Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Ehirerapp Waste of time
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Michael Ledo Sarah (Katie Maguire) babysits for two kids on Halloween. One gets an unmarked VHS tape in his bag. She watches the tape which contain three episodes with a common theme of a clown and women being abducted/killed. Anybody who has seen a film of someone watching an unlabeled VHS tape knows what happens next.This is a "me too" yawner. I liked Kate Maguire as the babysitter, but the film needed to be something besides predictable film shorts. Okay as a rental.Parental Guide: F-bomb. Implied off screen rape. Mutilated FX nudity.
dnmulder-77664 Let me start this review off by saying that in no way do I think this movie is fantastic, artsy or amazing. I know this is a low-budget horror movie, but I think it's absolutely great at what it does, and that's mainly because it's a low-budget movie. I think it wouldn't have worked, had it been a big blockbuster title. The rating I give here is based on my point of view, which is completely personal.I would say that I'm a self proclaimed 'Horror movie buff.' I've seen about a 100 to 200 horror movies up until now, ranging from absolutely awful to amazingly immersive.But, no matter what amazing 9 or 10 / 10 horror movies I watch, this one somehow remains to stay at the top of my favourites. Why? Most likely because of the thin line between schlock and sheer horror and terror this movie manages to bear.There's something absolutely underlyingly creepy about this film, and every time I watch it, the ending sequence manages to give me the chills. The concept of some freak-o slipping an old tape into an innocent trick-or-treater's candy bag on Halloween sounds plausible enough as it is- and combining it with the old babysitter horror cliché gives it some believability. (to me, at least.)The film has some odd and roll-your-eyes moments, and some of the acting is a little painful, (I'm looking at you, kid actors and actress from the alien sequence.) However, I must give credit to Katie Maguire for her convincing performance, especially at the end, you'll know what I mean when you see it.This film consists of four stories, one being the main plotline, and three small stories that exist on the VHS tape that the kids and the babysitter watch. The main story is nicely thought out, has some fantastic moments, and wraps up nicely. The first story on the tape is okay, and has enough scary/grotesque moments to make you look away a couple of times. The second story on the tape is complete schlock and made me laugh out loud when I first watched it: up until the end. The third one is completely different from the other two, and is the best in terms of horror out of the three.Don't take my high review as a sign of 'This movie is amazing, everyone must watch it!', but rather as a minor reccomendation. Go into this with 0 expectations, and enjoy yourself. Close the blinds, turn the lights off, and just watch the movie. Preferably on Halloween itself, of course.A solid 8/10, based on the snorts and chills I got and still get from this movie every now and then!
Zbigniew_Krycsiwiki I've always had a weakness for anthology horror films, so this one, about a babysitter watching a mysterious VHS tape secretly given to her charges, intrigued me, but the end results are only a mixed bag. Built up from several short films made by this film's makers, this comes off as a patchwork, vaguely reminding me of the trainwreck, Night Train To Terror, only not as howlingly awful.Vignettes are about a demonic clown kidnapping women, a silly looking alien invading a woman's home, and another story of the same clown terrorising another young girl on the highway late at night, with a twist which doesn't seem plausible, so much as it seems like the filmmakers desperately just wanted a pointless surprise twist ending. The compilation film works better when it focuses on mood and atmosphere, because it is good looking and well filmed ( for the most part ) and it makes good use of colours, in a lot of scenes, but it goes way overboard trying to make the short films presented on the VHS look like old film footage, with artificial scratches, and static on the soundtrack. No VHS tape ever had things like that. Nor did a VHS tape ever have such ridiculous colour saturation, as is show here. The torture effects drown out what atmosphere is built in the other scenes. The twist ending is well done, if predictable. Overall, go into this with middle of the road expectations, it will be mildly amusing, and​ at only 76 minutes ( without the opening and closing credits ) it's a quick sit.
milena-trajcevska10 This is one of the worst horror movie i've seen.The trailer looked good so i said let's check out this movie.Worst mistake in my life.The clown looked pretty scary but what i saw after,i was disappointed.What was with the stories?Completely unrelated.All that fake effects and fake blood made me sick.Amateurs could have done a better job,definitely.The ending was disappointing,too.I have never seen anything more fake.The actors were pretty bad,too.Sorry,but i hated this movie.The alien scene was also bad,i did not understand it,like the rest of the movie.According to me,this movie should not be horror at all,because it did not scare me at all.
