warn . there might be spoiler ahead and if you care . okay and the basic premise of this homegrown texas film be represent college kid plus spookhouse plus evil magic book equal scary stuff . in practice and it equal a lot of time look at the time to see how much longer this movie be go to drag on . a bunch of frat boy and along with assorted girlfriend and volunteer and be set up a charity haunt house . the project be be preside over by a thoroughly repellent character and whose main purpose seem to be verbally and physically assault a many cast member a possible . i have a hard time believe that anyone would even attempt to work with this person in any capacity represent he nothing but rude and abusive to everyone and include his girlfriend and his buddy . regardless and the kid be visit by local character and annual pumpkin carve champion pumpkin jack and an elderly coot who be describe a the santa claus of halloween and and who drop off a load of prop for the house and include an ominous book that figure prominently in the irritatingly strobe flash prologue ( where a gaggle of robed cultist get turn into stir fry ) . needless to say and some damn fool start mess with the book and and eventually most of the costumed monster turn into real one and and the remain few normal folk have to try and survive . there some good stuff in this film and but not much represent everything be shoot well and and the makeup effect be decent . on the other hand and the performer either underact and or overact drastically while much of the plot make little sense outside of a this happen so that can happen series while there be hardly any musical score to speak of and just snatch of song throughout the film while and the movie take an hour to actually get anywhere . that last problem be the most telling represent two third of the 90 minute run time be use to repeatedly set up the character . tom be a nice guy date heidi the control freak and but he use to date jill and who be now date dan the jerk and but she start a relationship kira the girl who wear too many shawl or cape . dan be a really big jerk and gary like to play joke and and steve and lily like to have a lot of sex . stuff that could have easily be deal with in 20 minute or so drags on and on and to the point where the lesbian sex scene ( calm down and it pretty tame ) leave me look for the fast forward button . that leave u with half an hour of lo calorie scare and a klunky end and a deep seat dislike of ol pumpkin jack and who i blame for the whole mess . unless you can get this on some sort of deep discount rental ( and really have see everything else in the store ) and put it back on the shelf and keep look .
