Natal Sangrento 5: O Horror na Loja de Brinquedos

After subpar sequels 2 to 4, had lowered expectations for this final film in the franchise.

This film is different in comparison to the original but it works in a sense. The plot is creative and makes sense. There is a sense of intrigue as it starts out relatively mysterious and confusing where many things do unfold as the story progresses. Clever twists in the end.

The aspect regarding the toy owner and his creepy teenage son with these killer toys makes for an interesting story. How the intro began regarding the killer toy killing the character left us wanting more.

What ultimately makes this film watchable is not only is the acting passable, the characters are solid and the lead mother and her child son are easy to root for. There are some unique kill scenes, one highlight involving a young teenage man and girl in the bedroom where these killer toys go completely rogue.

A lot better than part 4, also noting that the lead female Kim and the boy Lonnie appear here with lesser roles. Perhaps not on the level of the original but it's certainly at least the second best of the franchise.

A young boy sees his father killed by a toy that was anonymously delivered to his house. After that, he is too traumatized to speak, and his mother must deal with both him and the loss of her husband. Meanwhile, a toy maker named Joe Peto builds some suspicious-looking toys, and a mysterious man creeps around both the toy store and the boy's house...but who is responsible for the killer toys? despite being a part five in a weak (With the exception of part four and this one) and dead end series, SNDN5 is a very good horror film that is lifted by a interesting premise and innovative special effects. the acting isn't too bad but rather unimaginative and the script is flat. Other than that, this film is almost perfect. After all, Brian Yuzna produced it. You know it's going to be a winner!!!!!!! 7/10.

Unrelated sequel about an evil toymaker (Mickey Rooney) and his son who create toys that kill parents during the Christmas season. Awful premise made worse by serious straight foward script and ham fisted performances. The director tries to inject some life into it, but fails. Rooney hits absolute rock bottom with this film. Rated R; Graphic Violence, Sexual Situations, and Profanity.

A evil toymaker and his son create Christmas presents that kill people. Bearing no connection to the first 4, except in title, and almost just as bad. The premise is laughable and Mickey Rooney has never hit so low. Might be of some interest to gore fans though. Sexually explicit for a horror film to. 3 out of 10. Lets prey there is no more entry's in this series.

Another in-name-only sequel, this time with a "Pinocchio" theme about a toy maker (Mickey Rooney) and his son creating toys that kill people. Interesting premise marred by amateurish performances. Technically well-made, though. My evaluation: ** out of ****.
