a better waste of your time than SNDN 3 and 4.

Michael_Elliott Silent Night, Deadly Night 5 (1991) * 1/2 (out of 4)Mickey Rooney (!?!?!) plays a toy maker who along with his creepy son starts making and sending out toys with the ability to kill. It seems one woman and her son are under attack because her husband was killed by one of these toys and the son keeps getting new gifts left at the door. SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT 5 is the final film in a franchise that has certainly had a lot more low points than any other series in the horror genre. As with the previous movie, this one here has nothing to do with the killer Santa from the first three films but that's not a huge deal. There are a lot of problems with this thing but it's almost worth watching just because of screen legend Rooney. He was a major opponent to the first film and even wrote letters to get the film banned so it's rather funny seeing him appear in this film. One has to wonder if the producers didn't tell him this was a SNDN movie or perhaps he was just willing to appear in it due to the money. Either way there's no question that he's the best thing in the film as he actually delivers a quite good performance. He plays the psychopath role quite nicely and he also handles the more dramatic moments as well. Part of the role has the old man being an alcoholic and Rooney actually delivers these scenes very well. That's pretty much the only good thing you can say about this film as everything else is rather boring and silly. The acting is a major problem because the performances are so bad you can never really believe or care about anything going on. The screenplay, outside the Rooney character, really doesn't allow anyone to do much but at the same time if it did it's doubtful the actors could have done much with it. William Thorne plays the boys and doesn't do much. Jane Higginson plays the mother and we even get Neith Hunter who played in the previous movie. Clint Howard also appears in one quick scene. The story is a pretty big mess as it takes forever for the thing to get going and when the ending finally comes and the twist is revealed you can't help but roll your eyes at how dumb it is. The one highlight in the film comes when a young couple begins to have sex on a bed and Rooney, in a Santa suit, drops off some of the killer toys. During the sex scene a fake hand joins the action and I must admit that it had me laughing. The toy attack that follows also has a lot of imagination but it's just a shame that the rest of the film couldn't have as much.

Zbigniew_Krycsiwiki This time we get a psycho toy maker named "Joe Petto" (seriously?) who makes living, evil toys that kill people. He goes after the family who has the bad luck of just simply living in the same house where he and his anatomically incorrect, robot son "Pino" used to live. Late in the film, Petto dies, and Pino even assumes his identity, in perhaps the most baffling twist in this twisted movie.Derivative entry in this semi-series, this one has a bizarre, pedophilic bent (Maybe that is why the character's name is Petto(phile?) which makes it difficult to watch.It's kind of like a low rent hybrid of "Halloween III", "Puppet Master", and "Demonic Toys". In fact, they should have just titled this "Halloween III, Part 2", instead of copying Silent Night Deadly Night 4's amazingly generic, spiralling title card.
