The Legend of Halloween Jack

source: The Legend of Halloween Jack

For all of its story flaws the Halloween Jack villain is the real strength of the movie. He looks superb and takes no prisoners with his kills. The Halloween party massacre is a particular highlight. The back story of Jack being wronged by the town is also a different way to go with a slasher movie killer and I must say I was rooting for him to take out the odious characters like the mayor and cop. If the intention is to make us like the killer it definitely worked.

Cool looking cover, I picked this up in the DVD budget section whilst out shopping. Pity I didn't read the production credits on the back cover first, had I seen director's name Andrew Jones then I would have left well alone ,having had the misfortune to sit some of his other movies. It was filmed in South Wales, Britain, yet laughably - like some of his previous works - tries to pass itself off as American. Half the characters have British accents, the other half are failed attempts by bad actors trying to be American. As for the rest of the film it's simply awful. Rubbish killer. Very little gore. Bad acting. Bad script. The only good thing here are random clips from various old horror movies (White Zombie, NOTLD, Carnival of Souls, etc), but what purpose they serve I dont know. The worst film that I have seen with the word Halloween in it's title by a long shot, my advice is give it a miss!

I thought it was a cool twist, since the characters are English. The plot was a little strange and thought the dialogue a little confusing. Ironically though, I really really loved the band and am wondering who they are!!

Bought this film today and watched it, waste of money and time watching it! If you want a horror don't bother with this, the acting is terrible! The killings are so unrealistic.

The premise is the same as I Know What You Did Last Summer but rather than the recipients of revenge being pretty teens we get some old dudes who aren't as pretty and should know better! Its obvious this was made for a fraction of that budget but what it lacks in the budget department it makes up for it in the fun department. Some of the dialogue is hilarious (intentionally I assume) and the killer Halloween Jack loves dishing out the vengeance particularly when he tears through a whole bunch of partygoers. I can see why some folks would hate this as it is cheap and unoriginal in its plotting but I found a lot to enjoy here. Although I did roll my eyes at the obvious set up for a sequel. Do any movies these days just END? Seems like every movie has to set up a "universe"!

Not sure where to begin here. I believe the problem is with the sound quality of this movie and editing. It just makes no sense. Some actors seem to have American accents others, Lord knows what. There is no continuity. The storyline is all over the place and for some insane reason, they keep cutting to this weird lame band. I'm glad I watched it because now I know what a good movie is, anything other than this; except The Room.

I love any horror films, low budget, indie whatever. But this is really awful. You can tell from the first 5 minutes that it's goung to be bad. Acting, special effects ...all just like some 5 year old has done it. Avoid at all costs

An above average slasher movie that fans of the genre should enjoy as it makes a lot of references to the classics and has a few well directed killing sequences. But I don't recommend it to non slasher fans, I don't think they would find much to appreciate as the plot mostly consists of unlikeable characters getting picked off one by one. Jack looks awesome and is a very cool killer which is what fans of these sort of films want.

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.
