Jeff’s take
I have to be honest in saying that the horror genre of movies is not my preferred genre.
I would generally prefer to watch the latest romantic comedies and regular comedies. Having said that, I really enjoyed this movie.
Up until this point, I have really expanded my preferences as they relate to what sort of movies I enjoy.
I generally enjoy movies like this one, where an evil person or entity of some kind, in this case I think it was an entity, kills random people and usually gets away with it until the very end, when it gets its comeuppance in most cases.
There have been a few movies I’ve watched that fit this description where the killer ends up not dying or getting arrested and gets away with all the people it has killed.
Those movies usually leave a sour taste in my mouth, as it is my belief that every good story needs an end and that no villain should ever get away with killing people completely.
It is my belief that there should be at least one person or group of people who is able to bring the killer to justice despite the chaos that the killer has caused throughout the film.
This is not always the case.
Despite this, this movie is a complete pass, as I enjoyed the violence throughout the film and hanging on the edge of my seat wondering how or if the killer would be brought to justice by the end of the film.
Jeff-O-Meter final score: 10/10

Jefferson Bert’s personal author message
While this movie is probably not the greatest to watch if you have coulrophobia, I find that it was a great one to kick off the Halloween section of my movie reviews.
This movie has just the right amount of violence and gore to fit the season.
Generally speaking, I thought I would have a much harder time finding a movie to watch that was associated with Halloween because I believe that there aren’t as many good Halloween movies as there are good Christmas movies.
The fact is that the holidays are upon us, and actually, at the time of this writing, I have my Christmas tree up.
This should show everyone how committed I am to being festive around the holidays, as I have my tree up in the month leading up to Halloween.
Once I got it up, I realized that I could not settle on watching any normal movie tonight. It had to be one associated with the holidays.
I actually have quite a few more Halloween movies to review in the coming days.
I find that this movie really set the stage for what should be a great few months of holiday-themed reviews!
If you’re a fan of bloody violence and overall terror, this movie is definitely recommended!
Happy holidays, everyone!
