Excellent but underrated film

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

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

The story is badly done. The acting is community playhouse caliber. The only reason I watched this was for Danielle Harris. I'm sure the filmmaker knows her value, but she's really only one of an ensemble cast. It would seem more reasonable to have her as the big star of the movie.I think the story is the killer seeking revenge for a girl who was bullied to death years earlier. I say I think because the characters are poorly defined. I didn't care about any of them. The actors read their lines like amateurs, and the characters are all douchy idiots. The only reason I like the kills is to shut them up. The bloody effects are also pretty amateurish. Some of it is laughable.I guess everybody has to start somewhere. This Sean McGarry is starting at the bottom here. There isn't much interesting to grasp onto. Killing people in one of those Halloween scare-arama has some promise. It just needs somebody better to figure out how to do it right.

Hallow's Eve is a pretty cool late night horror flick. I really enjoyed the Halloween haunted fun house theme. Im a huge Danielle Harris and Tiffany Shepis fan, so i was excited to check this out, even though i saw this movie was distributed by Barnholtz entertainment. The plot was pretty easy to follow, a group of friends get invited to a small towns annual Halloween haunted country theme park. These friends years before were involved in a cruel prank that leaves a young girl severely injured and hal of her face disfigured. Now as a teen, she helps her family operate the haunted house attractions. As the night goes on, the responsible teens begin to be killed off. This revenge slasher is one of those where the killer is unmasked in the end. I found it pretty cool that people touring the attractions was convinced some the bodies were fake, when they were actually being killed. Not much of a twist to the killers identity though. And the kills were pretty graphic. Good set design also. This movie was fun, its worth at least a watch.

To begin with, there are only two other reviews for this film at the time of this writing and both give it a 1 rating. As in the worst possible score any movie can be rated on IMDb. The people giving this a one rating must not have seen very many low budget movies. I would suggest for them to take a look at IMDb's Bottom 100. There may be other ways to get there, but I just scroll to the bottom of IMDb's homepage and click on Top Movies link. From there you will see a link on the left side of your screen that says IMDb Bottom 100. Now just pick out a few of those titles that sound interesting to you, find yourself a copy somewhere (just don't pay too much for them, or better yet, see if a friend has any of them so you don't have to pay at all), try to watch them until the end and then reassess this film properly. I'll even give you a few examples of some films to watch for this assignment: BIRDEMIC: SHOCK AND TERROR (2010), DISASTER MOVIE (2008), ZOMBIE NATION (2004), and HOUSE OF THE DEAD (2003). You will see that there are movies much worse than what you thought this one was. You just need some perspective.Now onto the film at hand. For a reported budget of $300k, I feel this movie did very well. I may be somewhat biased because of two names in this film. Danielle Harris and the always beautiful Tiffany Shepis (who I wish would have had much more screen time). Both did very well in their limited parts, as expected. It's not everyday that one gets to see two of their favorite horror scream queens on the same screen. The rest of the cast was spotty, but acceptable. Courtney Baxter was looking very lovely too, even with her disfigured face. Matthew Nadu (Joe) and Stephen Medvidick (Rudy) did good as well. I wasn't sure about the character of Rudy to begin with, but he grew on me over the course of the film and did really well helping to carry this movie along. Some of the sets were a little cheap (Aberzombie & Twitch), but overall the haunted farm-like setting was decent, nothing too elaborate but good for the limited budget. I enjoyed this film and in the end it wasn't just because of the limited presence of Danielle Harris and Tiffany Shepis. The story was a bit weak but passable, as were the kills. Better than represented here on IMDb thus far. A solid 6 in my book for what the filmmakers were able to achieve with a very limited budget.
