Lack of good storyline.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I know for a fact that if this movie wasn't named Hallows Eve I would've never even gave it a second glance.I LOVE Halloween & will really watch just about any movie based around the holiday.I wouldn't say Hallows Eve is a great movie but it was OK.It's worth watching once but ONLY once.After watching it, I don't think it's a movie you'll watch ever again.For the budget it was made on, I think they did a pretty good job.The special effects were just gross.If you're into that sort of thing then you might like this movie.The thing that stood out the most for me in Hallows Eve was Stephen Medvidick.He was GREAT as the (I can't use the words I really want to here) stoner Rudy.His character was the type of guy you wonder why you're friends with him in the 1st place.I want to check out other movies he's been in now..Hallows Eve was a pretty decent movie but like I said before, I don't think it's a movie you'll watch more than once

Director Sean McGarry, working from a script by screen writer Raymond Manrak, has managed to make a riveting horror film with true style. McGarry uses his camera like a scalpel as he sculpts his vision into one of the most suspenseful motion pictures of the last half-decade. With a uniformly excellent cast and terrific dialog, the characters come across as very real and are beautifully realized. Once again, Danielle Harris gives a stunning performance and set the screen ablaze with her talent. She is a truly gifted actress and is simply superb in this film. One element of the motion picture that sets it apart is McGarry's ability to create atmosphere and an environment of true dread and fear. Some of the imagery is intensely haunting and will leave a lasting impression in any audience. With incredible suspense, sensitively realized characters, and a razor sharp screenplay, no one who sees this overwhelming film will forget the unrelenting horror that is Hallows' Eve.

A handful of mean teenagers pull a nasty Halloween prank on a girl with a stutter that results in the poor lass being facially and emotionally scarred for life. Ten years later the folks responsible for this terrible incident receive a brutal comeuppance on Hallows' Eve. While director Sean McGarry delivers oodles of graphic gore and a satisfying smidgen of tasty gratuitous female nudity (gorgeous brunette Katie Griffith as the abrasive Susan bares her exquisitely bountiful breasts while masturbating in a bathtub and some mystery babe pops up for a totally ridiculous and unnecessary dream scene), McGarry alas crucially fails to generate much in the way of tension or spooky atmosphere. Worse yet, Raymond Mamrak's sloppy script suffers from an appalling lack of focus and cohesion: It's not only impossible to figure out who's supposed to be who amongst the guilty, but also the wonky timeline likewise is totally off (kids who were in their teens in the past look like they're pushing thirty in the present!). Moreover, the tin-eared profanity-ridden dialogue drops the f-bomb way too much and the irritating and obnoxious villains of the piece don't get bumped off fast enough. On the plus side, several cast members manage to do commendable work: Veteran scream queens Danielle Harris as the sweet Nicole Bates and Tiffany Shepis as the feisty Sarah contribute typically solid pro turns, Courtney Baxter makes a favorable impression as the fragile and vulnerable Eve Bates, and Ashley C. Williams of "The Human Centipede" bitches it up well as the snarky Ashley. In addition, the Halloween hayride setting gets put to pretty good use. Joseph Hennigan's passable cinematography unfortunately uses annoying fades at the end of a handful of scenes, but overall does the trick. However, Dan Dixon's redundant shivery score proves to be sheer torture on the ears. A disappointing slice'n'dicer.

If there is any credit to be given, then it is to whomever chose to use nice camera and not HD phone cam to film this :) Honestly, that's just about only way I can think of at this time that this movie could have been worse.Kids at start can be excused for being bad actors. I cant make such excuse for rest of the cast. Acting is wooden throughout entire film.Casting is bad as every actor is just too plain and unmemorable. What should be young adults are bit too old looking for their roles, and look more like crowd of couch potatoes, in bad shape, slightly overweight. In other words what you would expect bunch of people in early 30's to perhaps look like, if they chose not to take care of themselves, or had kids and did not lose baby weight. Not people in early 20's that I assume they are supposed to be.Script is terrible. Its what bunch of drunk frat boys might have come up with, while intoxicated. I watched this movie with bunch of people and nobody laughed at any point in the movie.Sometimes I enjoy a bad movie. You know, B movie that is meant to be bad and that is its appeal. This is not one of those movies. Its just boring and predictable in unfun way, where everything takes too long to happen.That's about it. I would not suggest this movie to anybody, for any reason.
