Absolutely the worst movie.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I thought I would just comment about movies within movie. I always appreciate when there are scenes where other movies are given tributes via a shot at a TV or a big screen theater showing of a movie.In this case the movie tribute shown was The Coven. However, im not sure of its existence, so im asking other movie reviewers here to identify it as being real or not and listing the IMDb link.On this site there are a couple tiles of The Coven. However, the oldest one dates back to only 2002. The film shown during Jack-O looks a bit older than 2002 or at least made to look that way.So if anyone can identify The Coven in Jack-O (year, IMDb link), that would be some good IMDb sleuthing skills.

Not as bad as anticipated, but has plenty of room to become even a good B-movie. Low budget horror sometimes fools you and it becomes so bad its good. Not meaning to sound too familiar...a group of beer swilling teens decide to mess around in a local cemetery only to unleash a ghoul wearing a big pumpkin on his head. Its Jack-O(Patrick Moran), the incarnation of a murdered farmer seeking revenge for the slaying of his ancestors. This scythe wielding psycho lives up to his legend; but how do you stop him after he starts his people-reaping spree? Pretty campy with typical low cost and minimum effort special effects; but the score by Jeff Walton brings some attitude. Hey, its a hoot! The cast includes: Linnea Quigley, Rebecca Wicks, Gary Doles, Ryan Latshaw, Brinke Stevens, an appealing Catherine Walsh plus posthumous cameos by John Carradine and Cameron Mitchell.

Am I being sacrilegious for watching such an awful movie on Easter weekend? This weekend is used to reflect and celebrate the joys of our lives with the spirit of rebirth. And believe me, this movie couldn't have killed that spirit more. To save you from being bored silly with the plot, let's just go straight to the check list:-Awful plot. Check! The story layout appeals to a Friday night flick fan but has about as much emotional depth as dinner theatre. The film is disastrously long and dull. About 30% of the film is designated to Sean Kelly's dream sequences (don't ask), 25% to introducing people who have no effect on the plot, 15% to Sean's dad's haunted mansion, 10% to trick-or-treating with kids no one knows who the heck they are, another 10% to some moron, his girlfriend, and his Harley, and a remaining grand total of 5% to Jack-o. The remaining 5% is reserved for shots of nudity, storm clouds, and people talking about food. -Totally non-frightening antagonist. Check! I've screamed more in an episode of Murphy Brown than this. Jack-o himself is about as lame as a duck with one leg in front of a pack of hungry wolves. He kills a few but there are absolutely no tense and heart racing chase sequences, no real climax. His overall presence lacks fright and bite, something that Freddy Krueger in "Elm Street", Jason Vorhees in "Friday the 13th", and Ben Affleck in "Gigli" all achieved. -Awful F/X. Check! Normally in a standard slasher flick, a victim to the creature's blade will be shown being gutted in all it's bloody, disgusting glory. But of course we don't see this happen. That would require effort, something the crew of this film wern't ready to commit. However, they were generous enough to buy fire crackers and glue them to a crucifix and set it alight. Somebody call the KKK. This self-lighting cross idea could really takeoff.-Awful acting. Check! The boy who plays Sean Kelly is horrendous. At times, it seems like the director slipped him a sleeping pill just before shooting. This kid just mumbles out his lines with no care in the world. The director obviously could not give a damn whether the boy's acting was up to any kind of par. Ironically, the young actor is the directors son! That's nepotism is it's purest form, folks!-Obligatory shower girl. Check! I think no further comment is necessary.-Various other scenes of obligatory nudity. Check! (see above)All in all, Jack-o deserves a few points for making such a disaster and fooling some poor film company into distributing it. Other than that, this film deserves to be dead and buried, much like Jack-o himself.

I had known Brad Linaweaver at Florida State U in the early 70's when he was an inspiring, inventive writer who I thought was headed for greater glory.And that is why I rented this video. Well, well, well, the time has not been kind to Mr Linaweaver. I suppose the pressures of making a living makes higher aspirations expendable. Another flower whose bloom has come and gone un-noticed in the summer breeze. Amen. There is nothing more to say. And nothing more to add. A sad epitaph to a once blossoming career as stated above. But it is the price one pays for chasing shadows without a firm foundation or goals for oneself in life. Because this movie has no goal, no purpose, and I kept telling myself, what happened to Brad's creativity, his once shining genius? Gone, gone, years of neglect has deteriorated his once shining mind.
