Carved: Vingança de Halloween

This is definitely a movie aimed at the 18-22 age range I'd say. Goofy, kinda tries to identify as a stoner movie but doesn't go all the way in that regard. If you got nothing to watch one night and might not want to take a real serious watch. It's good enough for that. This is going to be no ones favorite movie and I highly doubt anyone watches it twice. I give it a passing grade though...

Look, this isn't the best movie out there obviously. However, if you're like me and basically watch anything horror related you can find under the sun. Then you've surely seen MUCH worse films than this. This is a pure B film straight up. Hm, maybe C? No? I would watch as sequel if one was made.

This is a mostly comedy film as the horror is very childlike. Even the scenes that should seem serious are not filed with tension due to the comedy. I wouldn't go as far to say it's kid friendly as in under 10 but its close. The shotgun scene might be a bit much for young kids just because of the subject matter not really the gore or anything.

I do think the 2nd half was much better. This film did have potential though. I like atmosphere in films especially horror films. I can never put my finger on what exactly it is but this movie also had a strange atmosphere to it.

Matty Cardaropole I think carried the comedy aspect of the film. I think it was a mistake to have him play a lesser role in the first half. Even if they did have a somewhat funny reason for it.

Corey fogelmanis (cheekbones). Everytime that guy turned his head I am reminded of Aaron Carter lol.

To finish. Not the best film in the world. Not the worst. I struggled to decide a 5 or 6. I've seen some TERRIBLE films so anything that didn't bore me to death I tend to feel deserves a 5 or better.

Look, this is a great throwback to camp. I think people were expecting some deep, thought provoking dialogue, based on the reviews. What this is, is a homage to some the the best worst horror movies. Think, Killer Clowns from Outer Space, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, The Blob, CHUD! I went into this figuring it would be a "B Movie", and it did NOT disappoint. Everyone thinks they're a critica. This movie isn't for everyone, especially if you take yourself way too serious and lack imagination or wonder. If you want some good, old fashioned B cinema, this will satisfy your cravings. If not, try something like Evil Dead.

I'll preface this by saying floral apocalypse fiction is my favourite science fiction, and comedy horror is a favourite genre of mine.

I adored this movie, there were obvious themes of anthropogenic environmental devastation, which was definitely blooming by the early 90s. We were left wondering who the real villain was after all, a killer pumpkin, or a species whose every holiday revolves around killing plants or animals (Halloween: pumpkins, Christmas: pine trees, Thanksgiving: turkeys). We are a species who cannot subsist without killing, and this movie was a fun and delightfully gruesome commentary on that.

Characters were developed as thoroughly as a 1.5hr movie had time for. A few fresh takes on the interactions between main characters.

Really enjoyable comedy horror 😊

A group of people find themselves trapped at the Cedar Park historical reenactment village on Halloween after a mutant pumpkin springs to life and goes on a bloody rampage.

Had I noticed that D. J. Qualls was in Carved, I might have passed on it, but I'm glad I didn't: after a rather bumpy start, the film eventually kicks into gear when the killer squash goes on the hunt, making people pay for taking a knife to its fellow pumpkins - and the rest of the film is a delightfully daft and surprisingly gory treat. Hell, there's even a reasonable amount of tension as the handful of survivors put into action an ingenious plan involving walkie talkies.

The acting is passable for this kind of nonsense (even Qualls), writer director Justin Harding injects just the right amount of humour, and the special effects - a mix of CGI and practical - are fairly impressive, the pumpkin scuttling along on its tendrils, which it also uses to impale and dismember its victims.

I rate Carved 6.5/10, rounded up to 7 for IMDb.

Is this great? No.

Is it worth the low rating it has? Also, no!

The humor is ok, nothing great. There are a few times a chuckled a little, but nothing noteworthy. The special effects are ok for what this movie is. Cmon it was made for hulu, it isn't going to be an A24 movie. It is a decently fun popcorn creature feature with slasher elements.

The cast is decent, it was nice seeing DJ Qualls again, and he puts in a solid performance. I didn't much care for the main girl, but it is what it is. It has some fun kills and at the end of the day it is a movie about a killer pumpkin. What were you expecting?!
