blknozla Spoilers ahead people so stop right here if you're worried about them.Now with that out of the way I'll make this brief, is this a good movie? Well no not really but it is well acted compared to most B movies and it has promise. The crazy rampage guy from Crocodile plays another crazy old guy and is the highlight of this film, he even tries to force some plot into this thing.Like I said above it had promise, it's slow to the finish and some of the characters are annoying but it still had some promise. The big problem and I mean big is the ending. I'm sorry but either someone wrote themselves into a corner or had a very bad idea from the start. I'm still not 100% sure who the killer was, was it all in Jonathan's head? Well that would've made sense, that would've made the old man's part more logical and hell it would've made the entire movie more powerful; especially when the love interest dies.Yet sadly no from what I can tell it wasn't in his head, well not really. No I'm sad to report that the killer was in fact the bald idiot who got himself killed in the first 10 minutes. That's right the dead idiot boyfriend escapes hell and takes over the leads body, and hold on here, it's not even in the cool Nightmare on Elm Street 2 kind of way. The ending ruins a otherwise decent movie and build up.
P_Kohler06 The entirety of this movie should be burned. Whoever had the audacity to write and direct this should be drawn and quartered. It's just one more to add to a LONG list of horror movies that utterly lack any redeeming qualities. The plot was filled with holes and it was utterly routine and lacking in any variety. It had the oh so typical elements "stupid college aged kids" "The creepy Old Guy" a pathetic main character that was that was either supposed to be haunted or crazy (nothing in the movie pointed directly at either)This movie deserves the worst possible rating that a movie could get. Even with a low budget they could have at least not made it as dry as it was. I sat through this movie just wishing it would get over.
TrickTaylor The Pumpkin Carver is yet another one of the recent attempts to apply the tried and true slasher formula. And as so many do, this movie fails to deliver. The plot is plain stupid as are most of the stock characters. You have the fragile hero (whiney is more like it), the drugged out party dudes (annoying as hell), and the token asshole jock type. These are the party-people, and yes, they are destined to get killed.The movie would have us believe that some evil pumpkin carver is killing kids at a Halloween party.....in a pumpkin patch! Actually, the movie can't find a plausible reason why this thing is killing kids. The premise is very confused and ultimately hurts the movie. The ending is plain awful....I still don't know what really happened.The kills were low budget all the way, which is unfortunate given the polished look of the film in general. Really not an ounce of clever to be found here. And as one reviewer has pointed out, no nudity despite saying otherwise on the box.One bright spot was Minka Kelly, a pouty lipped poor man's Jessica Alba. She was stunning and I anticipate seeing a lot more of her. Overall, I say avoid the Pumpkin Carver.
Kashmirgrey "Low budget" is not a valid excuse for a lousy film. Some great films have been products of extremely low budgets. This is not one of them.Quick plot summary: Halloween night, sister's boyfriend pretends he's a masked murderer. Sister doesn't get the joke and screams for help. Young brother arrives with blade in hand and viciously attacks assailant. Shoot forward one year, sister and brother are moving to a new town and attend a locals' Halloween party on a pumpkin farm. As the evening progresses, so does the body count.The villain's mask in this film is above average in the grotesque category and was pretty effective. Amy Weber and Minka Kelly are gorgeous. A couple of interesting plot twists.Now for the bad: 4000 plot holes! Albeit, the masked-serial murderer has been (pardon the pun) done to death, but this film had potential to be a decent Halloween flick. Unfortunately, it is all presented in a choppy, careless manner that not even its gratuitous (and extremely brief) bare breast scene could assist in saving.Amy Weber and Minka Kelly are gorgeous, though.
