Prolific director Bryan Singer takes a turn towards horror as the producer of this Halloween shocker directed by X2 and Superman Returns screenwriter Mike Dougherty. With four interwoven tales concerning a high-school principal who moonlights as a vicious serial killer, a college-age virgin who's saving herself for that special someone, a woman whose hatred of Halloween is only exceeded by her husband's love of the mischievous holiday, and a callous group of teens who carry out an unforgivably cruel prank, this fall frightener mixes Tarantino-style storytelling with the kind of chills that can only occur on the darkest day of the year. Brian Cox, Anna Paquin, Dylan Baker, and Leslie Bibb all star in a Halloween treat that's sure to deliver a few nasty tricks. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

| 4 different stories that all take place on the same block, at the same time, Halloween night!!!. Next to the original HALLOWEEN movie, this is a "new" classic. I never understood that term "new classic" until I viewed this film. I have not had this much "fun" watching a movie since I was a kid. Not much of a slasher, but more creepier and suspenseful in and "old school kind of way". Very little blood,(but you would not know it..)and a lot of scary Halloween fun. I would have rather have seen this in the theaters than the whole "SAW" franchise. Warner Bros. missed the mark on this one, as it sat on the shelf for two years. Thank goodness it can finally be seen. For those of you who are not horror fans, I suggest you check this one out anyway. The filmmaker hit this one out the park so to speak. The movie has a lot of tricks and tasty treats even for the cynical at heart. Every inch of the screen is filled with loving care, and it shows. With that said, this is the kind of movie that should be seen in wide screen format. It reminded me of the film: THE LADY IN WHITE, just with a more twisted and nasty sense of humor. Watch this if not own it for HALLOWEEN.* |
