There's more to this movie than meets the eye, it's a low budget affair - sure - but it's well shot, excellently scored, has a good tight script and it's heart is definitely in the right place!
'Hallows Eve' or 'Attack of the Thug-Trashing Sack Heads' is a serviceable low budget, high-polish British horror/thriller gloomily set on the crime beleaguered Hallows Estate. This deprived, volatile suburb is being threateningly daubed with some especially evil-looking graffiti, grimly forewarning the locals of 'Haddonfield' of some terrible pending event on Halloween Night. While the acting performances are variable, they are,frankly, a little 'generic', but the energised Sarah Akokhia certainly puts in a feisty show as the enjoyably boisterous 'Cassie', and the script, is, shall we say, perfunctorily adequate, it made for a passable terror-tinged time-waster, and Director Brad Watson's sinister synth score, is, for me, the film's true glistering highlight. And to the film-makers enormous credit, the smart camera work is very accomplished, the more eloquent shots proving to be remarkably effective, having some deliciously moody lighting flourishes, but, sadly, 'Hallows Eve' ultimately lacked the knock-out punch, the Grange Hill theatrics, dearth of risk taking, and the bizarrely tame kills overall make 'Hallows Eve' a trifle anaemic, and I personally would have prescribed a grisly infusion of greatly revivifying gore, all that being said, it looks pretty spiffy, and non-gorehounds might still get a kick out of it, worth watching the next time it comes on the ol' telly box.
I've being working in the film industry for several years and this film doesn't look bad at all, especially considering the budget they claim to have spent.
When it comes to horror movies, I think the two most crucial elements are the cinematography, the soundtrack. Actually, sometimes I prefer there to be no music at all but in this case it created a good 80's mood and the main theme got stuck in my head for a few days.
The storyline is pretty decent. It's not genuinely creepy on it's own but together with the great cinematography and sound design it does a decent enough job to keep your interest and sell what your seeing unfold on screen. And it's safe to say that this is a very different take on your typical low-budget Halloween/horror movie.
I'm not a really big fan of that British accent but the acting was more than decent in my opinion. I wouldn't be surprised to see some of those guys on mainstream productions one day.

Good idea and story line, but the acting is laughable and really let the movie down.
Genuinely loved this... Solid premise and a fine movie that left me chilled. Fantastic closing shot!
