Notes

My quick rating - 4.0/10. This flick, aptly named Carved, is a #Huluween entry set on Halloween night in 1993, spinning a bizarre and somewhat entertaining tale of a monstrous killer pumpkin wreaking havoc on the staff of a historic pioneer village. The premise is as wacky as it sounds: a revenge-fueled pumpkin comes to life two years after a deadly nuclear spill, aiming to unleash chaos. The film feels confused about its identity, teetering between a family-friendly Halloween movie and a gore-filled horror. The plot seems aimed at a younger audience with its lighthearted and absurd tone, yet the gory deaths throw off that balance. Some kills are surprisingly brutal, making it feel out of place for a more kid-appropriate flick. While it is far from a cinematic masterpiece, it has its own quirky charm. The absurdity keeps things interesting, and this film may scratch the itch for those who crave Halloween-themed content during #Shocktober. However, its inconsistent tone and lackluster execution keep it from being anything more than a quick, seasonal distraction.
