Title: "Carvin' Is My Life!"...
Review: I knew by the title that PUMPKIN KARVER was going to be a bomb. After watching it, I can say that it's not quite nuclear, but closer to the "Daisy Cutter" in its destructive power. All of the elements are in place-idiotic dialogue, horrific "acting", bone-headed characters, etc.- for a truly miserable experience. Of course, I understand the lack of budget, but this can usually be overcome by having a decent story. Alas, though PK starts out semi-original, it quickly tumbles into stalk 'n' stab oblivion. The idea of an old man "pumpkin carver", who lives for / has pride in this career, is almost as interesting as it is ridiculous. The final insult comes in the form of two toga-clad morons so insufferable, so utterly hate-worthy, as to incite homicidal tendencies in the viewer! Plus, we get a halloween party, complete w/ a rock band that rivals that godawful, catterwalling Club Scum performance in HOBGOBLINS! Dear God in heaven above...
