Disclaimer: Contains spoilers! Plot Summary: Art the clown comes back to life to continue his Halloween killing spree, but finds himself up against a new foe. Review: Essentially, this sequel is a massive upgrade from the first "Terrifier." You have more gore, better characters, an actual mythos forming, as well as a general improvement to production value. Probably the biggest fix is providing purpose to the aimlessness of this series. The Art character has been around for going on 15 years now with shorts that were then put into the "All Hallows' Eve" movie. Part 2 is finally taking him be ..read more

Disclaimer: Contains spoilers! Plot Summary: A writer looks for inspiration while staying in a, supposedly, haunted house. Review: A few things to know upfront: first, "They Live Inside Us" is an expanded version of a segment from a different movie called "The Witching Season." I honestly can't remember if I saw that, but it looks like shit. Second, this is yet another example of using Halloween for incidental, advertising purposes. Realistically, Halloween could have been swapped with National Pizza Day and little would have changed. Third, how the hell am I watching another movie starring ..read more

Disclaimer: Contains spoilers! Plot Summary: The third entry in this, increasingly, terrible horror anthology series. Review: Part 2 was noticeably an improvement over the first entry, yet, here we are, taking a massive step back with part 3. You know, how in the hell does garbage like this have 3 movies already, and we can't get a "Trick 'r Treat 2" after all these years?! That should be a crime. Anyway, expect more of the same garbage-tier storytelling with this entry. I mean, the creators clearly aren't listening to my feedback...sooo...who is even watching this trash besides me? Fake Tra ..read more

Disclaimer: Contains spoilers!  Plot Summary: A group of friends decide to spend their Halloween locked inside the titular, holiday store as zany antics ensue. Review: Well...this movie is about as good as you'd expect for a glorified product placement to be. So there's that, right? Realistically, "Spirit Halloween" is a cornball kids movie with G-rated scares and themes. This film feels like a lame attempt at an episode of "Goosebumps" yet lacks the twists or characterizations of that series. With that said, I do think this movie can present adequate family viewing for most ages of kids ..read more

Disclaimer: Contains spoilers! Plot Summary: A girl and her friends must figure out how to stop an evil spirit unleashed each Halloween. Review: I think audience's should be aware of what they're getting into with this one. Other than a single profanity and a non-graphic death, this is essentially a PG-rated, family horror movie. More so, "Curse of Crom" feels like a long episode of "Are You Afraid of the Dark" or "Goosebumps;" knowing this aspect should keep viewer's expectations in check. If you're hankering for that "Halloween" alternative this year then this is definitely not it, however ..read more

Disclaimer: Contains spoilers! Plot Summary: A man begins to see patterns each day, at the same time, that somehow connect to the woman he has fallen in love with and a tragic event. Review: Strangely enough, this film is both better than you'd imagine and lacking the substance to make it worthwhile. It's hard to properly articulate what is the problem since the general premise is intriguing, the actors are good, and the production is of reasonable quality. "2:22" wants to tell the tale of a cosmic alignment of fate, love, and loss, yet, is shallow somehow, failing to pull the ideas together ..read more

Disclaimer: Contains spoilers! Plot Summary: A radio host presents a series of tales on Halloween night. Review: This is like the dollar store version of "Trick 'r Treat," but it's not as bad as some make it out to be. Now, don't get me wrong, this is more low-budget nonsense, yet, there is a level of charm going on and the filmmakers did at least try to make the stories feel interconnected. With that in mind, one of the biggest problems is obviously the quality of these tales. Some are over before you even know they've begun while others drag on far longer than needed. A lack of focus or vi ..read more

Disclaimer: Contains spoilers! Plot Summary: Shenanigans ensue after a family inadvertently awakens an evil spirit on Halloween. Review: The plot isn't exactly original, what with decorations coming to life, however, this is that right level of Halloween hi-jinks presentable for the whole family; things are scary but not too scary. The tone and comedy elements are what I'd expect for modern audiences despite being on the cornball side, and, of course, Netflix making the dad low-key racist. The film would have benefited from some extra kick--an x-factor of some sort--to put this movie on par ..read more

Disclaimer: Contains spoilers! Plot Summary: A sequel continuing the Halloween-centric anthology series. Review: Well, part 1 was painful to sit through, but would you believe part 2 is significantly better? Now, don't get me wrong, this is still low-budget schlock, however, the creators are having more fun with the material. I don't think we get into anything that could be considered good, yet, I think entertainment can be found in this entry. Fake Trailers: Realistically, these were the best part of the whole film for me. The first trailer in particular was an admirable nod to '70s/early ..read more

Disclaimer: Contains spoilers! Plot Summary: A series of low-budget tales related to Halloween. Review: I've covered so many of these low-budget anthologies over the years that I'm starting to wonder why anyone keeps making them. While these particular stories were admittedly on the original side, they're still rough around the edges and, ultimately, lack any kind of substance. My main gripe is that these particular segments drag on far too long to pad out the run time. Also, the acting can be utterly painful at times. So let's check this shit out. Wraparound: This hardly qualifies as a wrap ..read more
