All Hallows’ Eve

Set on Halloween night in contemporary times, the events unfold over a single perilous evening. The wrap-around framing links the three stories, intensifying the sense of creeping danger. The nocturnal, everyday settings become canvases for monstrous acts and sudden shocks.

All three segments unfold across a Halloween-night landscape that moves through a train station, a secluded countryside home, a dim gas station, and a remote road leading to a shed. These locations heighten tension as characters are isolated, pursued, or trapped within the horrors on screen. The settings connect the stories under a single night of fear.

🎃 Halloween Horror

Halloween imagery and a murderous clown anchor the film's tone of dread. Each segment escalates from suspense to graphic violence, exploiting viewers' expectations of a holiday tale turned nightmare. The anthology format magnifies fear by showing different faces of danger within one night.

🧭 Fragmented Narrative

The wrap-around frame and three distinct stories create a fractured storyline that challenges linear storytelling. The VHS tape links the tales while bending reality, making viewers question what is watching and what is happening. The structure heightens suspense as threads reveal themselves piece by piece.

💀 Violence & Misogyny

Graphic violence permeates the film, culminating in the third segment's brutal turning point. The depictions of abduction and mutilation underscore a brutal, gendered attack on female characters. The film uses these moments to provoke a reaction about fear, power, and the gaze of an audience.

🎥 Media & Surveillance

The VHS tape and the screen fuse the horror with media consumption. Watching becomes participating as Art breaches the boundary between screen and floor. The finale implies that terror can spill from the tape into real life, trapping viewers in the nightmare.
