In The Terror of Hallows Eve, a teenager called Tim - who is a budding special effects artist - is beaten up by some bad guys in his neighbourhood. In his frustration and thanks to a magic pumpkin, he summons a devious imp called "The Trickster" who is like a genie/jester and persuades Tim to play "the real" trick or treat on his assailants ...

This is the plot in a nutshell and it's easy to see where it goes from there. It bears similarities to 80's classics such as Trick or Treat, House and Waxwork, though different enough from any of those.

It's a solid movie but I felt it went a bit awry towards the end, with scenes feeling somewhat irrelevant. What I enjoyed most is it's a kind of movie that's been missing from the horror genre for a while. It's a more intimate version of Wishmaster but, if compared directly to it, fares well in the area of character and script which are both much more interesting but when the FX kick off, doesn't quite have the impact it should. The special effects were cool, traditional non-cg effects but at times didn't gel so well with the plot and felt a bit like they were there just for their own sake. I liked The Trickster but he too could arguably have been utilised better in the second half.

It's well acted and visually really good but you might find yourself a tad disconnected towards the end, which is a shame because it starts out really well.

Good but not excellent.

After a decent start just like an early 80s horror movie, the usual geek getting bullied etc then half way through it turned into the most low budget bunch of crap I've seen in a long time, such a shame after a promising start. I give the start 8/10, the last half 0/10 making it 4/10 and that's on a good day.

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.

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.

The story has potential - sadly it wasn't met in this film. When I first watched it I could not believe it was made in 2017. It may have been a B film in the 1980's but it doesn't even cut it as a C film today.

Quite honestly, this was one of the better movies I've seen in the more horror-lite fantasy genre. Probably a hair beyond what I would call a "family movie," but teenagers would be ok, and it's got just enough edge to keep them satisfied.

In any case, my comments are more about content than anything. Had there been more gore, this would have been an 8-9 for me. Very decent all around flick.

As with with most horror/fantasy movies, don't go looking for the holes or you will find them. Just sit back, take what you're given, and enjoy.

Parental content:

NUDITY/SEX: only slight to moderate. Not much in the way of anything, but there are multiple connotative remarks and lead-ins.

PROFANITY: yeh...a handful of examples. Not overly gratuitous in any way, but there are some places where f-bombs are dropped.

INTENSE SCENES: moderate at best. The theme of the movie is "scaring bullies to death," so there are a couple of jump-scares, but nothing that should give most adults a heart attack. Well done scenes, to say the least.

VIOLENCE/GORE: quite frankly, I didn't think there would be anything along these lines, but there are a handful of scenes that yield blood and minor gore. I would classify this as "moderate," but definitely not severe, even with the most intense of scenes.

A fun, well made flick that should be enjoyable for all ages of fans, though, likely not appropriate for children under 13-15ish age. Good script, decent acting, moderately good special fx...it's nowhere near perfect, but it doesn't need to be in order to succeed at being entertaining. And that it is!

Love this movie. Total nostalgic bringing horror fans back to the 80's genre aka Nightmare Freddy/ Fri 13th Jason & Hellraiser plus countless more past movies.

A troubled teen into creative horror gore gets physically beat up by school bullies & then gets given the supernatural opportunity for revenge via an old Skool Halloween demon, The Trickster. It soon goes all proceeds out of control & descends into uncontrollable & violent chaos, even for those he cares about

Totally give it a watch advice to the 80's nerds such as me

Literally nothing happens in the first 40 minutes, just a typical bullying backstory. The effects are good but the acting is absolutely terrible. A complete ripoff of Brainscan(they even steal the name of the bad guy...the Trickster). Brainscan is a cult classic, this movie is a poorly acted snooze fest.

This movie has the feel of the 80's horror movie's. Just set back and let the movie entertain you! It seems to have at least 5 different horror movie's combined into this one, great show!

Each horror character just bring things to another level. From the pumpkin to the Trickster.....what is lurking around the corner?!!

How Tim was taken over by the "mean" Trickster to really do what he wished...makes you think if you, yourself ever thought about doing things to people that have treated you wrong, would you go to this extreme...??!

This movie delivers in everyway possible. Great cast and the story line is easy to follow and get into. Just really makes you want more. More of the Trickster!

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

Technically wonderful, but with too many fanboy call-outs and a clunky story - The Terror of Hallow's Eve is worth a look, but I've got plenty of reservations. Basically, I'm telling you to watch with caution.

However, it is not a grade B one either. A bit corny but overall a fun lil movie. Best viewed with a partner some popcorn and a blanket.

Smash the pumpkins put out the lame! The special effects were lame. The evil creature is an evil rumpelstiltskin copy. The film could have been better but lazy writing and its just another bad movie.

Such poor script and predictable storyline. Waste of time having Eric Robert's in the film for a 2 minute segment. Waste of Doug Jones talent as a performance actor. No substance no scares no gore! Dreadful. Poor effects. The ending!!! Well enough said let's bring some more cliches to the present day sequence mental home. Poor film very poor.

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

The best part of the movie is very start and the end of the movie. I really liked the retro feel it has. But other than that there is tons of awkward filler. For the most part it is poorly acted. The plot is vague and seems very fake. It throws the bullied plot in very weakly. When it uses so much time to develop characters and back story it might come as a shock that it still left me indifferent.

The last ten minutes of this was total nonsense. It was decent up to that point but the ending was stupid.

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.

So I just decided to watch this because it was ondemand for free. I knew it would be cheesy just looking at the cover, but itnwad actually better than I thought. Wasn't big on the ending because too many horror movies are going that route these days. There wasnt really over the top gore which is a breath of fresh air. It had kind of a cheesy 80s horror vibe to it. Other than the ending I'd say it's worth a watch.

Good movie on halloween to see nice story line and nice creative pumpkin size large halloween on hallows day.
