Halloween Night (2009)

College janitor Creepy Harold makes a scarecrow in his yard and is then jumped by middle aged bullies.  The bullies call him a loser, which is ironic since middle aged men beating someone up for being weird is the epitome of being a loser.  

The bullies decide to throw a Halloween costume party and invite sorority girls.  One guys says they can have the party at his house because his parents aren’t home. These guys are way too old to be partying with college students or living with their parents.  In fact based on the birth year on the license one of the bullies dropped when he beat up Harold,  the guy is 52 years old. Jesus! Stop beating people up, stop hanging out with college girls, and move out of your parents homes!

The description for the movie said a mistreated student gets revenge at a college party. But the person mistreated is Harold, who is  invited to the party by one of the college girls. What is it with people inviting someone to another persons party? 

Harold rebuilds his scarecrow, brings it to life and invites his straw friend to accompany him to the party.  The college girls exclaim that the party is in full swing when they see the house... .the house that looks like your grandmother decorated it for Halloween. The house where there is no sign that there is a party inside.  The house that is so quiet your could sit on the front porch and read.

There isn’t one likable male character in this film. You’ve got Harold, who’s a damaged individual and then you’ve got the bullies who peaked in high school, if they ever peaked at all. If they were college age, you’d think they were just emotionally immature and maybe they’ll grow up once they get into the real world.  But these guys are way too old to be doing this crap. And while Harold is creepy, so are the bullies, especially when interacting with women. And what is wrong with Trixie that she dated the 52 year old? Yikes!

This is a Polonia Brothers film. If you’ve seen one of their films, you know what you’re getting. If you haven’t seen one of their films, expect something that looks like it was shot by your Uncle, with an equivalent level of acting.  It’s a super low budget movie with amateur effects and is difficult to watch.  You have to give them credit because they are prolific independent movie makers. That pretty much sums up the Polonia films - A for effort and D for execution. Yet I’m kind of fascinated by the movies, even though they are horrible

The guy whose parents will kill him if they find
out he had a party while they were away.
