Halloween at Aunt Ethel's

I wish I could unseen whatever this was!!!!! Trust me for your own health and safety stay away!!!! Read a book draw color I don't care just don't watch this movie

Vulgar, lowbrow and dumb. This movie is genre comedy but it's not funny at all. I turned off the movie after 35 minutes because this junk was too stupid for me.

First of all, I decided to watch this because it had a 7.3 rating. The reason is because there were only three reviews at the time, with a 1 a 2 and a 10. The 10 was highly suspicious. So in order to try and drag the rating down to something that doesn't fool potential viewers, I'm adding another review.

This isn't a putrid film, but it isn't a great film either. It's more of an "eh" film. The "teens" are all annoying and spoiled, and I wanted them all to die. And having "Aunt Ethel" being portrayed as a nasty, evil witch was, in my opinion, a major mistake. I was expecting a kindly, matronly looking woman who you'd never suspect of being a child killer. Their use of music would match that appearance, but it didn't match a witch. The editing was choppy and the ending out of nowhere. I was bored through the entire film, but was determined to see if it would somehow redeem itself but no, it did not.

The best I can do is a 3. Grudgingly.

This is unbelievably bad on so many levels. Even for a project for school, this would be given a failing grade that results in the whole class laughing. The acting is terrible and the story line is absurd and just bad.

Alright, well I had no idea what I was getting myself into here when I sat down to watch "Halloween at Aunt Ethel's", except I had an anticipation of it being a horror movie.

Well, horror and horror might be stretching it a bit too far. At least it had elements of horror to it, but it seemed more of a low budget spoof than it did of being an actual horror movie.

I can't really claim to have been overly amused by the movie, as it definitely incorporated elements of comedy into the script as well. Perhaps I was just not in the target audience. Or perhaps it was the fact that everything just dripped with that particular amateurish, low budget feel to it. And that wasn't really something I had expected to be in for, so it was a slap in the face with a cold, dead fish for me.

It should be said that some of the acting performances were actually good and definitely helped make the movie bearable to watch and sit through. And I did manage to endure the entire movie, oddly enough. The likes of Stephanie Town ensured that there was some enjoyment to the movie, because she carried the movie quite a long way with her performance, in comparison to many others in the movie.

As for the "villain" of the movie... Seriously? Not only was that Aunt Ethel character laughable and just seemed more of a demented old lady than someone to be scared of. And the actress hired to portray this character wasn't particularly memorable.

This was not a bright moment in the history of horror movies, not by a long shot. And it is definitely not a movie that I will be returning to watch a second time.
