Caesar and Otto's Paranormal Halloween (2015/Wild Eye Releasing/MVD DVD)


Picture: B- Sound: B- Extras: C Film: C-



Dave Campfield's Paranormal Halloween (2015) is a micro budgeted spoof on modern horror films in the same vein as the Scary Movie films. Parodying everything from John Carpenter's Halloween to Kubrick's The Shining, The Exorcist, Poltergeist, Sinister and of course Paranormal Activity, the film features a cast of unknowns including Dave Campfield himself, Paul Chomicki, Deron Miller, Debbie Rochon, Felissa Rose and Vernon Wells to name a few.


Obviously wanting to resemble an '80s comedy, some of the jokes work and some don't but all in all, I found it more enjoyable than I expected to. However, the filmmaking is amateur at times with scenes that have uneven lighting, bad blocking, and shots that don't cut together well.


The story pits Half brothers Caesar and Otto who barely escape the clutches of a Michael Myers-esque killer and experience some paranormal acts while house sitting a home for the Governor of California's house. All of the half brothers compete for a love of a Gardener, deal with their insane Father, and experience ghastly visions and possessions.


Presented in standard definition with an anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio of 1.77:1 and a lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 track. Special features include Director's Commentary, Cast and Crew Commentary, Blooper Reel, Son of Piggyzilla trilogy, Bonus Shorts and Videos and trailers.
