Again featuring Clint Howard and Neith Hunter, but in different roles.Coscr/coprod by B-horror fave Brian Yuzna (SNDN4)this addition to the tired series is about a young boy who is left mute following a traumatic experience. His mother decides to buy him a special toy to see if it will help him recover. Little does the young chappie know, he is about to get a serious dose of schlock therapy.
Her search leads her to a small toy store run by an old man named Joe Petto (Mickey Rooney) and his doltish, physically abused son Pino. But once she gets the toy home it seems to be possessed and have homicidal tendencies (CHILD'S PLAY, anyone?) So who is the fiend behind this madness? Your durn tootin' folks! IT'S RUMPELSTILTSKIN!!
Mildly watchable, with laughable FX. It's quite funny to see Mickey Rooney go gonzo. Especially in the movies final ten minutes. There is also a grisly, amusing scene in which an amorous couple is killed by possessed toys and some OK gore scenes in the movie's latter third. You can't argue that this entry killed the series. This series was dead from the word go.

I would buy it solely for the killer toys. This movie has it's moments, but it is mostly dry and devoid of any actual horror. The twist ending is stupid but SOMEHOW makes sense. I would wait until they got this out on DVD along with the other three or four they're still missing.

Silent Night,Deadly Night is owes more to Child's Play and Demonic Toys than a sequel to SN,DN part 1,2,and 3 but this one is better than part 3 and 4 but Mickey Rooney was wasted for the role as Joe Petto a drunk toymaker who abuses his oddball son Pino at least director Martin Kitrosser could have found someone better and the acting is horrendous and Screaming Mad George's special effects looked cheap but this offers more laughs than scares and the dark sense of humor fits in right.The SN,DN series is mediocre and if only they were made better after part 1 the series would have been decent but the reason this one is better than part 3 and 4 is because you could laugh and make fun of and instead part 3 and 4 are slow-paced and dull.Rent but stick with part 1

First off as many of you may know this has nothing to do with the series like the previous movie. Also the story isn't even revolved around X-MAS like it should be. The whole movie is about a child hating man that makes toys that come to life and kill their owner(reminds me of a rip off of child's play)but it gets worse the death scenes are so dumb they include rollerblades with rockets and attacking army men. SKIP ALL THE SILENT NIGHT'S EXCEPT THE CLASSIC (1984/SILENT NIGHT,DEADLY NIGHT) WHICH IS AN ORIGINAL HORROR CLASSIC THAT INVOLVES A KILLER SANTA ON X-MAS!

Silent Night, Deadly Night was a brilliant masterpiece of holiday horror. Once it hit number two, it went down the proverbial toilet. So you can imagine what unbelievable excrement the fifth one must be. This one is filthy excrement. Graphic violence, horrible (and I do mean horrible) acting and a plot that was doomed from the beginning.
Do not buy this movie. Do not see this movie. It is not worth anybody's time.

When i bought this movie, I had serious doubts... I thought it would be dunb and stupid. Seeing the cover box made me regret it even more and i really didn't want to watch the movie. But i decided that if Mickey Rooney was in it, it couldn't be that bad. Now Im really glad I bought it. The movie was so good, always suspensful, never boring and with more than a few surprises up its sleeve. You'll Love It!

Pity poor Mickey Rooney. He plays a toy maker named Joe Petto (get it?) who lives with a young man named Pino (get it? get it?). It seems Joe likes to give anonymous gifts to children, which, when opened, maims and kills them. It is always nice to see a film series come full circle, resulting in more hatred for children. Here, a little boy walks in on his parents having sex, opens the door and retrieves a mysterious package, gets yelled and cursed at by his father, then watches in horror as his father opens the package and is promptly killed.

We must sit through ninety minutes of lame plot, resulting in a silly resolution that involves killer toys and giant Ken dolls. The suspenseful moments are unintentionally funny, including rocket rollerblades on a kid we get to see struck by a car, and the stereotypical horny babysitter and boyfriend attacked by toy soldiers. Some of the cast from Part 4: Initiation appear in this entry, but not as their old characters...now that might have been interesting.

This is (hopefully) the finale to one lame horror series. Pity poor Mickey Rooney.

This is rated (R) for strong physical violence, gun violence, some sexual violence, gore, profanity, brief female nudity, strong sexual content, and sexual references.

Ohh the joys of the "Silent Night, Deadly Night" series. One of the few horror franchises that never really hit the mainstream but, of course, that didn't stop them from making four (fairly unrelated) sequels. While many horror purists believe that the first one is the only "good" entry in the series, I have always had a bit of a fondness for the joys and the awfulness of the fifth installment: "Silent Night Deadly Night 5: The Toymaker."

A sequel by name only, "The Toymaker" is one of the strangest sequels I've ever seen. 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 (a name that is just too funny to be unintentionally hilarious) 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? The twist at the end needs to be seen to be believed (shades of "Sleepaway Camp"), "The Toymaker" is fun with a capital F. I can't in all honesty say this is a "good" film but I can say that you've never seen anything like it. Besides who DOESN'T want to see a horror movie version of Pinocchio?

Have yourself a bloody merry Christmas and give "Silent Night Deadly Night 5: The Toymaker" a chance. It is 80's horror at its cheesy finest. Yes, yes I know this movie was made in 1991 but I refuse to believe that. The early 90's was a time of horror blandness and this is anything but. I can't say that this movie is for everyone but it doesn't deserve the reputation it has received. Have a few drinks and enjoy!
