The Legend of Bloody Jack (2007)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

A Major Disappointment

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

In the Northern region of Alaska, two clowns resurrect Jack,a deceased serial killer, via his heart and incantation. He kills the guy. One would hope that the film was over as it faded to black, but sadly this. Is just a prologue story told by another group of nitwits who're vacationing in the woods. And so the true horror begins. By horror, I mean a soul- crushingly terribly inept movie that will make your brain liquefy and melt out of your ears. There's almost nothing going for this inane, clichéd, red-headed stepchild of a film. And somehow despite all the main female leads going topless, It still ranks amongst the worst films that I've seen streaming on Netflix and that's saying a lot.

Inept. Inept. Inept. Inept.Geez - this is what you get when you decide to take a chance on a direct to DVD slasher! The cover looks cool - the comparison to "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" obviously comes from someone associated with the film 'cuz no one in their right mind would compare those two - and the story doesn't sound too bad (for a slasher). But do not be fooled (like ME!) - this is total and utter CRAP.It's hard to take a few things out and point to their ineptitude but here's a quick rundown; Acting is bad - effects are bad - dialogue is beyond belief and overall script is pure toilet paper - things like atmosphere and suspense are not present.Personal faves; The movie is supposed to take place in Alaska where for some reason the sun never sets. Well OK, so we'll have a daylight slasher - at least that's new. Wrong! Interior scenes always show total darkness when looking at the windows yet when the folks go outside it's always bright. But the biggest laugh comes when a state official uses a torch to see where he's going in complete daylight. Also an encounter with a woman driver near the end has to be seen to be believed.Maybe the film is best enjoyed when you know what you're getting into. Don't expect anything remotely good and you might have a few laughs Ed Wood "Plan 9" style. I've seen some bad slashers but I can't think of one that tops this turd. Perhaps the biggest laugh comes when watching the supplements on the DVD when the crew responsible for the flick praise it like it's a modern masterpiece of slasher cinema. How clueless can they get?

Starring an unknown cast which seem likely to remain that way, this "film" is yet another cheap slasher flick which amazes me how this was released. I have no problem with horrors and slasher flicks in particular, in fact they are my favourites. But when they are done THIS BAD, it really does take the monkey and its no wonder the genre has such a hard time. The story is as clichéd and without imagination as possible with a bunch of people in a cabin out in the woods being slashed and hacked up by this zombie/ghost guy. Its not the story that sucks the most, its the atrocious acting and dialouge, home made directing quality and an awful soundtrack. Not to mention laughable effects and some incredibly lazy film making - these morons are outside in clear daylight yet we are meant to believe it's night?? What the hell was the director thinking with this move? What, he had only one day to film all this in? He was scared of the dark? ( Is hilarious seeing a cop walking around in pure daylight with a torch acting as if its pitch black, though)I guess the positive side for the actors is they look like people who work in the local supermarket so at least they could possibly escape from this film without ever being noticed. Im sure one of the "teens" plays bingo down the local pub - but she's 40-45.Anyway, good for a laugh but just another waste of film and time.

Considering this movie has all new talent, a new writer and a new director, it's not bad. I think it's a good "dark stormy night at the cabin after a few drinks" kind of movie. It's got everything needed to make a horror movie, it has a few scenes that will make you jump, and a few scenes that may make you laugh (may not have been their intention), and some nudity, all mixed in with a good theme. I know I'll be thinking twice about taking a leak out in the deep woods. It's a fun to watch horror flick! We dressed as lumberjacks and had a great time with it... It maybe the next cult classic, be the first one to get all the lines down, with all your own comebacks... Enjoyed it for what it is!
