Viewing Notes
Following up MOTEL HELL with another ‘80s horror but this time one I hadn’t seen before. This Aussie take on HALLOWEEN is a mixed bag with a weirdly abrupt editing style that’s jolting at times. And yet… it’s still a fun, interesting watch. This would make a good movie night movie.
It seems to want to be a mix of Italian giallo and Carpenteresque HALLOWEEN but doesn’t really pull off either of those things, inadvertently becoming its own unique thing.
