The perfect film to get you in the mood for Halloween and a must for any horror film fan. The film takes images and legends associated with 31st October and celebrates the lore and legends and a unique and fun way. This is no Saw or Paranormal Activity, this is an old school, sitting around an open fire, scary story without the need of gore of shock. It approaches the story in a non linear way and links several individual stories into one overall pattern bringing together the threads into one big picture. I feel this boosts the film to a higher level as it wouldn't have worked quite the same way if they had just been individual chapters, like in a collection of short stories. The film looks amazing and the cast really work well, especially as a group of mostly unknowns. The twists will keep you guessing and it will truly get you in the mood for the trick or treat season. Happy Halloween!
