All Hallows' Eve 2 (2015)

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This is another anthology with the shortest segment running about 4 minutes. The first two segments (second one was my favorite) deal with Halloween while the rest do not. I found 2-3 segments enjoyable and the rest was meh. Perhaps the most amazing aspect of the film was the woman had a working VCR attached to her TV set and not in a closet.I have never seen a pumpkin carved that easy, quickly, and precise with a large knife.Guide" F-bomb. No sex or nudity

I was disappointed. None of the vignettes were very scary, and I think it was because they were too short to build up any real suspense or sense of dread that was so well used in the first film.The pumpkin head guy wasn't scary or menacing at all, unfortunately. And the ending was a cheap rip-off from the first film. It just fell totally flat, so I am surprised that it got good reviews.

My quick rating - 4,7/10. Another horror flick in the anthology format. If you are unfamiliar, these are short stories bundled together into one film, usually bound by an underlying central theme. This one, as the first one was (and also the "VHS" movies) is centered around a mysterious videotape appearing and the contents of it. That plot is nothing more then fodder to bring the stories on. This one had a few good shorts, some average, and the rest garbage. Pretty typical of anthology flicks. Not going to break them all down, that will be up to you but the first "All Hallows Eve" was definitely better and also had a much creepier encompassing story to it. Make sure on this Halloween to save some trick or treat candy for sweet tooth ;)

Unlike the first film in the franchise, 'All Hallows Eve 2' gives us more bang for our buck.If you're going to limit your anthology film to just three short stories, you better make sure they're both entertaining and fun. Otherwise, you should take the approach most anthology films take, and that's throwing in as many short films as possible. Because eventually, someone is going to hit on something special, to make up for the several bad short films that infest this type of horror film. 'All Hallows Eve 2' does have a few fairly solid, entertaining short films. My personal favorite being 'Descent.' Solid little paranoia short about a woman trapped in an elevator with a possible serial killer. Most of the stories lack gore, and just about everything required to keep people entertained on Halloween. Luckily, each story just flies by, leaving you hoping for the next gem - You just aren't going to find it.Random Ramblings of a Madman: We shouldn't be seeing a third film in this franchise until next year, around Halloween, which is probably the best story of all.
