La magia di Halloween

I don't have a clever intro to this review, so I'm just going to cut to the chase. This movie's pace is the equivalent of walking through a room that is filled to the brim with honey. To say that this movie is slow is the equivalent of saying that water is wet. A turtle would say that this movie needs to pick up the pace. My point is, it's boring.

No joke. This movie is slow as heel. This movie isn't worth turning spoilers on, because I'm one hundred percent certain that no cares about this movie (seeing that there are only two reviews for this movie and the both hate it). I've seen the worst of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, Hallmark and Lifetime original movies and something happens in them that can at least gets an ironic laugh out of me. However, even though some things happen in this movie, nothing happens.

I cannot think of a single thing that is even remotely passible about this movie. The acting is so wooden that it literal feels like watching to trees talking to each other. The cinematography is so bland that I hesitate to call it cinematography. The writing is Hocus Pocus without the silliness and the charm. The production design had less effect put into it than an essay written by a high schooler about The Scarlett Letter. The editing has all the excitement of an office cubical. Hell, even the custom design was basically just whatever the filmmakers could find at Party City. The only possible good thing I can think of is that the camera man decided to take the lens cap of the camera, turned the camera on and pointed in in the face of the actors

My advice, skip this one and warn others to stay away from this. Trust me on this one. You, and I mean you! The person reading this at 4 in the morning surrounded by pizza boxes. You could make a make a better movie that this

This is an amazing film. It's way better than Hocus Pocus. I cried at the end. Don't trust the other reviews, this is the best movie ever made. Barnaby was soooooo funny and his acting was beautiful. The main actress is my new crush, such great acting. The supporting actors did really good and are also my new crushes (especially Barnaby, I wish my dog could turn into a middle age man). The cgi was mind blowing, it surpasses Avatar. James Cameron wishes Avatar was as good as this masterpiece. The social commentary is very relevant. I believe every future filmmaker should study this film, it's simply that good. Can't wait for the sequel, but I have one question.... why didn't this win any Oscars? The only explanation is that the Sanderson Sisters from Hocus Pocus casted a spell at the Academy that blinded them from knowing about this majestic, extraordinary, profound film. No matter though, this film will live on despite Disney's attempts to silence it. Reject the Mouse, embrace Barnaby!

Yes, this is a bad children's movie. The plot is pretty simplistic and it's apparent that no one got paid very much for acting in this movie. However Diane Salinger's Delayna Hallow character is so over the top that it appears that she is channeling the combination of a professional wrestler and a drag queen. I'm having a really hard time finishing this film because of Salinger's egregious overacting. She's out Shatnering William Shatner. Her broad gestures seem more suited for vaudeville and if she actually had a mustache, she'd be twirling it between her fingers. I get that she's playing an evil witch but Agnes Moorehead set the gold standard Salinger seems to be going for with her 1960s era Endora, while Salinger just stands around cackling horrifically and gesturing weirdly with long plastic fake fingernails. Not a great movie by any means but Salinger really ruins it.

Greatest movie ever; I've seen it so many times that I've lost count; I miss it so much and want a sequel; it's the ideal film for fans of Halloween and witches, of which I am one. I desperately need a second movie. The movie's ending hinted that a sequel would develop, but none did. I believe we should learn more about the Hallow ancestors, how magic functions without an amulet, and how the new darkness emerges.

I always have a unique Halloween feeling, and watching this movie helps soothe me down. I just wish there were more movies to choose from instead of watching it repeatedly.

Please create another film. I beg of you please.

There is not one new or innovative idea in this entire movie. You have seen it all before .. many many times before... and always done much much better than this production. The production values are achingly low... even for a "Canadian Production". Even by Canadian standards, the cast is exceptionally bland and totally lacking in charisma. About a third of the way into the movie you start glancing at your watch wondering if ANYTHING entertaining is going to happen in this film.

There are many many other similar themed movies.... watch one of THEM. But, do not waste your time on this one.
