I was given the chance to sit down and watch the 2019 horror movie "Halloween Party" here in 2020. Without ever having heard of the movie, I sat down to watch it, readily expecting myself to be in for a horror movie. Turns out that "Halloween Party" wasn't even the least bit scary, nor overly interesting either.
The storyline told in "Halloween Party", as written by writer and director Jay Dahl turned out to be a rather unappealing and unwholesome one. The storyline just never caught on with me, partly because it seemed like a random heap of incoherent events and also because it just was downright boring.
For a horror movie then "Halloween Party" missed the train entirely. There was absolutely nothing scary in this movie whatsoever. And for a seasoned horror veteran such as myself, then this was just a swing and a miss. I was rather bored with the movie and managed to endure about an hour of the movie, then I just gave up out of sheer boredom, and I have no intention of ever returning to watch the rest of the movie.
The acting in the movie was adequate, taking into consideration the severe limitations imposed on the actors and actresses by a dubious script and storyline.
What "Halloween Party" has working for it, was the acting performances and the production value. But without a properly entertaining storyline, there was just so little that could be done to lift up the movie.
My rating of "Halloween Party" is a mere three out of ten stars. If you enjoy horror movies with a proper storyline that contains scares and spooky moments, then "Halloween Party" is not the movie for you.
