Hallows' Eve (2013) Reviews

• A student film at best

  dillon-morganr2013-10-27

  It plays like one of those movies that would be featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000...the scenes are laughable and filled with stereotypes. The acting is somewhat decent but again reeks of student film project from the high school-type writing of the script to the film quality. The sexual fantasy scene was thrown in there to keep your attention, otherwise most would have stopped watching. From one gory scene to the next, people are picked off by this uninteresting "killer" that lacks any sort of suspense...if you want the gore and entertainment you would be better off watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre or some other gore fest.

• Most AWFUL movie of the year.../

  First off, how in the world did this get "5.0" points? Must be from the lame actors. Secondly, this movie was really really bad. I watched this because I believe Danielle Harris still has it in her to become a great horror actress and seeing this movie coming out, I wanted to watch it. I did not want to watch the trailer for the fact that it can ruin movies for me. In that instance, I have made a very bad error. This movie, was so awful, the acting was similar to 3rd graders, that I had a HARD time watching it past the first 15 minutes. From the beginning, you can tell how this movie would go and I found myself skipping most scenes. Not only is it predictable, the acting is horrendous, the "killings" are an ABSOLUTE JOKE, I was laughing at most of them, as you can definitely see the dummies that were covered in blood in what was to be a "body". The end scene of the movie, the lady dies a painful, almost laughable death. That part humored me because it was so lame. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE for your sanity and for the precious time you have on this earth, do not watch this unless you are either high or very drunk. AVOID!! For the Phantom Stranger: THIS MOVIE IS SO BAD! THERE IS NOTHING GOOD THAT CAN COME FROM THIS HORRID MOVIE. You are most likely the actor or the producer trying to brainwash most people out of their money. All I have to say is....LET them be the judge on HOW HORRID this laughable, brain dead movie really is. I watch ALL types of horror, and there are BAD ones, there are GOOD BAD ones, and there are GREAT BAD ones. This one is so HORRID, I felt my IQ drop... Folks, I will let you be the judge of it, and Phantom stranger? start making better movies.

• Strictly amateur hour

  The story is badly done. The acting is community playhouse caliber. The only reason I watched this was for Danielle Harris. I'm sure the filmmaker knows her value, but she's really only one of an ensemble cast. It would seem more reasonable to have her as the big star of the movie. I think the story is the killer seeking revenge for a girl who was bullied to death years earlier. I say I think because the characters are poorly defined. I didn't care about any of them. The actors read their lines like amateurs, and the characters are all douchy idiots. The only reason I like the kills is to shut them up. The bloody effects are also pretty amateurish. Some of it is laughable. I guess everybody has to start somewhere. This Sean McGarry is starting at the bottom here. There isn't much interesting to grasp onto. Killing people in one of those Halloween scare-arama has some promise. It just needs somebody better to figure out how to do it right.

• No redeeming qualities

  If there is any credit to be given, then it is to whomever chose to use nice camera and not HD phone cam to film this :) Honestly, that's just about only way I can think of at this time that this movie could have been worse. Kids at start can be excused for being bad actors. I cant make such excuse for rest of the cast. Acting is wooden throughout entire film.Casting is bad as every actor is just too plain and unmemorable. What should be young adults are bit too old looking for their roles, and look more like crowd of couch potatoes, in bad shape, slightly overweight. In other words what you would expect bunch of people in early 30's to perhaps look like, if they chose not to take care of themselves, or had kids and did not lose baby weight. Not people in early 20's that I assume they are supposed to be. Script is terrible. Its what bunch of drunk frat boys might have come up with, while intoxicated. I watched this movie with bunch of people and nobody laughed at any point in the movie. Sometimes I enjoy a bad movie. You know, B movie that is meant to be bad and that is its appeal. This is not one of those movies. Its just boring and predictable in unfun way, where everything takes too long to happen. That's about it. I would not suggest this movie to anybody, for any reason.

• A pretty much standard teen slaughter movie.

  Someone is killing off local teens at a Halloween fun house. You've probably seen it all before. The movie is OK at most. I've seen worse, but I've also seen a lot better. Acting isn't to bad but there is no real story, and even though the murders are entertaining special effects could have been much much better. The killer could have been a little faster because some of the characters were really annoying. As one of my friends used to say when we were kids: "Well... at least it was a horror movie."
