Jack ‘O’ Slasher is a horror/comedy film about a demon with a head full of rotten pumpkin seeds. He is sent from hell to help a cult of sexy satanists try to resurrect the devil and bring eternal Hell on Earth. A group of people are enjoying a Halloween amusement park. Little do they know that a murderous demon lurks in the shadows. Can they survive this Halloween horror?! There are many fun characters including a lecherous ticket man, a hunch-backed hotdog man, a satanic Killer clown and many more!
The rock music and low budget effects are on display for this film and if you are a fan of DIY horror films you will probably be rather forgiving of this one on some fronts. I think the setting and look of the film was fine, but I don’t think we have THAT much of a plot here to help hold things together. I get that they are trying to sacrifice people for the devil. They just failed to give us any strong plot line to hold it together. We don’t even have a final girl.
Let this film be a lesson to you as to just why we must have some person to root for get behind. Here we have people go into a pumpkin patch and we don’t really spend more time with any one of them more so than the other. So we just watch people get picked off one after another and just hope we get a cool kill. And we do get a cool kill here and there for the record, but it isn’t enough overall. The film is cool for a laugh or two and has a nice setting, but that is about it.
