The Terror of Hallow's Eve

You may not identify with the lead character, but he is being as real and as well painted as he can. And that has something to do, that the boy is based on the directors childhood. Some look for comedy in their search for their own truth. He went on and made practical effects, dolls and other stuff to pass time (and scare people too as a byproduct).

The story itself is a bit predictable, but you can feel the love for the genre, the love for filmmaking, in every pore of this movie. So while this isn't without its flaws, it has enough tension and especially effects to hold the viewers attention. If that sounds like something you can also get excited about, you probably will have a good time watching this. I know it had an overall good reaction at Frightfest where it played

I won't spoil anything, but this movie is worth more than 5 stars out of 10 for serious. It's fun, got good monsters, and good story. The cast is great also. I see no problems here with it, everyone should have a copy on their shelves for Halloween.

Basically, it's like Rodriguez or Tarantino met Tim Burton and made a, not so scary Halloween movie. It's unique...I'll give it that.

Has an 80's type approach,a bit of cornish style & overall decent story. Added it on a list of movies,to watch again during October.

I came into thinking this would be bad and I was surprised how fun this movie is. Reminds me of Goosebumps or Are you Afraid of the Dark but for an older audience. Solid movie
