On Halloween

I watched this movie in my local cinema during a "Horror's Night" event, and because of this movie, I regret making my decision to participate there.

This movie is horribly written; it feels like its budget was a pack of beer and three quarters. Honestly, if it weren't for the movie description on websites, I wouldn't even know what the plot is about. The film contains random, meaningless flashbacks and horrible, absolutely horrible special effects that feel like they were made in 10 minutes using free software. If you were wondering, if the movie gets better at the end of it, it gets even worse. The final scenes are so bizarre that I feel like the author either drank too much or his crazy friend took his notebook and wrote the scenario for the climax of the story. Literally, it was so bad. Random things that made no sense, random plot twists that are just stupid...

Honestly, I feel like this movie is just a joke. I don't think someone who made this movie watched the final version and said "Okay, this movie is going to be an absolute hit!". I just can't get my mind around how bad the experience of watching this movie was.

But not the worst film of 2020 either. Remember back in the old days when pornos had acting and storylines? That's quality of directing at the start. It's kind of amusing, with its short snappy lines I'm thinking this would work okay in episode of Archer. The badness of it all wears thin, broken up occasionally when Boo is delivery lines quite well and the directing during action scenes improves. At its core is a story with potential, but it needs more fleshing out and a bigger budget to be great.

The acting is terrible. The script is awful and less than scary. It's pretty sad. A huge waste of time.

Everything about this movie just feels bottom of the barrel. The story is awful, the acting is even worse, and the dialogue feels dubbed in. No matter where the actors are, all the dialogue comes in at the same volume, feeling unnatural. The villain is laughable but at least he took an acting class or 2.

"The name's Boo, how do you do?"

It's not that hard to pull off a killer clown movie - take one clown, add weapons, add victims, shake, serve. On Halloween just tries way too hard to improve on that formula and doesn't succeed. S There's a plucky female journalist who shares a lot of research about killer clown sightings over the past 100 years, there are cops on a reality show for a little found footage presence, there's the requisite group of teens who get trapped in a spooky old house, and there's a (nonsensical) twist at the end. There are also terrible American accents, interchangeable characters, multiple timelines that I really couldn't keep straight, and most of the fun gore is either just off camera or too dark to see. The biggest problem I had (although I had many) was trying to be afraid of the killer clowns, as one was named Whaa and the other was named Boo. That they spoke in rhyme was goofy enough, but when trying to seduce someone into the immortal clown life, the viewer does not want to hear "drink and be a Boo" or "choose to be a Boo" over and over.
