How do people get funding for these god awful productions. Please everyone watch it and then go to church and pray you get those 118 mins of your life back.
Even Sharknado is less trash. Srsly I thought it could be a good movie or at least mediocre but it's probably the trashiest "Horror"-Movie I've ever seen.
Andrew Jones follows up the turd that was Legend of Halloween Jack with another turd, only this one is very slightly more polished! Despite making movies in South Wales he is obsessed with including American characters but sadly he has yet to find one that can do an authentic sounding accent. This only drags his bad films down even further. One of these "American" characters is Duke, obviously "inspired" by Kurt Russell's "Snake" from Escape from New York. Jack looks laughable and his kills are largely bloodless and lame, for example one victim has a mobile phone shoved into her mouth. And what's with a guy handing out dollar notes to his daughter despite being obviously filmed in the UK!? One of the better scenes has some mildly amusing banter between a gay and a straight man. Final Girl Danielle (Tiffany Ceri) looks stunning but shows a complete lack of emotion, she also looks older than the 19 year old that she is playing. Marginally better than the first movie but I only scored that trash 1/10. Rubbish.
This 2019 movie "The Curse of Halloween Jack" was just a tad better than the 2018 movie "The Legend of Halloween Jack", but not much mind you.
"The Legend of Halloween Jack" is by no means an interesting horror movie, nor is it one that offers anything of any interest or innovation to the horror genre. The movie quickly settles into a monotonous pace and doesn't really get out of that pace, which makes for a less than generic and mediocre movie experience.
The movie should get some points for trying, and also for actually turning out to be better than the 2018 movie. But truth be told, you don't need to be familiar with the 2018 movie in order to watch the 2019 movie. There is nothing lost by not having seen it, as this movie doesn't require anything from the audience in terms of thinking and paying attention.
The acting in the movie was adequate, taking into consideration the limitations of the script and storyline.
As for the villain, Halloween Jack, well... Let's just say that this was nothing majorly interesting, and the character was pretty laughable actually. A scarecrow come to life with glowing lightbulbs inside his sack-head. Sure, why not... This will not turn out to be a memorable slasher character, not even in the slightest.
All in all, "The Legend of Halloween Jack" wasn't particularly outstanding, and I am rating it a mere three out of ten stars, because it was quite boring actually.

- TriviaThe main setting in this film, Dunwich, is a fictional town named after the H. P. Lovecraft short story "The Dunwich Horror" (1929) and the subsequent film adaptations. Dunwich was also used as the setting for other horror films including Lucio Fulci's 'City of the Living Dead' (1980). In that film the people of Dunwich are said to be descended from "Salem witch burners".
- GoofsAt the start of the film the detective uses normal paper on the overhead projector instead of clear acetate. This wouldn't project on to the screen.
