All Hallows' Eve 2 (2015) Online

Alone on Halloween, a young woman finds a mysterious VHS tape on her doorstep-a tape that shows a series of gruesome and ghastly tales that appear to be all too real. But these terrifying glimpses of damned souls are not the only horrors that stalk her. A sinister, pumpkin-faced killer is using the videotape as a portal into our reality; and if he makes it through, this twisted trickster seeks only one "treat": blood.

A different version of Mr. Tricker's Treat (2011) can be seen in the film. It features an alternate cut of the ending done by the producers of the anthology.

The address of the house in the opening scene is 237, a possible nod to the infamous "room 237" from "The Shining"

For sure, it could be said this entry lacks that which made the first something more special. Is it using old shorts from YouTube? Maybe. Is it the lack of a proper foreground story? Probably.

But nonetheless, it's a fine combination of horror shorts - obviously some lesser than others but that's a very subjective opinion. None of the shorts are overly gory and the ones which stand out stand out VERY well and it's quite clear why they should be featured in this movie. The cinematography and acting is surprisingly solid throughout all shorts and the effects aren't too shabby either.

All in all, it's not a terrible waste of an hour and thirty minutes of your life - but I wouldn't plan a movie night around it.

A collection of eight independently-produced Halloween-themed short films, with an overarching plot that these were left as a VHS tape on a young female horror fan's doorstep by a masked, knife-wielding stranger.

Most of the stories are extremely short, in the 5-10 minute range, the longest being about 17 minutes. They often have little plot, rather being merely campfire-style, mysterious horrific occurrences with no real beginning, climax, or resolution.

They are all, nevertheless, rather original, well-produced, and effectively gripping. The acting and effects are all quite satisfying and convincing. A couple even push the grim envelope, even by today's standards. One story takes the unusual route of being entirely in Spanish (with subtitles), whose inclusion in a primarily English-language movie was, I felt, an admirable risk.

The only true weak point for me was the very end, where the framing plot was wrapped up a little too simply.

Each short story, along with the framing plot, were independently produced by different writers, directors, and crews, and each one's credits are shown in sequence at the movie's end.

I enjoyed the first film in this series. It was a short, tight three story anthology filled with gore and fright, and were all connected together by the horrifying Art the clown, and each story had a beginning and an ending. The end of the first movie also ended unlike most modern horror films, in the fact that it reminded us that this is a HORROR film and that EVIL is supposed to win. Then they came out with this "sequel", which to me, is only one in name. Absent is Art the clown, replaced by a pumpkin headed entity who until the end of the movie, is just kind of there and rarely seen. In the first movie, there was actually a getting to know the three main characters watching the VHS tape. In this sequel, we really have no connection to the woman watching the tape. Like the pumpkin headed entity, she's also just kind of there This sequel is also MUCH longer than the first movie, and to me, seemed like it wanted to be an "ABC's Of Death" clone with numerous stories being told, each of varying length. Not many of them were able to keep my interest, although there were a few I did like. My favorite being a tale of a monster under a little boys bed All in all, I don't think this was a needed sequel. If it had stuck to its predecessors formula, it would have been much better

Firstly, the reviewer who rated 1 star should be ashamed of themselves, that's absolutely ridiculous, and should be deleted. He seems to suggest that it's no good because he wasn't scared out of his mind, why does that make a good film good, a mild scare is fine for me thanks very much!

I tuned in expecting be disappointed within minutes at the poor quality, storyline/ whatever, as with all other similar looking movies, but, something kept me going and I was soon hooked. I'm really difficult to please & don't really like 'small' films, I think I've been 'damaged' by big budget special effects & expect too much now, but this movie manages to pull it off, or should I say movies, as they're all totally indie films, sewn together with a VHS plot device.

They're all short & to the point, so before you've even a chance of being bored you're on to the next one, and pretty much everyone leaves you wanting more.

Only pass for me was 'Masochist' with the kids at the fairground.

Stand out was the Spanish one at the end - Wow! Amazing feel & production values, this team is Hollywood ready, expect more great things from them.

I liked this so much, I'm gonna watch again - unheard of ;-)

My quick rating - 4,7/10. Another horror flick in the anthology format. If you are unfamiliar, these are short stories bundled together into one film, usually bound by an underlying central theme. This one, as the first one was (and also the "VHS" movies) is centered around a mysterious videotape appearing and the contents of it. That plot is nothing more then fodder to bring the stories on. This one had a few good shorts, some average, and the rest garbage. Pretty typical of anthology flicks. Not going to break them all down, that will be up to you but the first "All Hallows Eve" was definitely better and also had a much creepier encompassing story to it. Make sure on this Halloween to save some trick or treat candy for sweet tooth ;)

I wish there had been a real review of this movie out there before I paid money to rent this.

There was absolutely nothing about this movie that approached frightening. possibly a child under 8 years of age would be scared.

Please do not waste your money on this. It is not clever, scary, concise, funny or any other adjective you may want out of a horror flick. It borders on theft. I had only one thought when it was over: how do I get my money back?

Be warned. Do not waste your time. Rent some older movie instead, you will be more startled by a good movie which you have already seen.

It started out as a copy of the movie V/H/S. Each story gets less interesting and goes more to thriller. The first 2 stories got the most horror but because of the time factor are poorly explained.

Overall problem is build up takes to long.

Scenes are to short and with out real reason.Less would have been better I think.

It's a B-flick anthology horror.Not a very good one. Can't remember if the first one was like this?.

However.I don't recommend this.

A bit of a boring attempt.

Anthology films are few and far between recently. This project uses the structure as a way of showcasing nine often very short vignettes independently created by a different team and shown as a collection of unsavoury tales collected on a videotape. The tape falls into the hands, or rather is left at the door, of a young woman (Andrea Monia). The purpose of the videotape forms the enveloping story-line.

I won't go into details about the instalments, because their originality is very satisfying and it would be a shame to spoil that. Sometimes, instead of any detailed story, they are simply moments, like in a dream, of surreal occurrences which are nevertheless detailed and grounded enough to satisfy on their own merits. There are moments that had me turning away due to the graphic special effects, but this is far from drenched in gore. Rather, each weird tale builds up an ambience that is deliberately uneven and unpredictable.

This is a sequel to the original 'All Hallows' Eve' (2013), which was directed and produced by a different team. According to some reviews, the original was superior to this. This excites me, because I haven't seen it, and for the most part, I found this refreshingly original and generally well made.

ALL HALLOWS' EVE: THE REAPING is a sequel to the first movie and another horror anthology made on a tiny indie budget. This one looks a bit slicker than some and was obviously made as a homage to the classic cinema of the 1980s. There are some decent physical props and imagery, but the cliched plotting lets this down and it's fair to say that not a single story stands out.

This is another anthology with the shortest segment running about 4 minutes. The first two segments (second one was my favorite) deal with Halloween while the rest do not. I found 2-3 segments enjoyable and the rest was meh. Perhaps the most amazing aspect of the film was the woman had a working VCR attached to her TV set and not in a closet.

I have never seen a pumpkin carved that easy, quickly, and precise with a large knife.

Guide" F-bomb. No sex or nudity

I was disappointed. None of the vignettes were very scary, and I think it was because they were too short to build up any real suspense or sense of dread that was so well used in the first film.

The pumpkin head guy wasn't scary or menacing at all, unfortunately. And the ending was a cheap rip-off from the first film.

It just fell totally flat, so I am surprised that it got good reviews.

I watched the first installment of this series a couple of years ago. It was not that bad. In fact, it was kinda' creepy because the antagonist was a clown...and I HATE clowns.

Part 2 did not change from its predecessor. A woman finds a VHS Tape (of all things) on her doorstep, after she has noticed some goon standing outside her apartment holding a knife in one hand and wearing a REAL BAD pumpkin mask. She (of course) plops it into her tape machine and is treated to some short stories--most of them bad. However, as in the first installment, it seems Pumpkin Man is trying to come through her television.

Anyone who saw the original could tell it was cheaply made, BUT at least it tried to entertain. Part 2 was completely unoriginal, non- scary, and just an overall mess. If the people involved with this want to have another installment, I suggest they actually sit down and try to write a better script AND leave a "CD" on the doorstep. I don't know of anyone who still has a VHS player.

Rated R for violence.

All Hallows Eve 2 is strange bag of items mixed into one movie, which for me kind of falls short of what it could be.

The main elephant in the room here is yes the clown is missing in this one, and sadly there is no big act at the end of the movie. It's also missing a slasher feel to this film.

That's the problem with the film, the clown is foreshadowed and foreshadowed in the original and then it leads to the main act at the end. With this sequel it just a bunch of short stories and then ends abruptly.

Apparently some of these are youtube videos? Which to me is fine, gives them a higher platform to be on.

The short stories range for slow (VERY SLOW) burners to out right gory within the first 5 minutes. It does a good range of stories for everyone, but it sadly masters at none.

Still a solid a watch, just don't expect a ridiculous yet awesome ending like the first one.

Anthology can be a trick medium, you have many short stories told in such limited amount of time and with different direction. This formal is prone to consistency issue throughout, which is what happens to this particular anthology. The quality of each one is also varied, depending on the runtime as well as underlying concept, it can feel jarring and detached, especially on the longer less interesting ones.

This is a string of stories made in one theme, a woman watching a mysterious VHS of many strange occurrences. The similarity is vague, some stories might just end abruptly or simply too bizarre, creating a messy undertone. A couple of them even drag for a bit without too much pay off, this not only creates dull moments, it also hampers the pace for the other tales that follow.

At best it's a varied degree of successful short clips of campfire story. They don't have much depth in terms of narrative as many of them end in five or ten minutes, and the shocking revelations might not be satisfying. Others collection of short stories have presented nifty twists in the same amount of time, and while there is decent use of practical effect here, it's not the same level of dread.

The overall theme and quality displayed are not refined enough for more than average short bursts of thrill.

Unlike the first film in the franchise, 'All Hallows Eve 2' gives us more bang for our buck.

If you're going to limit your anthology film to just three short stories, you better make sure they're both entertaining and fun. Otherwise, you should take the approach most anthology films take, and that's throwing in as many short films as possible. Because eventually, someone is going to hit on something special, to make up for the several bad short films that infest this type of horror film. 'All Hallows Eve 2' does have a few fairly solid, entertaining short films. My personal favorite being 'Descent.' Solid little paranoia short about a woman trapped in an elevator with a possible serial killer.

Most of the stories lack gore, and just about everything required to keep people entertained on Halloween. Luckily, each story just flies by, leaving you hoping for the next gem - You just aren't going to find it.

Random Ramblings of a Madman: We shouldn't be seeing a third film in this franchise until next year, around Halloween, which is probably the best story of all. Written/Directed by @Krackoon.

I didn't think the last movie was that great but it decent.

I did not think it would have another sequel this quick.

Unlike the last one, which only had 3 stories

There's have a few and I found them far to short to enjoy But I did the Halloween theme to some of them.

The first one was about mum and son, carving a pumpkin But the pumping is evil in w way

More wearied then scary. OK opener but found it too kiddies Which was only about 5 mins max

I don't if got order wrong but the next story I can remember is Trick r treaters

I really liked that but again found to kiddies not scary however it was fun watch

Another story was about to guys going some where to feed something in the woods but we don't see anything

I did not get that one at all.

Another story Was about young kids going to a carnival and kill people in games , this is only really bloody story out the lot and about 3 min long

Next story Was about boy who scared of the monster under the bed , this was longest Stories of the lot, yet I found dull and boring and very predicable

The last one , I had already seen on you tube months ago And man who chatting to his girlfriend online and to get haunted by his ex dead girlfriend.

Which was the only really decent creepy one.
