Pitchfork

source: Pitchfork

OK this movie is what it is, kinda. It's a slasher with some surprises. It's not perfect, but I don't need perfect to have fun! Its about a group of teens coming to a farm to support their one friend coming out as gay to his father until a a crazy killer with with pitchfork hand starts raining on everyones parade. The first 20 mins. is about the relationship with the family and friends fun dance numbers (FOOTLOOSE) and how his dad is dealing with his son being gay. But really after that 20 mins all those plot points are thrown out the window and that is the last thing that matters to the viewer, and the characters when the villain comes. It becomes a different movie gradually. I almost think this movie could be three different movies all together. It starts out like Footloose then too Friday the 13th, then finally Devils Rejects. Who does movies like that!? Indie films, thats why I love um and that's why i love this movie.

When you look at the trailer for this movie, and see the notation on this page, we are to believe this is a good horror movie. I mean it won seven awards, right? Don't be fooled. Poor writing. Terrible acting. Buried somewhere in this pile of garbage is an interesting idea, or at least the idea to start a new form of killer. But it is so poorly written, acted, and executed - there is virtually nothing redeeming about it. We decided to give it a chance, and boy what a waste of time and money. Terrible. Absolutely cringe worthy. Avoid at all costs.

Right from the get go I hated every character in this movie. The acting was atrocious except from the two actors portraying the parents in the final act. There was no real emotion coming from any character. That whole barn dance scene, cuz you know, every New Yorker knows how to do a perfectly choreographed line dance. Once we get into the killing there was nothing new here. Just your typical death by numbers tropes. Not to mention that we don't even really get to see any of the kills. If your looking for gore, look elsewhere, except for a couple scenes near the end. And even then it's nothing that makes you go "whoa that was brutal". As for the killer himself I have no clue as to why they made him act like some sort of animal. All in all avoid this or you'll want to put a pitchfork in your eyes.

Diet Freddy Krueger, on a tight to zero budget, gets horny and goes all Country-twang on a bunch of terrible, loathsome actors, in a horrible film with its forced plot, transition delays, faux pas reviews and lazy to extremely lethargic direction; executed poorly with a single Sony a7 camera. I guess the cast volunteered, hence we have the "Mother" hamming it all the way, towards the end. Stay far away. Don't get me wrong, but the acting was so bad, it seemed the cast was administered enemata before the takes and asked to hold it before they said something stupid like: "Wait a minute, what do you mean by blood?". And the film felt like director Glenn Douglas Packard shot the whole thing cleaning up after the bunch of morons couldn't 'hold it' any longer.

I had high hopes for this movie. The very opening scene cinematography was quite good but unfortunately that was it. There are many things wrong with this film; some really bad acting, poorly edited scenes, lack of pace, devoid of menace and atmosphere to this wannabe slasher movie. It also was illogical and had many plot holes. The constant back lit fog effect was clichéd and so poorly executed as if the production wanted to get their money's worth from the fog machine even when the conditions made it look ludicrous. I think the director watched Nightmare On Elm Street as he plagiarized quite a few scenes but alas, Freddy Krueger was infinitely more menacing than this clown in a furry mask. This whole movie was a tired, badly acted and amateurish affair. It wasn't the worst movie I've seen but it's certainly not one I'd recommend.

Horrible movie. The ideas were taken from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and the plot was almost a carbon copy of it, that was very obvious. Some of the dialog used by the actors, especially the young ones was really out of place for a so called horror movie and I found myself rolling my eyes at it. Acting was horrible, no jump scares, no gore. Apart from being a horrible movie with a some what copied plot and horrible acting, the movie had no horror in it at all. I sat through the movie just to see if it could get any worse as it progressed, and believe me, it did not disappoint. This movie really puts the "LOW" in Low Budget. Complete lack of originality in every way. I give it 2 thumbs down just because of lack of more thumbs. 0 star rating here.

Saw this on a dvd. The trailer was good n i was in the mood to check out some slasher film. What a rubbish n awful film this turned out to b. There were sufficient reviews on imdb warning not to see this trash but sometimes u jus dont wanna listen to good advise. The films opening scene was beautifully shot, the farms, the lush greens n those isolated houses. That was one of its good thing from its total two. We get to see a very young girl, a calvin klein model with her dog in the middle of nowhere rural side doing only the director knows what. Later v get to c a group of youngsters who all r visiting the farmhouse of their friend. Lots of hot babes but zero nudity. A sex scene without any nudity, another sex scene without anybody, jus a wagon moving. A small girl knows how to fire a gun, she knows how to tame horses n she can even do psychotherapy with the killer but she is scared of the bogeyman from the closets n under the bed. A benchmark for any good slasher is some good slashings, brutality, nudity, scream queen n a decent killer. All these r missing in this trash film. Forget about the character development, the killings r offscreen n boring, there is absolutely zero suspense n tension. The killer looked like a cartoon. Killing somebody by mistake cos of sudden pop up during hiding or chase scene is been done umpteenth number of times. The ending was kinda meh n one can easily guess. The phrase, out of the frying pan into the fire has been done so many times. The old creepy guys acting n his hand scene were good. This is the second good thing in the film. No explanation of any kind regarding the pitchfork. Mayb i didn't follow cos i forwarded some scenes to finish it.

It saddens me when a independent film is attacked by internet trolls. This highlights a growing problem in Hollywood. When big studio films feel threaten by the competition and they but dollars in to stop it from happening to the little guys. It got over 200 ones before it was released and from different countries then the USA, it has only been released in America. This film is nothing but a gem in the horror genre. It's a reminder of great horror slashers but has its unique characters and twist for it to stand out on its own. I'm excited to see where the character of Pitchfork goes next. The actors in the film you can see are extremely talented! Each of them had a dance scene in the film, like a moment from footloose, and they all killed it. Showing their range of talent, looking forward to seeing where some of their careers go. I see already Ryan Moore who plays the asshole jock is in the new Jeepers Creepers 3 movie. This is for sure a horror film to check out. The slasher fans will get what we have been asking for, a new slasher character of a generation to haunt us with the likes of Freddy, Michael, & Jason.

I really liked this slasher horror. It's been awhile since I have cared about a slasher character in awhile. There is some interesting back story to these characters that I hope come out in series of films. Bring on more Pitchfork. And I read that it was done with only 1 camera in 21 days. The ending was one of the craziest endings in a horror film I have seen in awhile. It's cool to have a hot killer for once for us horror chicks! The music and lighting was great both extremely eerie. I'm guessing the director was a horror fan because they gave us a lot of fun homage to some of the best horror genre films out there. This has potential of being a great horror franchise.
