Where should I start. I bought this movie on VHS last halloween. I am a big fan of cheesy horror films and figured it would be entertaining. This seems like a poor quality student project. First, there is the actual visual quality. Some posts talk about tis being a 16mm film. I seem to doubt that. The quality looks like 3rd or 4th generation VHS. The colors are so faded that it at times seems almost black and white. The movie starts out bad and just doesn't get any better. It starts with a Jogger running through the woods, who stops in the middle of the woods to eat a candy bar. What kind of exercise fanatic stops to eat a candy bar? Anyway, she gets chased and killed with such great lines like "oh please don't kill me." Definately not an academy award winner. Then a credit sequence that has nothing to do with the movie. I don't want to ruin the movie for anyone that wants to waste an hour or so to watch it. It starts out bad a doesn't get any better. The poor casting consists of people that not only can't act but are totally wrong for the role. A 40 year old guy plays a high school student. terrible. some of the other high school students are also way to old to play the role. For some reason the film maker thought it would be cool to give the characters one letter names, J, Z, Mr E(trying to be clever. mystery) The dialogue is trite and meaningless. It doesn't make sense half the time. The lighting is something out of a low budget porn movie. If it is night a person would not be completely illuminated from the front. The acting is horrible and the directing and editing didn't seemed to have helped. The establishing shots shown over and over again are terrible and obviously nothing more than filler to get it to feature length. I would say that watching it is a must for film students. It was very inspirational in the fact that a movie made so poorly could get such a large distribution. I have shown it to someone before one of my films. It is so poorly done, it makes my films look like the were made by Spielberg. But I did buy it and I don't feel bad about it because even though it isn't good by any means it is an example of how indie films can get seen no matter how good or bad they are. The rating on the box was funny, It said 3 and a half stars. ( what it didn't say was that it was out of ten and not four.) Not as good as a Ed Wood Movie.

But when it's halloween night and they live in a town called Sleepy Hollow, something very bad is destined to happen. A killer with a jack-o-lantern mask and a sword, who rides a horse beheads the students one by one. The remaining few must figure out who it is.reveiw: Even though this film is shot with a sucky camera, and a sucky ending, its pretty good. The killer looks cool with his kick arse mask! The first scene is pretty creepy, and the gore is good, although its kinda cheesy, but its low budget! Also, the heroin in this film is not the usual depressed girl who lost someone in the past and expects everyone to care.6/10.
... View MoreYIKES !! This was one awful movie !! How in the world did this movie ever get distributed? The movie was terribly written. The acting was bad. The camera looks like it was out of focus; even when the camera is on a tripod. It sort of looks like a rip off of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and SLEEPY HOLLOW (which was an excellent film). This was a blatant attempt to make a quick buck, if I ever saw one. I say quick because this looks like it was made quickly;the lighting is bad and looks like they didn't use any kind of lights (except the flashlights and firelight) and the story gets boring from the getgo. Its a typical horror movie, even though this one isn't scary: it's got a bimbo, a toughguy, a square guy and a the adult. Not very original and not very entertaining. If you see it on the shelf, keep on walking.......
