Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Jamie Lloyd" in English language version.
The second reason to love Halloween 4 is the work highlights the young Danielle Harris in playing Jamie Lloyd. She auditioned among several other child-actresses for this role, and she made the best of it. Jamie Lloyd reminds fans so much of her mother Laurie Strode, with her struggles to fit in with her classmates and her ability to be brave and actionable in the face of danger. Throughout the film, we all want Jamie to win, which should be the goal for any protagonist, to get viewers on their side.
On a lighter note, the chemistry between Harris and Ellie Cornell, as her protective adopted sister Rachel, gives the film an unexpected humanity.
Better viewed as a trilogy with parts 4 and 6, Halloween 5 is in my opinion one of the slightly weaker entries in the franchise but does have its moments and does contain some strong performances from the film's main stars, Danielle Harris (now a rightfully respected scream queen for the 21st century generation) and the brilliant but sadly deceased Donald Pleasance.
So, what's good about HALLOWEEN 5? Well, Danielle Harris gives another very strong performance as the long suffering niece. Ellie Cornell is also engaging as Rachel, so it's a shame that she has so little screen time.
Once again, Michael is pursuing his young niece, Jamie (Danielle Harris) and Harris is easily the best thing about Halloween 5. In an unnecessary move, Jamie has been rendered mute as the film begins, but Harris again brings a lot of gravity and seriousness to her role as this very traumatized little girl, who once again finds Uncle Michael trying to kill her on a night most kids have a ton of fun on.
Donald Pleasence and Danielle Harris are on top form, both pushing their characters to a deeper level of madness and unhinged obsession. All of this combined means that Halloween 5 holds the audience's attention straight from the start.
