A grisly Halloween feast with a teen-centric story, the ballad of Sawtooth Jack will give you a crooked smile. Our Dark Harvest review:
went from theatrical rollout plans to a limited Alamo Drafthouse release. There’s a spooky, festive aroma about David Slade’s adaptation of Norman Partridge’s hayseed horror tale of the same name and some spectacular special effects. Seasonal comforts unfold with a nasty attitude under Slade’s direction, which smacks audiences in the face with graphic mayhem despite most of the characters being underage.
Every Halloween, in a cursed Middle America suburb, the population’s crop of young boys partake in a dangerous ritual. For three days, sons like Richie Shepard are starved behind deadbolted bedroom doors, then unleashed for a “chase.” What are they after? A pumpkin-headed ghoul appears from the cornfields and must be stopped before it reaches the local church.
What does not lack is the buckets of gore and exceptional creature design. Sawtooth Jack gives the vibe of seeing Pumpkinhead for the first time, and Slade doesn’t hide his emaciated, jack-o’-lantern-faced scarecrow. It scowls under full lighting, without camera tricks that would hide lesser craftsmanship. Nor does Slade shy away from literal geysers of blood that erupt like national park fixtures, or bodily mutilations that’re worthy of gasps.
