Admirable film.

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The first must-see film of the year.

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.

First off, how in the world did this get "5.0" points? Must be from the lame actors. Secondly, this movie was really really bad.I watched this because I believe Danielle Harris still has it in her to become a great horror actress and seeing this movie coming out, I wanted to watch it. I did not want to watch the trailer for the fact that it can ruin movies for me. In that instance, I have made a very bad error. This movie, was so awful, the acting was similar to 3rd graders, that I had a HARD time watching it past the first 15 minutes.From the beginning, you can tell how this movie would go and I found myself skipping most scenes. Not only is it predictable, the acting is horrendous, the "killings" are an ABSOLUTE JOKE, I was laughing at most of them, as you can definitely see the dummies that were covered in blood in what was to be a "body".The end scene of the movie, the lady dies a painful, almost laughable death. That part humored me because it was so lame.PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE for your sanity and for the precious time you have on this earth, do not watch this unless you are either high or very drunk. AVOID!!For the Phantom Stranger: THIS MOVIE IS SO BAD! THERE IS NOTHING GOOD THAT CAN COME FROM THIS HORRID MOVIE. You are most likely the actor or the producer trying to brainwash most people out of their money. All I have to say is....LET them be the judge on HOW HORRID this laughable, brain dead movie really is. I watch ALL types of horror, and there are BAD ones, there are GOOD BAD ones, and there are GREAT BAD ones. This one is so HORRID, I felt my IQ drop... Folks, I will let you be the judge of it, and Phantom stranger? start making better movies.
