The Legend of Halloween Jack

Doesn't make a lot of sense, way too many boring back and forth speaking scenes with montone voices and uninteresting camera shots. Terrible pacing and really odd slow motion sections that look like theyre lagging.

Can't wait for part 2.

Reminded me a lot of that film with other elements from Halloween, My Bloody Valentine and Nightmare on Elm Street thrown in. So hardly a thumbs up for originality but it did have a pretty good atmosphere and style. The best aspect of the movie is Jack himself. These slasher movies live or die on the killer and the scarecrow design of this one is very cool. At times you root for him because some of the characters are pretty annoying. 5/10

Despite a very formulaic plot the film succeeds in being a watchable and at times enjoyable romp through the usual slasher tropes. Halloween Jack looks great and the kills are very effectively executed. There is the occasional unexpected twist that helps break the predictability (mostly involving the psychotic mayor) and the ending is quite satisfying. Main appeal will be to fans of old school slasher movies.

Low budget, low quality, and a total waist of time. They should not have this in Redbox. Wish I could get my money back

The Legend of Halloween Jack is a British horror movie that tells the story of a serial killer who returns from the grave after being killed by vigilantes. Brought back as scarecrow.............for some reason, he sets about getting revenge.

Though the cinematography is strong enough, the lack of budget is demonstrated everywhere else. From the weak cast to the shoddy sfx it's a masterclass of amateur film making.

Though the killer looks okay his presence is ruined by cutaway/poor deaths and the fact we've seen that very same appearance before. Erm, why was he a scarecrow again?

The plot also is heavily recycled, there is very little in the way of originality here and though it's not the worst of its ilk that I've seen it's still a mess.

I've seen a fair few of Andrew Jones movies now and don't believe off the top of my head that I've seen a good one. This shows signs of competence, but only dashes.

The Good:

Script is better than you'd imagine

The Bad:

Opening credits are bafflingly irrelevant and poorly thought out

Laughable blood sfx

Crappy kills

CGI graves, really?

Moronic horror trope finale

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Blood packs are expensive

Sticking a pencil in a guys butthole isn't gay

Seeing a person in a halloween costume at a halloween party will cause mass panic
