Halloween Party

It's really not super scary, no. That's not always my interest in a horror film. I want to see acting that's decent, dialogue with some snap, and story that has some nuance. I was impressed with this. Yes, it's funny quite often, but NOT in a campy way. Think Happy Death Day's quieter baby sister. I've watched a lot of horror movies and this one was pretty creative and well done. A couple well-placed jump scares that weren't the cheesy sudden loud music kind but actually were part of the main story of the movie. I'd say watch this with someone who will snicker along with the two leads' snarking at each other. The final scene was great. Forgive the movie its flaw of slightly slow editing and just know you're not going to be super tense in your seat while watching but it's worth it!

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.

Caught this on Amazon Prime and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It was competently directed and edited, and had some witty banter, and enough blood to keep things interesting. Amy Groening does a nice job in this and I would love to see her get more exposure in a wide release film.

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.
