Well, I wasn't exactly harboring much of any high hopes for this 2022 comedy titled "Halloween Friends", but I figured that it might be worth checking out nonetheless. Why? Well, because of it apparently appearing to be a spoof on the "Halloween Ends" movie, given this movie's title.
Now, I had never heard about "Halloween Friends" from director Mark Mos prior to sitting down here in 2023 to watch it.
I managed to endure 60 minute out of the 84 minute runtime that "Halloween Friends" ran for. Then I just couldn't take anymore of the suffering. This movie was a swing and a miss, and a massive one at that. The storyline in the movie was not entertaining, enjoyable or even funny. So passing this 2022 movie as a comedy is somewhat of a stretch.
The acting performances in the movie were amateurish, but at least that was in tune with the overall feel of the movie; amateurish. But I do think they had fun making the movie at least.
As for the wardrobe and costumes in the movie, yeah, this was just cheap Halloween dress-up costumes, and cheap ones at that. They didn't even have a proper hockey mask similar to the one Jason Voorhees wears in the "Friday the 13th" movies.
"Halloween Friends" was utterly failed to entertain me, and this is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this ordeal in lesser or greater extend so you don't have to.
My rating of "Halloween Friends" lands on a one out ten stars.
