All Hallows' Eve 2 (2015)

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

All Hallows Eve 2 is strange bag of items mixed into one movie, which for me kind of falls short of what it could be.The main elephant in the room here is yes the clown is missing in this one, and sadly there is no big act at the end of the movie. It's also missing a slasher feel to this film.That's the problem with the film, the clown is foreshadowed and foreshadowed in the original and then it leads to the main act at the end. With this sequel it just a bunch of short stories and then ends abruptly. Apparently some of these are youtube videos? Which to me is fine, gives them a higher platform to be on. The short stories range for slow (VERY SLOW) burners to out right gory within the first 5 minutes. It does a good range of stories for everyone, but it sadly masters at none.Still a solid a watch, just don't expect a ridiculous yet awesome ending like the first one.

I was disappointed. None of the vignettes were very scary, and I think it was because they were too short to build up any real suspense or sense of dread that was so well used in the first film.The pumpkin head guy wasn't scary or menacing at all, unfortunately. And the ending was a cheap rip-off from the first film. It just fell totally flat, so I am surprised that it got good reviews.

My quick rating - 4,7/10. Another horror flick in the anthology format. If you are unfamiliar, these are short stories bundled together into one film, usually bound by an underlying central theme. This one, as the first one was (and also the "VHS" movies) is centered around a mysterious videotape appearing and the contents of it. That plot is nothing more then fodder to bring the stories on. This one had a few good shorts, some average, and the rest garbage. Pretty typical of anthology flicks. Not going to break them all down, that will be up to you but the first "All Hallows Eve" was definitely better and also had a much creepier encompassing story to it. Make sure on this Halloween to save some trick or treat candy for sweet tooth ;)

I wish there had been a real review of this movie out there before I paid money to rent this. There was absolutely nothing about this movie that approached frightening. possibly a child under 8 years of age would be scared.Please do not waste your money on this. It is not clever, scary, concise, funny or any other adjective you may want out of a horror flick. It borders on theft. I had only one thought when it was over: how do I get my money back?Be warned. Do not waste your time. Rent some older movie instead, you will be more startled by a good movie which you have already seen.
