2013 Horror Fest: Hallows Eve: 0 Out Of 100 Stars

It takes a lot of money and effort to make a movie, even one as cheap as Hallows Eve. The whole time I was watching it I couldn't help thinking, why the fuck bother? Danielle Harris is given top billing but she's barely in it as this is obviously one of those deals where they gave a semi big name some money, had her do a few scenes and tried to sell their shitty movie based on that.

The idea isn't bad, a bunch of kids caused an accident to a little girl years ago when they were bullying her, and now they're getting their comeuppance. The script however, if one exists, is a jumble of incoherency and awful fucking writing.

So it's 10 year later, and the kids from the opening now have kids of their own who are supposed to be in their teens. Think about that for a moment. Everyone involved in writing and producing this movie should be put in jail.

The lead, a guy who has to walk around with a hat on most of the movie because his hairline clearly gives away that his age is probably north of 30, is a stoner and a wigger and the script is all "yo yo, I'm a white teen and I like to smoke pot and have sex, yeahhhh boy, hahahahahaha". There's another guy who wears a hoodie the whole movie because of the same issue. Whoever wrote this must find douche the funniest word in the English language because it gets used about 100 times. Everyone's a douche or a dumb douche or douchey douche bag. Except for a blonde girl, most of the women in the movie look exactly the same, and with the movie being very dark it was hard to tell who was who, not that it fucking matters at all.

The kills, gore, and direction are all terrrrible. The acting is atrocious on a whole other level but the dialog they have to deliver is just as bad so, ya know, 6 of one, half dozen of the other. There's a good deal of nudity but it's in the middle of such pathetic silliness that it's not like it's arousing in the slightest.

A student film disguised as a real movie, Hallows Eve is a bleeding aids sore on the body of cinema.
