Trying to go to a party, a group of friends find themselves targeted by a cursed town to hold them hostage for a Headless Horseman to continue their curse and must find a way to leave the town alive.This is a really surprising and enjoyable slasher. One of the better elements at play here is the fact that this one manages to retain its creepy vibe throughout, playing this one as something much more than an average take on the genre. The woods here add a really great touch of suspense as there's a large amount of fog over the area, the disorienting designs of the leaf-less trees adding a really great air of creepiness due to all the chasing and stalking set there, and even plenty of the stalking set in town gets quite fun. That carries into the film's better qualities for those stalking scenes, both out in the forest as well as through the town as this one features some really great ones. The car graveyard chase features some great moments with the chase through the rows of skeletal cars, a big outdoor scene in the woods where he chases the group while on horseback and a rather lengthy chase through town that gets really fun and action-packed at times are those really great scenes, though on the whole there's really none that don't work. Added together with the fast-paced storyline and plenty of bloody decapitations that make up the kills here, this one has a lot right about it. There's really only one clear problem here, and that's the over-complication of the story. Although it plays off the long-standing tradition of having the creepy town meting out a supernatural brand of punishment on normal outsiders, this at times seems like its got way too much that takes up a little extra bit of time to further pad the back-story. Its initial explanation gives it plenty to get through but after awhile it just feels like overkill. Otherwise, this is a lot of fun.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Language.

A little better than average for a Sci-Fi channel movie.Now, stop me if you heard this one before. A group of college friends decides to take a shortcut through the woods on the way to a Halloween party, whereupon their truck breaks down, and the inbred inhabitants of a small town set upon them. (Amazingly, the Skiffy Channel had to film this in Romania, because apparently they couldn't find one of the inbred redneck towns they seem to think dot the countryside of rural America.) The discover that the Headless Horseman of legend must collect seven heads every Halloween, in order to preserve the town of accursed souls.Now, this is pretty much the plot of every bad horror movie you've ever seen. What makes this one better than most? I think the characters were more interesting than they usually are in films like this, which is good. You had Richard Moll playing the proprietor of the general store, which added some comedy to the film.Overuse of CGI for special effects, but the plot held together reasonably well. Or maybe I've seen so many bad ones that an okay one doesn't offend as much as they normally do.

Believe me this movie doesn't deserve wasting your time. It is a bad bad movie. Bad story, Bad actors, bad timing and terrible direction. It is like a normal episode of a horror TV series and never can be in the level of horror movies that we love to watch. Even the series Buffy is more exciting.I can act better than those amateur young actors. They really don't know how to act all of them...when you are watching the movie you think that they are saying the script and not taking the effort to act the script. really bad. And I think the director directed each seen alone without taking the whole picture together. The timing is really annoying and the scenes doesn't make you fell thrilled at all. The sound effects are like taken from many other movies put together. The film is overall the worst horror movie i have ever watched and i don't advice you to watch it.

OK so i heard about it while watching the SCIFI channel and it looked really interesting so on the day after it came out i sat down and watched it. it was really good. decent acting, the horseman was awesome and the part where he rides the motorcycle out was cool. over all i give it a 8 out of 10 because it was just a thriller, not scary but it was awesome i just don't get why people say it sucked, i think it was a good movie. just give the actors a chance jeez. And besides its a scifi movie what do you expect but this turned out to be a good one. story is kinda weird i thought it was gonna follow the actual story but in the end it was alright. when they release it on DVD i'll be sure to pick it up.
