Tales of Halloween (2015)

Very best movie i ever watch

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Halloween-themed segments set in one suburban town.The Good Stories: Sweet Tooth-Marveling over his haul, a kid trying to eat his treats learns the story of a boy not getting his candy and has become a demon every Halloween. While his guardians play with the haul, they realize their stories might be true. This was a decent enough segment. This really works the Sweet Tooth character, which is a believable small-town backstory that's somewhat fun and given a lengthy time to play-out. The eventual retribution is carried out and delivers some thrills and solid gore- gags, but it suffers from a familiar set-up and expected conclusion.The Weak and the Wicked-Living in a desolate neighborhood, delinquents tormenting trick-or-treaters finds a loner attempting to stand up to their tactics. Turning to him, they realize too late who've they come across and must deal with their actions. This one ended up being quite surprising. This has quite a stellar backstory that's played out a grand theme of revenge is quite a stellar twist. That this has the kind of up-tempo and frantic action present here makes for a really exciting time here, and there's a lot to like.Ding Dong-Following a deadly Halloween freakout, a man resents going through a trick-or-treat game with his wife. When he realizes that it's starting again, he tries to stop her deadly plans from coming true. This was a somewhat offbeat, mixed-bag affair. The scenes of her going through the different antics with the children are quite fun, while the witch effects here are incredibly gruesome. The main thing holding it down is a severe lack of information on what's going on, making the entire affair confusing overall.This Means War-When neighbors move across the street, a man's attempts to have the scariest haunted house on the block are severely compromised by their more modern display. Growing frustrated by their lack of respect, their challenge reaches a boiling point. This ends up as the most frustrating effort due to the lack of resolution as this one just tends to end. Still, their antics to one-up each other give this a nice amount of fun.Friday the 31st-Running for her life, a woman tries to escape from the serial killer who has stalked and killed her friends. Despite her best efforts, she can't escape from the madman who soon finds a more otherworldly threat in his presence. This was just an absolute blast of a segment and was the highlight of it all. The fact that it plays with slasher clichés and conventions through the woods and the shack battle before it becomes a wild, deranged inversion in the second half with the killer now forced to battle an equal as the two take turns brutally dismembering each other makes for a truly gruesome and wickedly funny segment.The Ransom of Rusty Rex-Attempting to kidnap a millionaire's kid, two thugs hold him for ransom and follow through on their plans. When it all blows up, they realize they have a more troublesome charge than they expected. This was a rather enjoyable effort which has a lot to like. The twist to the origin of the kid makes this a solid effort, and the different tactics to get rid of his resulting in a fun time overall. Again, not much is known about what's going on but it's still enjoyable.Bad Seed-Following the death of her husband, a woman's claims that a pumpkin came to life and eat him is scoffed at by the police. When more stories turn up, the investigating officer finds something far deadlier than she expected. This was a fun and enjoyable one. The meta-thread of mentioning the other events in the town give this a fun feel, and the attacks by the creature are incredibly fun with the thing walking around leading to some grisly antics. The ending doesn't pack a punch, but it's still enjoyable.The Bad Stories: The Night Billy Raised Hell-Heading out trick-or- treating, a young kid initially told to prank an elderly man is forced to go along with a series of tricks. As the games continue, he soon learns the shocking reason for his plans. This was quite a lame and barely worthwhile segment. The main joy here is seeing how far he goes with his pranks, and while there's a certain glee to be had it's about all that goes right. The main problem is that none of the pranks are funny or have a point to them, the pointed celebrity cameo is just plain pathetic and there's such a stupid twist at the end that it really spoils the entire segment with barely any horror resolution.Trick-Hosting a Halloween party, a group of friends find their festivities interrupted when one of the neighboring trick-or- treaters attacks them. As they succumb to more attacks, they soon learn the otherworldly reason for their behavior. This ended up being a mixed affair. There's a lot to like here with the efficient manner they go about slaughtering the group and it manages quite a few scenes of brutal action here. The problem is that none of it is particularly scary as the lack of motivation for anything manages to make the entire affair confusing and it just seems banal overall.Grim Grinning Ghost-Gathered for Halloween, a group of adults learn a terrifying legend involving a local ghost. When one woman confronts the sinister creature, she finds her night to be more terrifying than she expected. This was a rather troubling and overall bland effort. Most of this is that barely anything happens as the vast majority of the running time is her walking home which is effectively eerie and somewhat chilling. Still, the lack of action here doesn't really give this one any suspense and it just makes for a dull enough offering leaving this one of the weaker stories.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Extreme Graphic Language and children-in-jeopardy.

This 2015 horror anthology film features 10 tales taking place on Halloween night. What can I say? This had potential, but could've been better and only had a couple decent stories. Also, it seems like there's more silly than scary moments. Adrienne Barbeau (The Fog), Barry Bostwick (The Rocky Horror Picture Show), Lin Shaye (Insidious), Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), Robert Rusler (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2), John Landis (An American Werewolf in London) and Joe Dante (The Howling) make appearances. I'd view this at least once only if you're into Halloween or horror.

I ended up enjoying enjoying 'Tales of Halloween' more than I expected to - sort of at least. I had low expectations going in, then I didn't enjoy the first segment and was really dreading sitting through nine more of these things. Then things picked up. Then they went down hill again, and then back up. It really was a roller coaster ride in terms of quality. Breaking each of the ten segments down into simply good, average or bad would go a little something like this:Sweet Tooth: badThe Night Billy Raised Hell: goodTrick: averageThe Weak and the Wicked: goodDing Dong: badGrim Grinning Ghost: averageThis Means War: badFriday the 31st: average (terrible story, but had the most effective scare of the whole film)The Ransom of Rusty Rex: badBad Seed: badSo half of them were bad, three were average and two were good. If you'd told me that would be the breakdown going in I probably would've taken it. Not happily, but it's certainly better than all ten of them being shocking. My advice would be to give it a miss though. Even in the terrible world of modern horror there are better things out there than this.

As the titles suggests we get a couple of stories that are all connected in a way (Halloween and all). There are also a lot of people who are famous (or infamous) in the horror genre that are involved with this. In front of the camera and behind it too. While this was playing at a few Fesstvals, it seems "real" Horror fans didn't quite like it as much as it was intended to be liked.They are the core and main audience, but the general feeling was that this is too "light" (not enough gore, not dark enough and more things that might make this seem a bit too mainstream). If you don't mind that or maybe don't see it that way at all, you will have a lot of fun though. The effects are good and the acting is more than decent too. Recognizing the people on the screen as they walk by ... You'll either like that or don't care. It's a fun affair though and should not be seen as anything else ...
