Halloween Jack 3D

HALLOWEEN JACK 3D (2022) is bringing old-school 3D shocks back and with a sweet, sweet, sweet dash of British humour.

There's plenty on offer here for horror fans with nods to the classics, including the opening credits and score of 'Friday the 13th Part III' being homaged. The running time is swift at 64mins and it's easy to be taken away with the events on screen.

I watched the feature in anaglyph 3D, where there was solid depth and some ghosting from time-to-time (mainly when the credits appear) but this small issue can be overlooked because overall the effect works.

There is a love for the genre on show here and now all I have to say is - bring on the 8+ sequels.

I originally put this movie on as background while doing homework but I was often distracted by the sheer lack of quality. The acting was atrocious except for the gentleman plunging the toilet and the groundskeeper. I understand this was pretty much made to be campy and purposely awful but it missed the mark on humor and any jump scare factors. The execution on everything was below amateur. I can't imagine anyone who wasn't involved in this misguided ode to horror enjoying it.

It went past so-bad-it's-funny to so-bad-it's-just-bad.

Glad they had fun and all but it just missed every mark. Whatever they tried to achieve with the audience, I'm sure they didn't accomplish it.
