Looking for laughs??
A while back, my friend and I went to get a horror film of ghetto proportions, and found this gem in our local video store. We could not have been more delighted! This movie is the absolute best to make fun of, and just have a good clean laugh at! The acting is quite possibly worse than an elementary Christmas show (personal favorites from the film: The pure "terror" in the little boy's voice when he is being buried alive and the Oscar worthy acting skills of the wife of the man in old times who goes off to kill Jack-O). The producers of this movie blew their budget on the opening lightening sequence, making the other effects laughably fake. If you're looking for a scary, quality horror movie, keep moving on. But if you want to have some good fun laughing at and making fun of a movie so bad that the participants must hang their heads in shame to know it resides on their resumes? You have found it.

Rent this sometime
Jack-O is one of those rare films that are so unbelievably devoid of ability, it's hard to imagine any human could have constructed them. However, producers Fred Olen Ray and Roger Corman are known for taking garbage to whole new dimensions.

The plot approaches total nonsense (what jumps to mind: shower scenes that appear from nowhere, along with footage seemingly cobbled in from a separate film), the characters are as obnoxious as is humanly possible, and the acting is the worst -- there is one fantastic scene at the end, where as the child is being buried by the monster, mumbles "No..." in a bored voice..

All said and done, Jack-O is quite possibly the ultimate b-movie; it goes far enough off the un-artisic scale to become art again.
It's a work of genius.

Um...Uh...Well there is some good killings!
ok, this movie has both incredibly annoying actors, and cheap effects! there is only two cool things about this movie, the kiilings are cool (but not all that original) and pumpkin jack looks cool! if you want this movie, don't pay alot of money for it, its really not worth more than $10!

Could have been better
Ok, not bad but not all the good. thats all i have to say.
