HalloweeNight otherwise known as All Hallows eve is an independent horror made on the shoestring budget of just $4000. Now prior to this I watched another film of the same ilk made for a reported $100,000 and it looked like it was made on a handicam, I can only assume they had really good catering.
Considering the low budget HalloweeNight actually looks quite good, when it comes to cgi it struggles but for four grand it by all rights should have been worse.
It tells the story of a slow minded man who becomes bullied by some locals. He sets about calling forth the dark arts and animates a scarecrow to do his bidding and get revenge for him.
From there it descends into generic slasher territory with few surprises but does it competently enough.
Yes it's brainless, yes it's unoriginal but all things considered this is far better than you'd have expected.
The Good:
Looks great considering the budget
The Bad:
Dreadful soundtrack
Pretty poorly paced
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Living scarecrows one true weakness....................garage doors!
