All Hallows Eve is an anthology movie. During Halloween, the babysitter finds an old VHS tape among all the candy the kids have gathered during the trick or treating. There is no indication of what is on it. At first, she’s hesitant to if it should be played or not. The kids want to, and she finally gives in.
On the tape, there are short sequences where people die in violent circumstances. In other words, someone murders them. There’s one common theme in all of them. There’s a mysterious clown (or a mime) connecting it all.
Yes, this is Art the Clown, whom we’ve seen in the Terrifier movies several times. I knew this beforehand, and that was actually the main reason I watched the film in the first place. The Terrifier movies are very gruesome; this must also be awesome, right? Well…no! First off, there’s another dud playing the part, and once you’ve gotten used to Davif Howard Thornton doing it, it’s really hard to see someone else as the bloodthirsty clown (Mike Giannelli does the part here).
To be completely honest, All Hallows Eve is a borefest. There are no interesting kills, and once there is something that could have been worth mentioning, it’s either off-camera or too over-the-top to be funny. I had a hard time keeping interest during All Hallows Eve, and I’m not even sure if I can say where one segment ended and the other started.
I understand the main point of how All Hallows Eve is about to scare you, and it’s not through the segments; its most terrifying aspects are actually in the main story. But it’s really far-fetched and totally illogical, even supernatural.
