Hazard Jack Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Michael Ledo A group of students lead by Earl (Kevin James Sporman) opt to play paint ball in an abandoned hospital, because the woods is old hat. They go there and party first. Unbeknownst to them, there is a PSTD power tool killer (Quincy Taylor) located with the premise. He loathes visitors.This is your typical slasher film. The dialogue was better than many low budget films, but needed to be kicked up a notch. The students behave in a very juvenile manner and it isn't hard to figure out who lives and who dies before the killing starts. The special effects consisted of power tools being used and blood splattering, i.e. when a guy gets drilled in the head, you don't physically see it. The severed heads are lined up almost comically on top of cardboard boxes, looking like a row of amateur St. John the Baptist Halloween costumes.3 stars for the nudity.F-bombs, sex, nudity (Aimee Bello, Deanna Meske, Collette Walker, Ashley Walsh...thank you.)
Diane Ruth Director David Worth has succeeded beautifully in bringing to the screen the most effective and sensitively observed studies of a Iraq veteran's struggle with PTSD and his inability to adjust to civilian life after all he has endured. Fired from a job for violent outbursts after returning from war, the protagonist finally moves into an abandoned VA hospital and becomes an isolated, broken individual who ends up acting out bloody fantasies that are out of his control. This a stunning film that works on several levels, especially as a significant cautionary tale regarding how veterans must receive much needed mental treatments after combat. As the film so eloquently depicts, such care is crucial for the sake of the soldier as well as society. Another aspect that is extremely well done is the horror story that serves as the framework for the drama. The terror is at time unendurable and the thrills are incredible intense. The unrelenting sense of dread and fear inside the hospital is amplified by the haunting imagery that director Worth uses to communicate a sense of hopelessness. A superb film that highlights one of the most important issues of our time.
GL84 Deciding to engage in a game of paint-ball, a group of friends wrongly choose the location held by a PTSD-plagued war vet who sees them as a chance to continue his reign of terror and forcing them to stop him in order to get out alive.Overall, this was quite a surprising and enjoyable slasher effort that really gets a lot right. One of it's better elements throughout this is the prime location set-up here to take advantage of the intended target here of the paint-ball game in the abandoned hospital where he's secretly living. The winding corridors, endless darkened rooms split off from the main entrances, plenty of power-tools left lying around to make for handy weaponry and the type of dirty, grimy atmosphere gained from years of neglect and disuse that supplies this perfectly well with a great location and really makes the most of it. That also occurs with the rather frantic and enjoyable stalking scenes that are quite enjoyable if just a tad clichéd of the use of running victims being unable to escape from the shambling killer but there's more in quantity that certainly make for an overall more enjoyable offering. Along with the locations and stalking here, the plentiful gore and bountiful nudity also supply this with a lot to like and really seem to help overlook the fact that the running time is so short yet never once overstays it's welcome or descends into boredom by constantly providing all of those features together at given intervals to continually creep further along and generally come across as quite positive. That said, there's still a few minor areas here that do hold this one down, mostly the two aforementioned tactics in its short running time and the clichéd stalking scenes but also from the fact that it manages to once again feature such a wide-ranging group of people that they're hardly the sort of friends that would hang out with each other in real-life and it becomes upsetting to think they would be. It really casts a strong cloud over the film, as well as the fact of this one really doesn't do much interesting with its' killer beyond the silent, hulking brute. The ties to the disorder is fine and actually well-handled, but it tends to go off on several needless tangents throughout here which are just plain confusing and don't really offer much to the film beyond their confusing nature. These do hold it back somewhat, though what's on display is often enough to hold it off and become quite enjoyable.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, several sexual situations and drug use.
Adam Kessler A group of annoying young people host a party inside of an abandoned hospital. Before long, their night of fun turns into a night of carnage as a massive, steroid-pumped and shellshocked Iraq war veteran mauls them all to death with various pieces of construction equipment. There are a few beheadings, a jock gets nailed alive to a wall, the token black dude is eviscerated with a drill bit, and a ridiculous latino gay caricature is burned alive in a church (how's that for offensive?)Hazard Jack is a mostly formulaic slasher -- seen one, seen 'em all -- but it earns some points for seeming at least a little self-aware of its function as pornography. Its characters are so over-the-top stereotypical and the titular maniac so obscenely huge and bestial as to indicate as much.But in the end, for a film like this, there really wasn't enough gore. Everything in the introduction -- from the deteriorating hospital setting to the brute killer's hefty arsenal of killing tools -- make you expect volumes of blood and guts, and yet the gore level is at best average. The slasher is one of the most overdone genres of film ever, and you can't sell one these days without extreme gore and suspense. Otherwise, it really feels like plagiarism.As a devoted slasher fan, I hope Jack returns for a sequel. But when he does, I hope he's willing to paint the town red.
