YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Toronto85 The film begins with our main character Michael at five years old witnessing his father killing his mother on Halloween and then committing suicide. Flash forward to present day (1999), and we see Michael and a group of his friends heading out a spooky house his grandmother owns to celebrate the holiday. Now if you've seen the original film "The Fear", you'd remember that the wooden life-sized dummy Morty used people's fears against them to kill. Well Morty is back and up to his old tricks. He takes the fears of the group and uses those fears to kill them off in "creative" ways.I like this sequel much more than the original because it isn't as dark and depressing and we actually see more of Morty stalking the group. I like the plot line of Michael's father being inside of the Morty dummy as well. And this movie takes the Halloween tagline and milks it for all it's worth. For example, the group decides to dress up in costumes that represent their fears. One of them is afraid of sharks, so he dresses up as a shark. Another is scared of blood, so she dresses in all red. Oh and Morty looks way creepier in this film then the first one. And he can talk!Overall, The Fear: Halloween Night is not a masterpiece but it is a better watch then the first film. It definitely has its slow parts through the fast half, but I like the Halloween theme to it and it is creative at times with regards to the character's deaths.6/10

obe-one Pretty good psychological thriller if you ask me.Not as good as the first, [for one you can see Morty's eyes blink in one scene] and the name "Morty" has got to be the dumbest name for a "monster".A decent ending also sold me on this movie. If you liked the first one, you should like this one.

BlackMonk This movie was crap with a capital "C." The opening scene showed promise. But that "promise" was broken shortly after the viewer learns where the plot is going.And the wooden statue, Morty, who was rather creepy in the original film, looks plain goofy in this one. It was so obviously just a guy in a cheap plastic costume. (And by the way, who else thinks "Morty" is one of the most un-scary names on planet earth? It ranks right up there with "Jimmy" or "Fred" when it comes to horror value. Or why not just name the wooden statute Henry-freakin'-Kissinger. "Run, it's Dr. Kissinger!" That'd be about as scary as "Morty.)And then there's a scene where the "hero" hits his father's tombstone with---"a sledgehammer?" you might guess--"a two-by-four?" someone might venture. No, he angrily beats his father's tombstone with a twig---a freakin' twig. But worse than that, once the characters walk away, the tombstone actually, and inexplicably, bleeds. Oh brother!There's also a Native American guy who lives with the main character's grandparents, but apparently, does nothing except Morty-maintenance. He perpetuates creepy Morty-legends, warns those who scoff, and even fixes Morty's arm when it becomes damaged during a childish prank. But for all his respect for and tenderness toward Morty, does Morty give a rat's hairy behind? No.The movie drags on, and eventually several people die in ways that correspond to their worst fears (sort of). This film is a real yawner. Don't rent it.

Mike-842 Direct-to-video sequel to 1995 original finds a group of friends visiting a cabin on Halloween Night (as indicated by the title) and getting stalked by a 20's puppet. Characters are awfully boring for the most part, but it gets better as it goes along, thanks to Betsy Palmer's and John Fedele's (as Morty the puppet) campy performances.**1/2
