Granted, as I sat down in 2021 to watch the 2017 movie "Jack vs Lanterns" from writer and director Jason Liquori, then I wasn't really expecting a whole lot given the movie's cover and its synopsis. But still, I opted to watch the movie, as there might be a chance that the movie was so bad that it would actually be fun to watch.

But no, "Jack vs Lanterns" was just bad. In fact, it was so bad that it went in the opposite direction of being funny. So yeah, don't get your hopes up for much of anything here.

The special effects were special alright. And that is not in a good way. No. You have to look far and wide for movies with special effects of this magnitude of lousy and low-key. It was just ridiculously bad to witness on the screen.

The acting in this 2017 movie does match the rest of the movie, for better or worse.

You might want to do yourself a favor and skip on "Jack vs Lantern". Some of us suffered through this so you don't have to.

I am rating "Jack vs Lantern" a generous one out of ten stars, as this movie definitely ranks high on the list of worst movies I have stumbled upon.

This is one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen in my entire laugh. Unfortunately it was not particularly funny or a good kind of stupid, just the kind where when it is done I just wondered why I allowed 90 minutes of my life to be wasted on something that gave me no entertainment at all. It even looks super cheap.

JACK VS LANTERNS is another completely terrible indie comedy from director Jason Liquori. It seems to be a spoof taking a broad swipe at 1950s-era science fiction B-movies, alien invasion flicks, '80s monster movies and the like. Expect very wooden acting, no real scripts, and a great deal of embarrassment. These films must have an audience somewhere, but I really do find them tedious in the extreme.
