Reviews:
“10/31 is a film that was made for horror fans by horror fans. It’s an entertaining and fast-moving anthology film, with the five separate parts actually coming together very well. It’s a film that pays loving homage to horror history and one that I think any horror fan will enjoy.” Horror Critic
“With only the fourth vignette not meeting the quality of the rest, 10/31 is near solid across the board. Again, this is the type of project that proves a little bit of heart with a steady stream of dedication can go a long way. Of all the horror I’ve seen lately, this is one of the strongest indie efforts.” The Movie Sleuth
“Overall 10/31 is rough around the cauldron but that doesn’t make it a bad movie by any means, because if you allow yourself to gloss over some of the flaws you will find a great little seasonal gem that is entertaining, perfect for any time viewing or your next Halloween gathering.” The Movie Waffler
“The first three stories are pretty fun in their own cheesy ways, while the final tales are rather uninspired and drab. Ranges from humorous to listless, but does all it can with a minuscule budget.” Splatter Critic
“Surprisingly for an anthology 10/31 doesn’t have any segments that are actually bad. A couple are less than great, but they’re still fun. It’s also good to see some non-directors get a chance to show they have the chops to do more in the future.” Voices from the Balcony
