Decent concept, horrible execution

[eirwen-42548 · 2/10 · 4 December 2020]

I've seen a lot of low budget horror movies, but this one takes the cake... It looks like a volunteer student film project, and the credits show that the Director is also the writer, photographer, cinematographer/videographer, stunt coordinator, special effects make up artist, lighting coordinator, sound manager, location supervisor, key grip, gaffer, food caterer, casting, editor, and producer... well that says it all. Every credit outside the cast and a second editor was the director.

The idea was interesting, but unfortunately every aspect of this movie failed.

A poorly written script. Bad acting. An Obnoxiously loud soundtrack. No special effect. Terribly executed deaths.

The only thing that kept this from 1 star was that it moved fast enough that I didn't get bored and fast forward.

Stars are given based on my personal enjoyment of the film and plot.

2 - Terrible in both plot and production. I was either left wanting my time back or wondering what just happened.

Sunny photography and not much else

It's hard to believe that some 17 years after the success of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT (a film I watched at the cinema when I was still a teenager) that people are still making rip-offs and derivatives. JACK LOGAN is such a picture, a simple enough effort about a weekend camping trip to a Floridian island that runs afoul of an ancient zombie necromancer with murder in mind.

As with most micro budget productions, there really isn't much of a horror element here, aside from some weird noises in the night and peripheral characters going missing. The only real incident is right at the climax and even then it's over in just a couple of minutes. The performances are occasionally naturalistic but often wooden, but at least the location is picturesque and there's a lot of sunny photography to take your mind off the humdrum nature of the thing.

No "H" in front of my name.

Time to grab your camera, some fake blood and let's go camping. Campers on St. George Island bring back Jack Logan a vengeful spirit and playful guy who likes to grab girls in the water. The camera angles were bad. We spent time watching two girls look at a menu and get some food to go. We watch them as they try to set up a tent. Countless time was spent watching people fish, walk, and wade. Perhaps the best part of the film was when the actors ad lib and didn't drone rehearsed lines. Real Southern talk like, "fixin' to get some rain" by Victor Freer who could be the next on-line sensation, out performing "Hillbilly Ninja." Yes I thought it was real Southern until I saw the Miracle Whip in their food container. No self respecting Southern uses MW. It is Duke's Mayonnaise. Al Carter should know better.

The film was laughably awful. One killing was a drowning, but we see a black screen listening to someone gargle. It was that cheap and bad. We listen to two girls read a screen about the history of St. George island. It was that boring.
