In recent memory of Halloween horror movies released in theaters, we've been subjected to 6 years of Saw (i.e. torture horror). It was refreshing to see a take on the old serial type movies/shows of the 80's brought to screen here. I loved the Creepshow element of the film, and was pleasantly surprised to see more of an original take, than just a remake of something I've seen before. My only complaint is that this film wasn't released in theaters when it really deserved such treatment. If a Halloween remake can get two movies to the big screen (in August), and The Wolfman (in February), I guess I would ask, why not release a Halloween themed film around Halloween? Was the movie great? No, it had it's flaws. Was it a fun time? For a Halloween movie, 100% yes. Is it worth the purchase? I'd say as much as any other holiday film out there. My advice - Skip Saw VI and purchase this instead for a true Halloween treat. I'm not sure if the online nonsense overhyped this movie, but the bottom line is it's a fun time.

I had been waiting for this movie since i saw the trailer for it on the 300 DVD. I was completely satisfied with it and have already watched it twice this month with at least two more viewings possible this week. You're correct in saying that it's not an awe inspiring film, but it is exactly the type of "Halloween" film that Halloween needed. And ot's a quick, fun, 83 minutes of good Halloween fun. I do wish that I had a Blu-ray player, as the standard DVD only has the Season Greeting special feature, I'd very much like to the Halloween History Doc and the Deleted Scenes that the Blu-ray offers.
