Hallow's End (2003 Video)

Intriguing horror idea marred by weak acting and bad production work

[7 March 2005]

This feature, which looks like a mediocre student production, has a very intriguing idea for a horror story, that being a Halloween night in a frat haunted house tour where the players become the horror characters they are performing. However, the production values are so weak and sometimes so inept that the whole idea is ruined. The acting is what you'd expect from college students, generally mediocre and either too weak or over-the-top. Fortunately, I only spent $1 for this DVD, so in that respect it was okay, but it's really not worth much more than that. Just can't figure out why some folks rave about it and give it a 10. Do they have a stake in it somehow?
