Top 10 reasons this movie stinks like a rotten pumpkin!
1. Nick Carter's Acting... Need I say more?
2. Those frickin' wind chimes every time something dramatic happens. They're not scary, they're annoying!
3. The Headless Horseman who has a head. What's with the glowing pumpkin? It's for throwing, not for covering up the actor's head because the budget was too small to allow for digital CGI removal!
4. The incredibly fake looking mannequin head that falls into the slutty nurse's lap after they make the wise decision to have sex in an abandoned shack. BTW, anybody else notice the nip-slips in that scene?
5. The pretty cheerleader falls for the geeky unpopular kid, making the dumb neanderthal, "captain of the football team" boyfriend insanely jealous and insecure. Nothin' new with that storyline... it's been done to death!
6. The cheesey and cliche "let's have sex in a dark scary cemetary and get chopped to bits by a sword weilding psycho" plotline that happens not once, but twice in this movie.
7. The fact that they chose a pretty-boy like Kevin Zegers to play the character of a geeky loser who's obsessed with horror films and movie monsters... really? I'm sorry but guys who look like him don't get made fun of in high school. They're too busy getting laid!
8. That dumb-ass Sheriff Duncan... If someone wearing a pumpkin on their head is coming after you with a sword, you run. You don't stand there like an idiot, you get back in your car and floor it!
9. Judge Reinhold as the unsupportive a**hole of a father. His character just makes you want to yell, "Hey! Headless Horseman... Off with his head!" This ultimately leaves people disappointed in the end when he actually lives.
10. The cliffhanger ending that is totally unecessary. They are obviously not going to create a sequel to this hot mess of a movie, so why bring back the villain at the last second of the film? It's like, the cheesiest way to end a horror movie, and it makes no sense at all.
I would not recommend buying this dvd... Definitely rent it though! You have to see it to believe how awful it is. I must say though, it's the perfect flick for a Halloween movie marathon when you're in the mood for something that's not too scary, and that is fun to laugh at!
