Aroview: A Halloween-set black comedy about a nine-year-old boy who inadvertently teams up with a masked psychopath on his round of trick-or-treating.

An unusually bloody Halloween transpires, until the penny drops once the violence starts getting closer to home. Despite the great premise, and a couple of amusing set pieces, this marks a slightly underwhelming comeback from the director of 70s cult classics, BLUE SUNSHINE and SQUIRM.
