Halloween Party

Halloween Party is not scary, and as a horror movie, that is a problem. But, the characters are engaging and fun, brought to life by a wonderful cast. And the directing and writing are excellent, so there’s a lot for eager audiences to take in. Just go in expecting an engaging mystery, not scares, and you’ll be fine.

Here’s a no-budget Canadian thriller that comes oh-so-close to being the “Little Horror Engine that Could.” Halloween Party almost gets by on just-enough character development, a workable plot — if they’d stick with it — and Classic Canadian Comic Banter.
