Melissa L @Agent99 Oct 1, 2026 I thought it was pretty good, but the gratuitous and graphic love scenes were a bit much. Other than that, I liked this movie. See more John C @RT25427934 Sep 14, 2024 When I first switched this film it actually seemed like it had a lot of promise. It's a kind of slasher/horror film where an old woman (Aunt Ethel, in case you hadn't guessed) in an American town is thought to abduct and kill kids while they trick or treat on Halloween. A reasonable enough plot for a low budget horror movie (unless you think too hard about how this woman can operate while everyone knows and no law enforcement agency has thought to look into how dozens of children disappear forever on the same night every year for decades when around the same house). It's self-aware stylishly shot, but the script just isn't as funny as it thinks it is. The cast aren't recognisable and they're trying their best with what they're given, but they just come across as overacting in every scene. Maybe if the script was better you can ignore the scenery-chewing element, but while neither is strong it's actually quite hard to watch. Plus it seems a lot longer than it actually is. It's only about an hour and ten minutes, but you get long scenes of characters texting each other and s3x scenes which are just there because the actors clearly didn't mind (or were paid well enough!) to indulge in. Perhaps the worst acting (and make-up!) come from 'Aunt Ethel' herself. I get how villains can be 'larger than life' in their sadistic kills (ala Freddy, from the 'Nightmare' franchise), but she overacts more than the rest of the cast put together and she's not funny, intimidating or even horrific in appearance. Not much happens in the first half of the film and the humour is pretty low-brow. If it has one high point it's the 'milf' who actually made me laugh when she was on screen. It may be short, but it feels long. There are a million better movies to watch on Halloween. See more Aug 9, 2020 Trash, one of the worst movies (if you can call it that) that I have seen in my entire life. BAD. It tells the story of an old woman who looks like a transvestite who murders children with whom she then makes candy for Halloween. Nobody investigates anything. The parents do not look for their children, the town is suspicious but it is said that there is no evidence when it turns out that the old woman has a house full of corpses. Boring scenes with old Aunt Ethel goofing around and nothing, absolutely no blood or horror or suspense, pure slop. There are also two teenage girls who are dedicated to showing their tits and having sex in scenes that seem to be taken from a porn movie. The performance of the two actresses is disgraceful. The mother and boyfriend of one of them also appear in meaningless dialogues. There is hardly any script or plot, don't waste your time watching this thing. This is not even cinema.
