A family looking to start life anew following a deadly tragedy finds that the past isn't as dead as they thought in director Robert Mann's Halloween-themed slasher film. It was supposed to be an innoc... read more read more...ent prank, but when Jonathan saw his beautiful sister being attacked by a pumpkin-masked assailant, he stabbed the mysterious figure to death without realizing that the man behind the mask was in fact her mischievous boyfriend Alex. Now the family has moved to a new town in hopes of leaving the past behind, but when an uninvited guest with a very familiar costume arrives at a Halloween party being held on a deserted farm, the rising body count proves that no matter how far you run, the past will always catch up. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    One of those really low budget, cheesy slasher films that are so bad they almost become quite good in a funny way. Looked liked it was made in the 80's not 2006, maybe that was on purpose? Silly story, bad effects, hammy acting make this good for a laugh rather than a scare. For ... read morelow budget slasher fans only!

    This movie is terrible. It's so terrible. The acting...is just flat out ridiculous. So are the effects\make-up. Even the story isn't so great. But you know what, I still liked it. It's kind of one of those "It's-So-Bad-It's-Great" kind of things. The killings were pretty awesome,... read more too. Although the front cover has nothing to do with the movie...That guy isn't in the movie...

    Following a tragic Halloween accident, Lynn, (Amy Weber) and Jonathan Starks, (Michael Zara) move to a new town to forget their past. Jump forward One Year Later where Lynn invites her brother to an all-night Halloween party at a pumpkin patch with some local kids to take his min... read mored off things. However Jonathan believes that someone is following him around in town. When the partygoers are killed off one by one in a viciously brutal way the others start to believe that his stories are true, but blames the murders on a town legend involving a spirit known as The Pumpkin Karver.

    A modern slasher film with good looking girls in skimpy outfits screaming, a little suspense, blood and gore!

    Another top contender in my search to find the worst film ever made. I'm really at a loss. I was really just praying that every single one of these tools would get butchered so the movie would be over and I could change the channel.

    Some of the worst acting I have ever seen. N... read moreo joke. The plot and writing are worse. What takes it from awful to horrific is that its not even entertaining. Crappy horror movies often sacrifice realism and plot for mind-numbing gore and action, which will at least keep you entertained. This movie is boring as hell until the last 15 minutes.

    The only couple decent things I can say is 1) Minka Kelly is hot as hell. She can't act, but I don't mind looking at her. 2) One scene towards the end that involves a decapitated man peeing in his own face 3) Its gratifying to suffer through the movie, and finally see all the annoying characters get slaughtered. Stay away. I can not stress this enough.

    I had this on my neflix list but hey I get to ?save? a rental! I saw it on syfy. Well at least the mask was scarrier than i?ve seen in a long time. It was a pumpkin face but the style it was in. Well the beginning picks off of Scream w/ being in the Garage (not to mention same l... read moreine too. UGH! Pretty much sounded same pitch as Rose McGowan said it!!..unless its an actual spoof movie this annoys the HELL out of me! I was surprised to see Minka Kelly from Friday Night Lights in it. But for it being part of the 31 days of Halloween.. it fit at least! C

    Not bad. Horror movies are really good and everything, but this one was low budget, you can tell. The story was kind of retarded and the ending was dumb but it was actually interesting to watch.

    This is pretty stupid its kinda creepy but the poster is the scariest part, the endin was really predictable...

    The acting will leave you breathless... with how much it totally sucks, along with the plotline. I guess I should have looked it up on here before I saw it, and saw the THREE people that watched it as well and their 2 star rating.
