Jack'O

[Gabriel Knight]

Hi everyone! I'm a big fan of the site, and with my dad we used to watch some reeeally old and BAD movies on TV. Love the reviews and mostly when it's a movie that i already saw (can't believe you gave 3 slimes to Army of Dakness - it's the best bad movie ever!!!!!)

There is one film than doesn't show up in the list and wanted to share it with you: it's called Jack'O, directed by Steve Latshaw in 1995. It's about a wizard who, long time ago, gets killed and then comes back to seek revenge to the descendants of his murderer. He chooses the form of a man with a pumpkin instead of head, and weilds a scythe.


I saw it with all my friends when i was a kid in 1996, and we all remember how funny it was. 15 years later i managed to get a copy and we laughed like hell watching it again.
The effects are extremely bad, the acting is the horror in the film, the plot... ugh... and there is random gratuitous breast shots!
Yet, it's funny how the basics of the horror movies are there: girl escaping and twisting her anckle, cool boyfriend who only wants sex get chopped off, a million of deaths but nobody seems to give a damn about it, etc. I mean, if you watch things like "Scream" or similar, you won't find many differences. Well, except for a dude with a pumpkin instead of head.

I would make a review myself but my english sucks!

Looks like an enjoyable fun little horror flick.  Although, the best part is the trailer and hearing the deep voiced narrator say the word "Jack-O".

This is one of my absolute favorite Horror movies, even though there really isn't anything scary about it.  It's just pure Halloween fun.

Never watched this one, but I can remember seeing it on the shelf years ago and being almost curious enough to rent it. Maybe I should see if I can find a copy.

Of course, the title still brings the same image to mind that it did in the 90s:

This movie actually popped into my head while I was at work today.  So eerie that there's a thread about it...  Never saw it, but I think I may have just bumped it up a little on my priority list.
