Halloween Party

This movie sort of rules. It's not a great movie by any stretch, but it does the best it can with what it has available (read: basically nothing) and I admire its ability to go for it.

A Halloween-themed computer virus spreads across a college campus via an internet meme wherein people are asked about their worst fears. Within 24 hours, those same people wind up dead, seemingly killed by whatever scared them the most. But who's really doing the killing, and why?

This movie channels a tiny sliver of old school Sam Raimi vibes. Not with his energy or slapstick, but in the tendency for his movies to embrace the inherent goofiness of their premise. This is a dumb movie, so dumb it can borderline on self-parody. Definitely dumb enough to be considered kind of trashy.

But then you get whiplash because it stops to take itself just seriously enough that you stay hooked. There's a delightfully weird spark this movie taps in to sometimes, and some decently tense moments. Rarely scary, mind you, but tense enough for a bit of mood. It works enough that I felt like I had a good time.

If this movie were a person, you'd tell it "You're a bad movie" and it would grin and reply, "I know, and that's why you love me."

And it'd be right. Dumb, trashy, bad, whatever you want to call it, but I had fun.

I would suggest any1 who hates horror movies to no bother with this movie. Why would u even watch this if that's the case. I'm actually surprised at the reviews I read where a person will, "I'm not a fan of such & such genre", then they go on to say, "but decided to give 'movie x' a try & boy it sucked, blah blah blah". It's like don't waste our times writing a review then cuz u couldn't be any less objective.

But for those of us who do enjoy horror movies, this was def one of the better ones ova the last couple yrs. I'm not saying it's great, but imho it's pretty good. I've seen better so I'm not gonna go out and give it 9 or 10 but def 6-8 for most I would think. It's well put together, the acting was solid considering it's not A-Listers as horror movies rarely are. I'd be surprised if someone enjoys horror movies & didn't like this. I kinda don't what you'd be expecting for a movie like this. HellFest & Wolves are prob my 2 fav horror movies in the past couple yrs & trick & haunt are up there as well. This IMO isn't as good as those, but still pretty good by its own merit. If you enjoy those horror movies that used to be on chiller network & occasionally are on sci-fi channel, then I would think worst case some of you would just be like meh it was ok. And that's worst case while I'd bet most would enjoy it.

The movie is your typical get into a predicament & try & find your way out. Tons of horror movies are plotted out this way & I don't think I'm giving anything away by saying that. I don't scare easy & didnt reallly in this movie, but did get occasionally get a lil creeped out here & there. It's at least worth a once over. If u got other movies, ya can give them a try first but if your looking for something & specifically in this genre. You could 💯 do a lot worst

I started watching this with low expectations: a dvd with a lame non-specific Halloween'ish title and a ditto dull cover, promising a third-rate wannabe horror flick with bad acting, but hopefully good for some laughs. Well, to be honest I was pleasantly surprised. Sure, it's obviously a very low budget thing, it's on all cinematographic accounts small and non-pretentious, the very few special effects are extremely simple. But it still succeeded in entertaining me and keeping me on the edge of my chair for the whole 90 minutes!

This is due to a solid script, a good pace and effective direction and editing, making it in spite of the absence of expensive FX and CGI genuinely scary. Amy Groening and T. Thomason, playing the major characters, are attractive to watch and do a fine job, both acting very natural and easy. And the sober musical score in combination with tension-filled silences is exactly right to create the needed sinister and ominous atmosphere.

In short: in spite of its obvious limitations worthwhile and gladly recommended.

For a modern day horror movie, definitely above average. It had a a couple of characteristics that most lack: A little charm and a couple of likable characters. In most horror movies today you root for the slasher, monster, or evil entity to dispatch all the loathsome and obnoxious "protagonists". The creepy factor was relatively high and the dialogue and acting was better than expected. Overall an entertaining little Halloween flick.

This is a good popcorn film with some scares here and there. The acting was pretty good too which I was surprised. It's definitely a B movie with a cool ending.
