    • Trivia
      At one point on the road someone asks: 'has a zombie ever fired a gun in the history of cinema?'. Mike replies "no", but the truth is George Romero incorporated at least two instances of gun-toting zombies in his films: The first was 'Day of the Dead' (1985) where the now-famous zombie Bub is the first zombie to ever hold and fire a gun. The second instance was 'Land of the Dead' (2005), where there are multiple zombies using an assortment of firearms.
    • Goofs
      The characters state that in no point in film history has a zombie fired a gun. In George Romero's Land of the Dead, a zombie does indeed fire a gun. Also, there is an entire film dedicated to this - Fast Zombies with Guns (2009). If the characters were the horror fans they claim to be, they would have known that.

    Nothing great.
    This movie is about 5 friends - 4 guys, 1 girl - who go on a roadtrip to various Halloween haunted houses. Along the way, they discover some rather weird people. Still, they're not satisfied with the "Mickey Mouse" halloween houses, so they opt for those of a darker, more realistic nature, which they soon find. Some of them chase the group of out the houses with chainsaws. That leads the group to wonder just how far some people will go not just to scare the guests, but to also a thrill for themselves, which is the message of the movie: How far will people go for a thrill.

    The acting was good enough for what this was. Brandy Schaefer - the lead actress - is hot She reminded me a lot of Danielle Harris :D It's filmed through camcorders, which is an overused and rather annoying leftover gimmick from The Blair Witchcraft days. The movie finally starts moving along about 20 minutes before it ends; it's running time is 91 minutes, so yeah it's a bit boring up until then. I've heard there was an underworld of drugs, sex, and other dark vises, but I guess this movie is trying to say there's an underworld of Halloween houses, too. lol There is some nudity in this. The group goes to a strip club, and there are topless dancers with some of the fakest breasts I've ever seen.

    I gave this a 4-star rating. The storyline about visiting haunted houses was original, and as I said, the acting was pretty good for a low-budget indie. I love Halloween; it's probably my favorite holiday, but this movie did very little to keep me interested. Most of it had the group traveling from one haunted house to another. It wasn't very enthralling. But if you're a fan of found-footage films, you might enjoy this more than I did. I would not watch this again because of the bore-factor.
