The Night Before Halloween (TV Movie 2016)

The Night Before Halloween: Directed by Sheldon Wilson. With Bailee Madison, Justin Kelly, Jahmil French, Kiana Madeira. On the night before Halloween, seventeen year-old Megan and her group of friends are conned into taking part in a prank that accidentally lands their friend Beth in a coma. What Megan and the others don’t realize is that their new friend Kyle was intentionally trying to rid himself of the Curse of the Carver: a curse that kills you on the night before Halloween unless you can trick someone into killing another person. One year later, Megan and her friends are brought back together and must fight for their lives against the Curse of the Carver.

“Sweet Girl consists of several core film ideas that have been executed better in the past (namely the Jason Bourne series, however the dark aesthetic to the film was underpinned well by the understandable emotion felt by the two main characters. Jason Momoa and Isabela Merced performed well throughout despite a slightly under-written script. Did I enjoy this film? Yes, I believe so. Do I walk away from it with a lasting memory? Not so much. If you are keen on action, try Sweet Girl. But if you are seeking a highly advanced, memorable thriller film, come back to it later.”
