AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Toronto85 The film begins with our main character Michael at five years old witnessing his father killing his mother on Halloween and then committing suicide. Flash forward to present day (1999), and we see Michael and a group of his friends heading out a spooky house his grandmother owns to celebrate the holiday. Now if you've seen the original film "The Fear", you'd remember that the wooden life-sized dummy Morty used people's fears against them to kill. Well Morty is back and up to his old tricks. He takes the fears of the group and uses those fears to kill them off in "creative" ways.I like this sequel much more than the original because it isn't as dark and depressing and we actually see more of Morty stalking the group. I like the plot line of Michael's father being inside of the Morty dummy as well. And this movie takes the Halloween tagline and milks it for all it's worth. For example, the group decides to dress up in costumes that represent their fears. One of them is afraid of sharks, so he dresses up as a shark. Another is scared of blood, so she dresses in all red. Oh and Morty looks way creepier in this film then the first one. And he can talk!Overall, The Fear: Halloween Night is not a masterpiece but it is a better watch then the first film. It definitely has its slow parts through the fast half, but I like the Halloween theme to it and it is creative at times with regards to the character's deaths.6/10

H-Volke I don't know why I saw this movie, but I think the cover looked cool. And that's all the audience can expect when watching this nonsense. It simply tries to copy films like "Scream" etc., but it fails!!!! And how!!! More than 90 minutes no gore, nothing, and I expect that this was the r-rated version with all violence cut out. That this crap has been rated 18 in Germany shows that in this country censorship and ignorance rules by the FSK (comparable to MPAA or BBFC). Admittedly, gore and violence do no make a good horror movie, but even the dialogues are so dull and senseless that I had to pull the forward button as often as I could. My advice: save you money!!!!

preppy-3 A young boy sees his mother getting killed and his father hanging himself. 20 years later he gets a bunch of friends together to perform an exorcism on himself so he won't turn out like his father. All the stock characters are in place: the nice couple; the "funny" guy; the tough (but sensitive) hood; the smart girl (she wears glasses--that's how we know); the nerd and two no-personality blondes. It all involves some stupid wooden statue that comes to life (don't ask) and kills people. I knew I was in trouble when, after a great opening scene, we jump to 20 years later--ALL bad horror movies do that!The dialogue is atrocious, the acting is bad (except for Betsy Palmer--why Betsy?) and the killings are stupid and/or unimaginative. My favorite scene is when two people are supposedly having sex and the statue knocks the guy off the bed to show he's fully dressed! A real bad, stupid incoherent horror film. Avoid at all costs.

horrormb Well, I was somewhat entertained but this one, while trying to match the formula of the original, it fell short by mere miles. Somehow, I would think a blinking wooden puppet (maybe you've seen it) would make someone wary anyways and some things, such as the talisman, could have been used more effectively in the end. Too many things were unrealistic (stupidity statement) such as the grill and the pool. It had more of a Hollywood ending than I've seen in a while and the main highlight was seeing Betsy Palmer (Mrs. Voorhees) come back. It was too convoluted and senseless but it still entertained so I give it a 6 out of 10.
