Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

i must have seen a different film!!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I put this on expecting a low budget laugh. I actually said to my husband "I fancy something not too serious". Well I laughed a little and although its not 'too serious' its certainly not light-hearted.It starts like a typical horror film. Cue an annoying young boy and some shocking acting from the fist video clip. You find yourself sucked in but not sure why. The second video clip (which generally has been received badly) is entertaining but when the third video clip starts..sh*t gets real.Its terrifying. The clown is horrific. The final ending is unexpected.This film left me scared to walk around the house for the rest of the night. It left me feeling incredibly uneasy. But your left wanting more.It has its flaws and has lots of frustrating victim moments where your screaming at the screen for them to do the sensible thing.All Hallows Eve is a must see for fans of horror. Just go for clown if anything.

I'm not really sure what to say about this film. I feel I was misled a little bit by the trailer. There are some good elements, sadly they don't really start until fifty odd minutes, and being that the film is only eighty odd minutes do the maths. Some of the sequences and music used made me check IMDb 3 times to make sure this wasn't made in 1986, it felt oddly dated at times. The Clown was really well designed, very sinister, I can understand why people hate them, it's the mix of funny, sad, and hidden nasty. Some pretty shocking special effects, definitely made on the cheap, but for some bizarre reason, don't ask me why it's rather watchable. 5/10

For every good anthology horror film, there's about ten really bad ones.And with the recent release of 'All Hallows Eve 2,' which I'll be reviewing at a later date - I thought I'd go back a few years and watch the first of the series. 'All Hallows Eve' gives us three short stories, plus a finale thrown in for good measure. The trouble with taking the three story route, is you don't have enough material to make up for the weak tales. The sequel corrects the mistake of it's predecessor by extending the number of short stories.The first short is without a doubt the worst. It's a tale I like to call - 'Underground Clownapping Satanist.' Story starts with a woman waiting for her train to arrive, and ends up in an underground tunnel, with people wearing really bad make up. It's some of the most senseless random rubbish you're going to find in any anthology flick.The second short is slightly more tolerable. It's what I call - ''Slumber Party Alien Predator Abduction.'' Yes, I realize 'VHS 2' already beat me to it, but that didn't stop Damien Leone from ripping off the story. Female home all alone, has to defend herself against Aliens that watched 'Predator' one too many times.The third short is the best, and should have been extended for the entire 90 minutes, saving us from the previous disasters. It's what I call - 'Thanks for The Limbs, Lady.' 'Art The Clown' takes over, and delivers something along the lines of 'Thanks For the Ride, Lady,' if any of you remember that dandy from 'Creepshow 2.' A far less enjoyable version, of course, but still not as bad as the previous stories.Random Ramblings of a Madman: The final shot of the film is somewhat enjoyable, as we don't really see that type of outcome in many films, but the stories here are simply dull. Let's see if ''All Hallows Eve 2' improves on it's predecessor.

This is an original twist on the "Halloween" theme although no one could accuse the film makers of trespassing on the franchise. A babysitter is left to mind a feisty brother and sister. While out trick or treating, someone has slipped a video into the boy's bag; this turns out to be a rather unusual video nasty. Naturally the two are intent on playing it, but the babysitter has other ideas although she does let them watch part of it before deciding it it unsuitable and packing them off to bed. Just as naturally she decides to watch the rest of the film, the villain of which is a killer clown who just might be more frightening than John Gacy. On screen the clown is wreaking havoc on the usual damsels and any man who gets in his way. He appears too to have supernatural powers as one of his targets manages to kill him, but he bounces right back following her in a car.The babysitter is more than a little unnerved, especially as towards the end the clown emerges from the TV set with bad intentions. The obvious question is how much of this is in her head? Thankfully this film is rather on the short side, but don't watch it if you are of a sensitive disposition.
