"The Pumpkin Karver" is a terrible film. It's that simple. It's trying to be a slasher, but offers very little slashing. It's dumb, not scary, and most importantly, not entertaining.
The plot is so thin, it was probably written on a Kleenex, or a napkin. It doesn't make sense, somehow, the guy, who is obviously murdered in the first 10 minutes, is the killer. The plot: on one Halloween, Johnathan and his sister, Lynn or something, are carving pumpkins, when Lynn's boyfriend tries to scare her. Bad scare scene later, and he's dead, the result of John's carving. One year later, they're going to a costume party (not in costume, wtf?) when they meet a creepy old guy with pumpkins. Several lame, and obviously fake party scenes later, and people are coming up dead. More bad party scenes, scenes of the killer failing to kill, bad gore scenes, and the killer turns out to be... The old man, or the guy he killed in the beginning, who knows, who cares? Yup, the plot is bad. Yes, the acting is incredibly lame, and the gore, once again, bad. I could make better gore effects in my basement, in 10 minutes. Oh, and if you're expecting gore, keep looking. There is, maybe, 3 gore scenes in the entire movie. Sure there are more killings, but with barely any gore. So you're going to have to sit through many, many, many bad party scenes.
Just skip this movie, if you're unfortunate enough to have seen it, I'm sorry.
