 When you see the cheap computer-generated opening, you know this is going to be a cheezy movie, and is it ever! The acting is pretty bad, and the sound is probably worse (it often sounds as though they've dubbed in the voices and failed to synchronize them with the visuals). When you have middle-aged adults acting like kids at Halloween, the movie is automatically going to be very campy, especially when you have a "haunted garage" full of nickel-and-dime Halloween decorations and sound effects. It might be a dangerous to drink anything while the old man is telling the Jack-O story to his kid because you might choke from laughing at him and the lines he has to deliver. It "stars" Linnea Quigley, though she probably gets no more than 10 minutes of screen time. Quigley babysits a boy who is stalked by a pumpkinheaded demon named Jack-O. Jack-O supposedly comes from Hell, but judging by the costume, I'd say Jack-O hails from the darker side of a Pic N' Save or 99 Cents store. To "Jack-O"'s credit, the deaths are pretty graphic, though sometimes laughably so. The death scene involving a right-wing extremist getting electrocuted by the toaster is definitely a riot with the greatly exaggerated sparks, smoke and frizzled hair! Oh yeah, although Quigley is about 36 years old in this movie, her body looks as good as ever, as a gratuitous shower scene clearly demonstrates. Overall, a very cheezy horror flick, but not a bad choice for some T&A Matinee. |
