My quick rating - 2,3/10. Grindhouse feature presentation? Just saying that at the beginning and using a filter to show the grainy pops on certain scenes does NOT make it a grindhouse flick. Having excruciatingly bad acting, however, is one of the ingredients and this one surely nailed that. I think the editing may have been performed with a set of scissors as well which could be the only explanation for how poor it was. Also, you would think a slasher flick, with all the tropes, you may want to make sure the kills are about the only scenes that come through visually. NOPE, not in this one. Those scenes are the ones that are butchered beyond belief, not the characters being killed. To make things a bit more confusing about this #turkey is the fact it is a prequel to "Black Pumpkin" which rating-wise is in the same ballpark BUT it seems there is NO mention of the fact that this movie is identical to "Bloody Bobby" which came out in 2016, 2 years before the "Black Pumpkin" Not really sure why they decided to act like there never was the first, and re-released that as a prequel. It isn't like any of them were any good or made a shitload of money. Most likely for the reason, I am writing about it, to get people talking about it. So the story is simple, in 1988 a kid named Bobby is tormented and disappears at a party. 20 years later, he is back for revenge. In this flick, the kids now adults get together including a completely underdeveloped twin named Reggie. His brother Alex apparently has been pretty reclusive since then. What this has to do with this story is not apparent at all. It chugs its way to a pointless ending, and lead in to a sequel, which we already knows happens and NO I am not going to find it to see if it gets any better. This one sucked plenty for the both (or all 3 really) so I'll move on. You should to and find better to watch for #shocktober
