Carved

In the offbeat horror-comedy Carved, set against the backdrop of Halloween 1993, the quaint charm of a historic pioneer village is turned upside down by an unexpected and monstrous threat. When the staff, a quirky mix of history enthusiasts and aspiring actors, find themselves trapped during a Halloween event, their night takes a terrifying twist as a vengeful killer pumpkin emerges from the shadows. With its menacing grin and a hunger for chaos, the pumpkin embodies the spirit of Halloween gone awry, forcing the staff to band together in a hilariously frantic fight for survival.

As the characters navigate their own personal fears and insecurities, the film cleverly intertwines themes of friendship, bravery, and the absurdities of holiday traditions. Each staff member, from the overzealous village historian to the skeptical teenage intern, brings their unique perspective and comic relief to the chaos, creating a dynamic that keeps audiences both laughing and on the edge of their seats. Carved balances its horror elements with a tongue-in-cheek humor that invites viewers to embrace the ridiculousness of the situation. With its blend of nostalgic charm and outrageous antics, this 2024 release promises a delightfully spooky experience for anyone looking to add a twist to their Halloween movie marathon.
