It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Haven Kaycee
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Shame i gave it a 1 star because it was a pretty good story, but the acting was bad and i mean really bad. not worth watching just for the story. please dont waste your time on this

OK, so is there better out there? Course there is but, in the end, to me a movie (of any genre) needs to grip my attention and keep me 'interested'. While this is fairly on the same wavelength as'Attack the block' (which I loved too), I appreciate that is low budget and independently made and please keep up the good work!

I'll admit I only gave this a chance because of the fantastic cover art by Graham Humpreys, who if you didn't know already is responsible for some of the greatest VHS horror cover art of the 1980's. What I got was one of the worst acted, unoriginal, and terrible films that I've seen for years.The acting from pretty much the entire cast was unbelievable bad, especially the main kid Derren played by Ethan Taylor. Obviously the cast aren't Oscar winning actors, but even for unknowns there was some unforgivable displays of 'acting' throughout. The sound mixing was also a massive issue in some scenes and felt like I was watching an old school Jackie Chan film at times.The attempt to create a Halloween atmosphere littered with pumpkins and various other decorations around the estate, while wasn't a bad effort just didn't really add anything, and the need to add even more pumpkins to the third act of the film in the abandoned factory setting was just completely unnecessary and just seemed forced to try and create a 'spooky' atmosphere and failing miserably.Overall though it really is a boring, clichéd, drab piece of work which will no doubt be found on the horror channel repeating itself every other week, or in the bargain section of HMV.

A classic horror film with an unexpected outcomeThe film is centred around a group of delinquent youths living on an estate. Approaching halloween, graffiti tags with warnings appear: "We are coming"… It is clear that the gang introduced to us from the beginning are not responsible for these tags.For the first part of the film, the suspense is built and we also learn of the relationships between different members of the gang. We are also introduced to the two protagonists Darren (Ethan Taylor) and Cassie (Sarah Akokhia) who are brothers and sisters with a troubled but relatable family history. It is touching to see how their relationship changes throughout the course of the film. The film picks up pace half way through and we are thrown into a whirlwind of kidnappings by eery mask-wearing villains. The second half takes place in a creepy abandoned building and the events leading up to the film apex would not be out of place in a video game. The directors obvious passion from the horror genre shines through, as the film is jam packed full of references from classics such as John Carpenter's Halloween. Another highlight was the acting and especially impressive were the youngest members of the cast who were clearly well directed.This accomplished the nail biting tension one would want from a horror, interspersed with moments of light humour and also a gripping plot.
