This film episode on TV or a short film which goes straight to DVD but a full length horror film it just doesn’t do it for me. The story, visuals and acting were pretty good but I still just couldn’t find anything special or memorable about the film. I only just watched this film but I am already starting to forget what actually happen. I think that is bad. The acting was the best part and the two mains actors do a great job of demonstrating their characters back stories and why they do what they do. I did like the way the story went around in the end, and it was okay I suppose but nothing special and it certainly doesn’t pull the rest of the film with it.

Well Halloween was fun and for my first reviews after Halloween I going in a completely different direction than horror films. This surprisingly funny and weird comedy film is strangely warm with a brilliant all-star cast. I think the film is very unique in that I haven’t seen anything quite like it before but some of the aspects can be found in other films (run a ways etc.). I think this films main strengths come from its acting and impressive directing which is the best combination in any film. The cast are very good and I loved that the children actually have the ability to act, you’d be surprised how many kid actors are just terrible but in this they are fantastic. Oh and it’s got Bruce Willis, Edward Norton and Bill Freaking Murray! How is it not going to be great? This is the island of New Penzance. Sixteen miles long…forested with old growth pine and maple…crisscrossed by shallow tidal creeks…Chickchaw territory.

I don’t know where to start with this film, it’s funny but with a kind of heart felt performance. It’s the best character I have seen Seann William Scott perform. It is funny but also crude and coupled with brutal violence, this doesn’t bother me so I liked it. Super strange film to review.
