On Halloween

But still nothing special. The acting is bad, the kills are okay, story is stupid. Thats all really mediocre movie.

Sorry but there is NO story here. Bad script, casting, direction and acting. looks like it was shot with a backyard camera. Colour grade looks very cheap and the Amercian accents are horrible, I should know Im an American living in Oz. Was extremely hard to sit through.

On Halloween (2020) is an Australian horror movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a news reporter who believes in the legends of the local woods where bad things have happened in the area every Halloween season. When a string of murders start again as usual she looks to find whom or what is responsible. The police believe they've found the person responsible, but when the killing continues they're left with no choice but to listen to the reporter.

This movie is written and directed by Timothy Boyle (The Plex) and stars Terry Serio (Running on Empty), Mike Flokis (Underbelly), Patch May (Shadow Wars), James Pratt (Malibu Crush), Ava Caryofyllis (Thor: Love & Thunder) and Robert Harrell (Reckoning).

The writing acting is fairly average and isn't too bad. The storyline is fairly straightforward and not overly clever. The face paint and masks were solid and created the appropriate menacing looks. The kills and violence were sudden and well executed but not gory. The twist(s) at the end wasn't as smart as Boyle hoped.

Overall, this movie is a below average addition to the horror genre that I wouldn't go too out of my way to see. I would score this a 3.5-4/10 and recommend skipping it.

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.
