Why so much hype?

Thanks for the memories!

Strong and Moving!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This movie was just hard to watch, not because it's scary mind you. It's a blurry mess of a film, I watched it till the end hoping to find some sort of redeeming essence but found nothing of the sort. The movie continuously jumps around towards the end leaving the viewer wondering which of these scenarios actually happen. Also the director needs to give his head a shake because he seems to change his mind a lot throughout the film which in the end makes this movie much worse. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone unless you are in the mood to watch a steaming pile. I really wanted to enjoy this movie since it's Canadian so it saddens me how bad it really was.

This movie is getting a lot of hate and poor scores, and I am failing to see why. What we got was a movie that could have easily been a feature in "Trick r' Treat" or "Tales of Halloween". This is a good thing. The imagery and setting in this film might have been some of the best I have seen. The colors and backgrounds that almost made it look like a painting were just wonderful to look at it, and there were times where it felt almost Rob Zombie like.The designs of the "Hellions" were clearly inspired by Sam from Trick r' Treat and I am 100% okay with that. They were dirty and creepy. Buckethead was my favorite design by far.People are too used too and too spoiled by the jump scare horror movies that are plaguing the industry today, that when they get a movie built around imagery, they are confused.This isn't the kind of movie that is suppose to scare you. This is the kind of creepy atmospheric Halloween movie that you can watch in the fall to really put you in the Halloween spirit. Take what you want when it comes to underlying meaning to the movie, I am not going to touch that. What I saw was a wonderfully crafted Halloween movie, and I am happy with that.I could go on and try to really explain what makes this fun little movie special, but chances are if you have already seen the movie, then what I am trying to convey will fall on deaf ears, but for those who are on the fence about seeing it:See it. But go into it knowing the story is nothing new and the acting is mediocre (not bad though), and you will get some silly scenes that seem a little out of place when compared to the rest of the movie, but the overall tone and feeling are clear. Fans of TrT and Tales of Halloween are sure to love this flick. From the opening scene, this movie is Halloween-tastic!BLOOD FOR BABY.

I don't understand the people who don't get this movie. It is an anti- abortion film. Spoiler alert! The trick or treaters are the demons she faces which are is, herself wanting to end her pregnancy. When they come after her and she fears for her life. She will now do anything to save her baby. Is it a coincidence that the Sheriff's wife lost her baby? Who knows. While, I don't agree with an anti-abortion statement as I am pro- choice this movie would certainly scare a teenager into having a child. In the end, she sees's her child she has chosen to have. It's as simple as that.I appreciate the scary elements of this film and the imagery.

This movie popped up in an email from Netflix as "something you may enjoy". Netflix, you couldn't have been more wrong. To be honest, I'm still not sure what the hell I just watched. I thought it started out decent. It felt like I was watching The Strangers, but with children; home invasion and children, two very creepy things in my opinion. The movie quickly turned into "demons from hell" type movie, which I could get on board, if it weren't for the quick turn it made into that direction. Some people say it's a pro-life propaganda movie, which I could kind of see, but that also may be reaching a little bit. I thought the acting was good in some spots; I thought the music was definitely creepy (Christmas sounding music with a child like tone); and I thought some of the visual effects and costumes were cool.What I didn't like were the lingering effects in scenes that looked choppy (the constant shot of her in the hanging sheets). I thought some of the dialogue was extremely lame. And, because the movie kind of goes by so quick, it's really hard to pin down what is actually happening. I felt like the film maker had a bunch of different good ideas in his head, and instead of picking one and running with it, he crammed everything into one movie. Overall I think the movie could have been so much better. There are definitely good elements there, they just need to be justly presented.
