Movie starts off with some motion sickness. Eat your heart out Blair Witch. I find one particular scene in Sleepy Hollow gives me an instant headache as well.
So Teri Hatcher returns back home driving a 5.0 with the flat top down so her hair can blow. (Is it a Mustang, or just a junker?) The Hamburger high school band bleats out some rustic tune as the town gathers for some opening of a mall?
Holly Hunter has a heated debate with her father and then hooks up with Dylan, who resembles the quaterback in Varsity Blues.
Stealing the tractor scene right off the end of "Dark Night of the Scarecrow" two drunk youngens plough through a cornfield - or destroy it - and encounter Muck Olla, who's just hanging like the inanimate scarecrow that he is. They break a sacred Mortal Kombat logo seal and release some noxious gases in the process that stir Muck Olla awake.
Lead actress went from looking like Terri Hatcher to Holly Hunter now she resembles Neve Campbell.
We're then introduced to a family of imbreds and they're a little too close for comfort with the camera, if you know what I mean? Step back! Get out of my face already. (I bags the daughter - Stephanie.) So "Jason Lives" cemetery lightning brings Muck Olla back to life and he's also battery operated by moonlight to boot.
Is that Dan Blocker?
Muck Olla pins Will Ferrell to a barn wall and sets a rolling aeration machine onto him. (Nasty back massage.) Now looking like Jennifer Connelly, Legs 11, arrives at a barn to discover her uncle corn threshered to bits and an investigation ensues but I'm guessing all the local hierarchy know of some buried town secret which no doubt will come back and haunt them?
Stephanie looks like Molly Ringwald here as her dad chastises her over a porno magazine arriving in the mail.
Stephanie's father, armed with the porno magazine, is attacked by a pig then Muck Olla. His lips are sealed shut. By whom? Captain Howdy, of course. I took Muck Olla seriously as a villain up until he opened his mouth and started talking and laughing.
What's-his-face looks like Scott Bakula now.
Is that Van Damme?
To defeat Muck Olla you have to do some sort of Castlevania 2, or Freddy 3 manoeuvre, where you collect all the bones and destroy them in a bonfire?
I could have sworn this movie used to have a scene in it at the start where the sun sets and they show all the empty streets to the tune of some of Carpenter's Halloween music? Another movie perhaps? Hmm.
I'm still searching for that perfect Halloween movie. And if Halloween's true origins are based around the harvesting of crops on farms, and primitive party celebrations, then must I divert my attention to movies with an outdoor Idaho feel? What, Kristen Stewart in The Messengers? (She doesn't exactly bring enthusiasm to the screen.) What else? Kevin Costner with his cornfield? How forgetful of me - he built a ball park! Husk? Husk is so-so on the iffy side of caution. Of course all the Children of the Corn movies! (Which I am not a fan of.) Then there's American Harvest, Bitter Harvest, and Country.
But they're not horror movies.
The search continues.
