Given my love and fascination with the horror genre, of course I opted to watch the 2022 movie "Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween", as I had the chance to do so here in 2025. Sure, I had never heard about the movie prior to watching it, but I was lured in by the movie's cover, and the fact that I had never heard about it.
The movie started out well enough, but sort of flatted out about halfway through and slipped into a slump, one from which the narrative never recovered. Sure, it was a watchable enough movie for what it was, but it was hardly an outstanding horror movie. The concept idea behind the story was definitely interesting, and the synopsis sounded promising, but the execution from script to screen just wasn't all that impressive.
I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, and that was actually something that spoke in favor of the movie. I will say that the acting performances in the movie were fair.
Visually then the movie was okay. It wasn't a movie that made a whole lot usage of special effects. But the special effects that were in the movie were actually fair.
Watchable a single time, but this movie hardly warrants more than just a single viewing. Is it a movie that I would recommend horror fans to rush out and get to watch? Hardly so.
My rating of director Rob York's 2022 movie "Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween" lands on a four out of ten stars.
