Halloween Hell (2014) User Reviews

If you like low budget, kind of original ideas.

I swear I tried to see the whole thing but I just could not. The acting not that bad but the story was silly and the pace did not help to stay focus and no talk about the budget.

So if you are into those kind of films maybe you can watch it until the end, if not do not even try.

Demon in a Bottle...

Great Gertie's Nightgown, Eric Roberts is at it again. He supposedly plays Count Dracula who hosts some type of reality television series known as Halloween Hell. It seems (for whatever reason) some teens found a doll carved out of lava straight from hell, were all flayed by a demon (in some form or fashion), and then this turd was birthed.

Fast forward to the present and it seems someone(?) has now given this premise a green light, so it can be produced as reality television. The winner, i.e. the survivor(s) of the night will claim/split a $100,000 prize. I found it more than exasperating that when the murders of these contestants aired over television, there was absolutely NO reaction by the public--no cops, no calls to the "television" studio, no nothing. The six brain-dead goobers cast as the participants lacked an opposable thumb between them. There were no characters, only caricatures.

Eric Roberts should be ashamed of himself. I do not expect him to consistently appear in top-notch Hollywood films, but even this is a step WAY down from what he usually is in. His attempt, albeit a pitiful one, at playing Dracula has him constantly mugging for the camera and adding comments, e.g. "Wow," "That's gotta hurt," and "That's awful." No, Eric, the only thing awful in this movie was you. He has the screen presence of a turnip.

Rated "R" and not recommended.

Is this a joke?

I had to laugh at the other reviewer's comments on this film. It really is a dog of a movie and by far the worst thing I've seen Eric Roberts put his name to, although a glance at his recent cast list shows that perhaps he isn't done with the terrible films just yet. He plays Count Dracula, the host of a killer reality TV game show, and his performance consists of cut-away ham acting and mugging for the camera.

The story is about six contestants who have to spend one night in a room with a demon, which is mildly cool-looking and traditional. Said demon shows up to murder them occasionally in sloppy gore scenes. There's a psychological aspect to the story but it's not enough to make any of this remotely interesting. The whole thing is laughable and not in a good way, and the actors don't even bother. The running time is padded out with teasing strip scenes but no nudity, lame comedy, and a general air of aimlessness.

good to see the demons from "it waits" still getting rolls

HEY EVERYBODYS ITS ME (4) and today we review .... peeping tom ..the internet reality show , THE MOVIE !

Welcome to mr eric roberts latest venture in film as dracula ...if only in out fit and not much else lol.....we follow the story of some young people trapped in a place with some cursed thing and a monster killing them off ..........SO pretty much every story line in every indie horror film ever made lol.........BUT that aside this one is volunteers staying in a place ....for money with a cursed idol .....that's contains a demon ..... and you know it's great to see the demon from "it waits" still getting work years later .... I know how hard it is for demons to catch a break in hollywood as an actor ....sure SEEMS like it would be easy BUT NOPE .... everyone wants asian tv ghosts ..... OR 7 foot tall nuns .... so your standard demon has few options and being honest here the last DOOM movie didn't even have demons in it ...did it ? ... I think they just dressed up some dog turds they found and said "there we go ... doom monsters "

the film does seem to go with some standard horror tropes though ....so don't expect too much "new ground " to be broken here ...... and i have to say ....while the first guy of the group is getting k!lled the acting talent of the others is .......award winning .... from the "what the s#!t man?" to the blank expressions ....just wow .... i mean you watching a guy basically getting tore apart .......but you know ... its casual friday so ..what evs ........ THEN to see if he's ded .......she says "you got a mirror?" LOL .....you just saw his next go spert ....then you checked the pulse and he had none ....so now lets check breathing THEN try cpr ? .... you are REALLY trying here .... sometimes you got to know when to let go lady ....your officially one of those ladies i would NEVER date because if I ever said "yea its over" .... WELP I guess I better think again ....

however THEN some acting kicks in lol.........your on par horror film acting .....and usual cheesy FX so no complaining here .......

everything here is kind of your average horror flick , nothing wrong with that ... just one of the pumped out flicks of the 2000-2010 era where it seemed just anyone was making anything to get it out .....and that's VERY odd considering the director is the same guy who put out some amazing b-films from the 80s but then did absolutely NOTHING until this ???? And to top it off he one stated he hated how films can be just cookie cutter made by the big companies and just any old director etc can throw it out there .... then he ends up making a pretty generic film YEARS later ? LOL ....

but I digress ....over all its just a basic mid 2000's horror flick ...

5/10 because its mid level , nothing crazy but nothing so bad it deserves bad ..... for indie horror its middle of the road ...5.

WOW! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Talk about your really bad, low budget movies! If you like 'em, this is right up your alley. Now, let's see..... -Acting: non-existent. Aren't there supposed to be people who actually ACT in a movie? Maybe I'm wrong, but I always thought that's the way it worked. -Story: oh, I must have fallen asleep. Sorry! Was there a story anywhere in there? I guess I missed it. -Locatios/Scenery: whatever places were open for business and we're handy on the day of shooting -Lighting: au natural. That means ya takes what ya gets. -Photography: that was photography? I think someone from the local high school AV department borrowed a camera from a buddy -Props: yeah, I guess there were some. They held the doors open. -Effects/Makeup: looked like Fingerpainting 101. At least the blood looked real red. Must have been all arterial bleeding. -Editing: what's editing? -Music: yeah, there was some of that, too, I think -Other: anyone involved, to any degree, in this, uh, "movie" should definitely NOT give up their day job!

This is just the kind of movie that's absolutely PERFECT for Eric Roberts!

UGH!

This movie was SO bad, it made my pee-pee hurt! They should forcefully show this to felons in solitary confinement.
