Notes
My quick rating - 3.5/10. The film centers on Tim (Matt Sampere), who plans a quiet Halloween with his mother, Linda Garner (played by Monique Parent), but is soon swept into his friends’ chaotic prank-filled antics. What could have been an enjoyable Halloween hangout devolves into an unfocused mess as Tim is roped into an aimless series of pranks and bizarre encounters. Any attempt at a plot is lost in a sea of inconsistencies, and it’s hard to tell exactly what this flick is trying to be. The acting is lackluster at best, with even seasoned actors like Monique Parent seeming out of place. Sampere, who also seems to be at the heart of the production, may be aiming for a personal project, but without separation from every aspect of the film, the result feels more like an indulgence than a meaningful performance. It’s hard to root for Tim or connect with his friends, who come off as more obnoxious than mischievous, leaving any emotional stakes at zero. One interesting aspect was the reference to the Aos Sí, an ancient Celtic deity. Points for creativity on that front, though the connection to Halloween feels questionable, especially when the folklore itself is loosely addressed amidst the story's many gaps. The idea of using ancient mythology as a horror element could have been intriguing if it had been developed or tied into the storyline effectively. Instead, the folklore feels shoehorned in, just another piece in a film where nothing quite fits. Scares are minimal, with special effects that lack the "special" entirely. From cheesy masks to uninspired scenes, the supposed "horror" elements fail to create any atmosphere, and the attempts at suspense fizzle out. Ultimately, Creeping Death is an ambitious misfire—a Halloween horror flick that loses sight of its intentions and fails to deliver on scares, story, or spectacle. Perhaps in a future project, with some distance from every role, Sampere could bring something stronger to the screen. If you’re in it for the Halloween vibes, you might find some charm in thie movies attempt, but don’t expect any real chills.
