3.0 out of 5 stars I beg to differ with everyone else, August 17, 2008

This review is from: All Hallows' Eve (DVD)

I've read all of the rave reviews as well as the nasty ones regarding this independent horror flick, but my comments attempt to find a middle ground. All Hallow's Eve is indeed made on a shoestring budget, but accomplishes a lot with what it has. The action is initially set at an apartment where a group of costumed young friends have gathered on Halloween for a party. They proceed to tell spooky stories, which take place as three small movies within the movie and cast members playing double parts. The stories are basically enactments of urban legends related to an escaped convict, a jealous lover and a local vampiress. All of the stories are told by females in the group, and in each, the boyfriend/husband is a lunkhead. Actual rivalries among the young women are inserted in the stories as well, taking the form of frequently naked seductresses and their aggressive avengers.

Some aspects of the film are surprisingly effective: the energetic cast, the moody theme music, and the stories themselves, which are often suspenseful. However, other aspects are pretty lame, particularly in the middle story, where the acting, staging and special effects (is that chocolate syrup they're trying to pass off as blood?) don't rise to the occasion.

Those weighing whether to check this film out might go the unbox route, as I did; you get to watch the movie without being saddled with a disk you don't want.

This review is from: All Hallows' Eve (DVD)

I'm not a fan of the genre, but I enjoyed watching the flick. The concept was good and there were some moments that were truly well-done -- the vampire's erotic bed scene was mesmerizing. Overall, however, the film's indie origins were too evident. Some of the visual segues were too abrupt and distracting. I kept wondering: "How did we get from there to here?" "How did it change from night to day in minutes?" etc. Also some of the background details need to be watched carefully. Indie films are made on a hairline budget, but it doesn't cost anything or take any time to remove distracting items from the background, the room, etc., or to change the camer angle to avoid getting them in the frame. Example: The real estate box on the door of the vampire's house. Still, it was fun to watch as long as it wasn't taken too seriously. The people making it were obviously having fun. So should the viewer.

5.0 out of 5 stars A TERRIFIC Film, November 3, 2010

This review is from: All Hallows' Eve (Amazon Instant Video)

Wow! This movie was entertaining from start to finish. The first story was perhaps the stongest from a narrative point of view. It was also the most suspenseful. I must say, I did not see that ending coming. The second story was the most emotional. Very intense and it had plenty of dark humor. My favorite was the last story. This was the most fun and I am partial to vampires. Great music, great cinematography and effects and the actors were great all around. I can't wait to watch it again.
