I sat down to watch "The Halloween Family" with my 9 year old son, and we were both liking the movie's poster/cover.

10 minutes into the ordeal, I called it quits and gave up. I just had my share of atrocious CGI animation of lanky movement and genuinely badly animated characters.

It should be said that my 9 year old son's interest in "The Halloween Family" was also quickly fading, but he at least managed to endure 29 minutes, then he tossed in the towel and called it quits as well.

I wonder how an animated movie like this even makes it through the first rough drafts and actually make it to the movie market. Because this was reminiscent of something that appeared to be a high school film making course final project for passing the course.

Save yourself the time, money and effort and stay well clear of this.

My rating of "The Halloween Family" is a mere three out of ten stars. Why? Well, at least they managed to produce an animated movie, and that effort alone does warrant some appreciation. But as for this being an entertaining animated movie that you just have to see? No, don't count on it.

I'm only two minutes in and felt compelled to create an imdb account to rate this to warn others. The voices in this animated movie are so grating that it has me on edge. As I write this, even my four year old son had to turn this film off. What a waste of money renting this movie. I have no idea if the story is any good but in my opinion, it is completely unwatchable so it is irrelevant. I'll say it again, save your ears and do not watch this movie!

I honestly believe "The Halloween Family" could be used to mentally impede the development of any viewer unlucky enough to be subjected to the film in its entirety. And if not at least physically reducing the amount of brain activity present in the viewer, then playing this film on a 24/7 loop, could at minimum, be used as a form of torture at Guantanamo Bay, or a a similar CIA/CPC black site. This film is better just avoided.

Despise the hate this movie I decided to not listen and just watch it for myself. And I must say I was GREATLY SURPRISED, sure the cgi isnt the greatest but the story telling here is fantastic and larrys character development throughout this movie is terrific. Haters can be blinded by bad visuals but there is truly a beautiful story here its sad no one can appreciate it. People forgot what true cinema is it doesnt matter what the movie looks like it only matters whats under those visuals and cgi and in this case it is a one of a kind story never told before. I want to say thank you to wow now entertainment for making such an amazing story that will be talked about for generations and I will be waiting for the sequel.
