Continuity: When the jeep pulls off the road after almost hitting the guy with the pumpkins, the passenger side mirror is up in one scene, then down then next, and back and forth several times. Furthermore, when they arrive at the pumpkin patch in the next scene, they're driving in a completely different make and model jeep. Then again in the last scene, they are in still another, a *third* jeep, this time with an enclosed back section.

Black juice runs through your soul.

This film was very hard to rate. For a low budget horror flick, it wasn't bad, but it could have been so much better.

First, it spent entirely too much time with the actors just acing stupid. Lots of hot girls running around, but the guys were just plain dumb. It wasted a lot of time that could have been spent on horror. After all, it is a Halloween slasher film.

The old man was one of the best parts of the film. Now, he was really creepy. Lance (David Austin) and his buds were just like Draco Malfoy and his crew. You just wanted them to get their due.

The pissing on the head bit was certainly original - and funny.

Less silliness and more slashing.
