Jack-O (1995)

Horror     Rated R

Plot

A long long time ago a wizard was put to death, but he swore vengeance on the townsfolk that did him in, particularly Arthur Kelly's family. Arthur had done the final graces on him when he came back to life as Mr. Jack the Pumpkin Man. The Kellys proliferated through the years, and when some devil-may-care teens accidentally unleash Jack-O, young Sean Kelly must stop him somehow as his suburban world is accosted and the attrition rate climbs.

Acting

Stars the legendary Linnea Quigley and Rebecca Wicks in the main roles, and features brief parts by b-movie icons Cameron Mitchell (in his final role), and Brinke Stevens, as well as a post death appearance from John Carradine, done through archival footage.

Gore

A very blood slit throat, as well as stabbings and a beheading.

Sex/Nudity

Ms. Quigley is bares breasts and butt (she probably accidentally does this scene when she actuals showers, since shes done it so much) during a shower, and her on screen sister is later seen topless, preparing for a sex scene, but is interrupted before it happens.

Final Thoughts

Another bad low-budget movie trying to capitalize of the name value of stars who play small roles. Nothing new or really interesting here. Same old Halloween story you've seen over and over, that has someone built up a bit of a cult following. The only real reason to see it is if your crazy for Linnea Quigley as Stevens, Carradine and Mitchell all make appearance the are barely more than cameos.
