Carved

Dont recommend. Skip this, do michael myers stuff, this is not a silly haha but kind of a off brand horror halloween night and meaningless killing. I wasnt attached to anyone, they gave us 15 mins of etting to know people then them being chased for the rest with everyone being weak, a druggy corn seller guy with a weak brain. A main character cool girl with her little brother. Kind of gross tentacles from the pumpkin in moments.. This would be fine as a backround movie, and maybe that is why it still has a slightly slow pace feeling. Interesting villain not sure how you would get a strong tentacle monster, other than how they attempted.

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.

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.

It's 1993 Halloween. Cedar Creek Pioneer Village is a historical re-enactment theme park in Maine. The locals have already survived a nuclear accident. Now they have to battle a rampaging mutant pumpkin.

This is Hulu doing a bit of horror camp. The camp isn't actually funny. It's the kind of movie that has Chris Elliott doing a weird character that doesn't generate any laughs. There are a couple of moments where one can see the attempt at comedy. None of them pan out. Also, it's a weak horror with a CGI pumpkin monster that don't always look good. The escape from the barn is almost thrilling. It's the best section until the kid loses the keys into the vent. The annoying kid is one of my least favorite horror tropes. This one kills any chance for enjoyment.

I love all types of horror movies, scary movies, monster movies, thrillers, etc. I even love and appreciate low budget and campy attempts. I appreciate them bc you can tell the work, thought and love they put into it.. None of that for this. It was a mess. Bad writing. Horrible premise and story line.. and a big thing here: if you can't find a decent kid actor to play the big role in the film, than cut the damn role!! I'm really sorry, but I hope he stays in school. I can't believe that no one on crew or set mentioned that they should make a change. And he shouldn't feel too bad bc the rest of the cast was weak. Especially the one who played the older sister and the boyfriend. Just a real #%*! Cake.

I would have given 0-1 but there were some great slasher kills in this flick. Not all kills were great, or even good. But there is a stretch in the act that has some good kill.

Do yourself a favor and find something else. I watched it so you don't have to.
