The production was amazing lighting was good acting was good for a fan film BUT…but but but…These fan film directors need to tell their Myers actors to stop thinking too much into the character, People say you can just throw anyone in a Myers mask and they can play Michael Myers…but when you watch these fan films including this one, You can tell why that’s not true…The Myers actors need to loosen up stop trying to walk slow and loosen their movements, Put your own stamp on it…Swinging weapons is the biggest give away of them trying to ‘‘act like Myers’’…Just swing the thing how you would normally and it will look more organic…

Also this film suffered from trying to be too much like the 2018 movie, You have a chance to make something completely your own and you copy the latest movie…I don’t get that…the beating in the beginning in the bg while someone is oblivious…2018…Michael going down the path then seeing a victim, Walking straight up to the person after choosing a blunt object weapon and hitting them with it…2018…Some of the music was 2018 and they even went as far as putting the knife in Michael’s left hand…COME on lol…There’s plenty of starving music artists who would love to make music for films…I had a guy make my music for mine and it’s not costly like people think, Especially if you know someone. The mask didn’t really cut it for me either that is another thing these films overlook…

It was really well done and I’m only highly critiquing cause I am bored and this seems to be the thread for it lol… Overall it’s a fan film and they can do what they want…PS I’ve always wanted to sculpt a custom mask for a fan film, I did one for mine and would like to for someone else!

I watched about 30 mins of it so far. I like it :rock:

In terms of production, this is amazing. Looks very professional. Actors were also REALLY good for a fan film like this. The only thing I would criticise is the storyline and how they utilised the shape. There wasnt a lot of suspense being built up. It seemed like there were kills left right and centre, meaninglessly. It would have been nice to see the shape stalking people a lot more, slowly coming in closer and closer and closer, but never knowing where he is and THEN surprise the audience with a kill, rather than Michael just walks in, kills someone, literally next scene, walks up to someone else, kills them, 2 minutes later, walks in, kills them too. It lacked a proper plot for the kills and seemed too rushed, which is understandable as this isn’t a feature film but these things still could have been catered to a lot more. Also the shape was too openly shown. From the very beginning we see the shape in the open, very bright lighting on him. Would have been nice to show low angles of him only up to his upper torso, showing him in dim lighting never really showing us the mask until possibly the 3rd act of the movie, leaving us as the audience wondering what he looks like rather than showing us straight away and also in lighting that didnt compliment the mask at all. Also, as someone mentioned above, the shape looked too force. Felt too much like someone trying to be Myers rather than an actual lunatic serial killer in a mask preying on people.

Overall, it was a good watch especially the production, but found it very hard to sit through without being constantly reminded that it was totally a fan film because of the lack of suspense, blinded storyline along with not knowing how to utilise the shape in shots, which was a shame because the production was that good, had those things been corrected and utilised properly, I could have totally bought this was a serious film that was actually really scary.

I respect the guys that made this and kudos to them! This was just my honest review.

Good point on the lack of suspense! Anyone know what mask they used?

I agree with alot of what was said about the film, j appreciate their love for the characters to be dedicated enough to make a pretty good production fan film :movie_camera: together but as it was pointed out , alot of elements were copied and inspired by H40 or Halloween 2018 however u want to call it. And my thing is this is the abomination u chose to emulate and copy ?it’s hard to copy and emulate crap ,yea crap I said it.,and expect to make something really good out of that. You’re already putting yourself at a disadvantage from jump.

I dont know what mask is used, but looks like a sinister studios mask. I’m sure I’m wrong, but it’s just what I’m seeing in my eyes. I have no evidence, just guessing.

Yeah I could definitely see that.

My understanding is that it WAS a sinister studios mask

The fan film was pretty underwhelming to me. Waaaaay too many 2018 influences/copying. Seemed like the wife had her voice dubbed in studio and it didn’t sync up to the video, idk it was off quite a bit. The way the shape looked was not my cup of tea. Looked like a dad being Michael Myers on Halloween. I have more things to nitpick but it is just a fan film and I’ve never attempted one so I’ll hold off on going further. It is what it is, a fan film and I do appreciate efforts people make in their personal time to produce something they and we love. But my overall personal opinion is that it’s pretty lackluster.

I got around to watching it. I give it 3 out of 5. It was ok!

For a free movie I actually loved it.

Anyone know what mask it was it looked pretty good. Is it the sinister studio obsession or the Sinister studio the Hiro?

It also might be the trick or treat studios Boogeyman mask.

Can we figure out which one it is who knows for sure?

Thanks!

I’m betting it’s The Obsession. I have The Hiro(two actually) and The Obsession and this one looks like the later.
