User Reviews

Honestly, I was bored.

I am a big fan of House and Rejects, even Zombie's first Halloween, but this animated film was nothing special. With a budget of 10$ million, you're left wondering if most of it simply went to paying the animators. The editing was all over the place and the main character didn't convince you in any way to care for him. In comparison to every other character, there wasn't much to keep you in your seat. I saw the Ottawa premier recently and felt robbed of my time. There was the occasional funny moment here and there, but the excessive use of spoofs (his own films and MANY others) was way overboard. After seeing the second Halloween, I had to admit that Sheri Moon was no actress, but she wasn't too bad just doing a voice for an animated character (which doesn't say much, really). I admire certain films that can poke fun at themselves, and here it was attempted but with nothing funny to back it up. Some people might say that's what he's all about, (what do I know?) but when the entertainment value suffers, there's no excuse. I found myself waiting for the film to end. I don't even believe this film is even worth the download. A friendly warning to all who care...
