This is really quite sad. It looks put together by a dramaa club over the pandemic. The lead is almost unbelievable as a human, she is awkward and doesn't seem like she even wants to try to act. The others aren't bad, but a little over the top and stagey. This seems like they did this play and thought it would be cool to pick up a couple cell phones and make it into a movie. There are few funny parts though, the "stoner" has some good lines and delivers them best of the bunch. I really can't believe I sat through the whole thing, and find it strange the other reviews are so glowing.
Well done! Quite a little surprise I found on Shudder today. Nicely acted by all involved, nice camerawork and lighting, well paced and just enough gore and humor to satisfy a one hour watch. Looking forwards to the directors next movie.

I read the reviews prior to watching this short flick and between them and overall rating >5, I thought I was in for a fun 60 minutes. Suffice it to say, I was wrong. If you look at my history, I have watched thousands of movies, written hundreds of reviews, and rated countless films. Most of the time I can find at least one small facet of a film, no matter how unenjoyable, that prevents me from rating it a '1.' That was not the case here.
This was terrible. The acting was bad, the special effects were non-existent (and by that, I truly mean non-existent...as in, they were not needed, as there was nothing even remotely catalogued as blood in the film, except when some folks vomited). There is no real scenery, as they used existing stores and buildings; there was no music other than some pre-packaged Halloween sounds; costumes? What costumes?
After watching, I re-read the reviews and not a single one (except the one "poor" review) held any truth about the film. I don't even mean subjective opinions, but the things people mentioned in reviews didn't even happen in the film. In other words, the majority of reviews are fake.
Truly a first for me. A movie without a single shred of positive opinion from me. And I consider myself a rather forgiving viewer. This was the first film I've rated a 1. Don't say you weren't warned.

Adore the lead. Performances are solid and it swings above its budget.
It is definitely worth checking out if you enjoy the horror comedy genre. It's no Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz but those are high bars to make it over and unfair comparisons.

Well, what can I say... I made this movie with some of my very best friends in the whole world and I am very proud of what we accomplished. I am so excited to see it released and I hope anyone reading this review gives it a watch--every rental, purchase, view and review makes a big difference to us indie filmmakers! Thanks in advance for the being apart of the Mass Hysteria Family! Hope you enjoy the film... Happy Halloween!

I watched this short film on a day were I was just working around the house. I wanted something short to watch at lunch. The movie is absurd and funny. A well done low budget but not amateurish production from a crew that cared about what they were making.

A great movie with just the right amount of spooky and funny, which is perfect for good ol' Halloween fun. Love that it was filmed in and around Salem!
