CommentsXp Best movie ever!

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Michael_Elliott Curse of the Headless Horseman (1972) BOMB (out of 4)Mark Callahan (Marland Proctor) inherits his uncle's old ranch so he takes his acting troop as well as various other hippies out there. It doesn't take long for them to realize that the legendary Headless Horseman is stalking the grounds.I kinda lied with my plot description because it did take a very long time to see the Headless Horseman because he didn't show up until the fifty-minute mark of an eighty-minute movie. CURSE OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN is the perfect example of why filmmakers shouldn't be dropping acid or other drugs whenever they're making movies. It might be unfair for me to accuse the filmmakers of taking drugs but that's the only logical way to explain this awful film.This film is pretty awful on all levels but it's just downright shocking at how stupid the entire film was. It almost seemed as if the director wanted to show off these various acts that range from acting shows to musical performances including one lady covering a Bob Dylan song. All of these scenes are just downright annoying and worst of all is the fact that the film drags so poorly. There's really not a single good moment to be found in this film so one can only hope that they manage to find something to laugh at.As I said, it takes forever for the Headless Horseman to finally appear and when he does it's very quick. I'm really not sure if they named the film this just to try and get people into the drive- in but as a horror movie it's pretty awful.

artpf A phantom horseman who appears every night with a human head tucked under his arm lets it be known that he is searching for eight gunfighters.Not sure I really get the bad reviews who all say it's a lot of fun, etc. This movie is written like an Ed Wood film and directed like a porno. In fact the director did some porn and the flick is filled with actors who did porn or soft core largely in the 70s. Others are one shot wonders who never worked again and some are whose character names are their actual names.I disagree with the reviewers who say this is a hoot and then give it one star. I think it deserves one star. It's actually a horrible movie filled with bad kumbaya folk music and even worse acting.They should have made this as a porno. The title character is dismal and you can see his head under the robe. He doesn't really show up until the movie is nearly done and that's after you're forced to listen to all that horrible hippie folk music.

leonardfranks Nonetheless, I find this to be absolutely hilarious. It's got all kinds of great things. The narrator is one of the most incomprehensible that I have ever seen. Half of what he says is more or less incomprehensible, and the other half is usually irrelevant to what's going on. I'm really not sure how we're supposed to be menaced by the bad guy. All he does is go up to people and shake his head at them spattering a little blood on them. Why would anyone bother doing that? To be honest, I think that even Scooby and Shaggy might have the courage to look at this guy for a while. Most of the dialogue is idiotic too, and clearly not written by any of the "right on hepcats" who really "know where it is at". There are definitely a lot of sequences that you will be wishing for an end to. The strange improv comedy routine (I think) from Unfunny and Unfunnier would definitely be an example. The acid trip is a little bizarre too. Also, it's hard to know where to go with a scene that has a rape scene going on with cool folk music in the background. I think we're supposed to be okay with it, but I'm really not. Anyway, this is a pretty hilarious movie. I recommend, if you can deal with the seventy six minutes of pain that it will cause you. Washington Irving need have no fear, though.

rufasff This film is somewhat intestering example of grade Z filmmaker, from a guy who was responsible for something called "Carnival of Blood" before moving on to hard core porno. Some footloose hippie types move out to a western ranch to help a friend, but the headless horsemen starts knocking them off, then there is a surprise ending. There seems to be no script, but the actors do a surprisingly good job just sort of cobbing the scenes together. It's kind of fun if you are in the right mood, the place kind of looks like the Spann ranch, and they sure don't make them like this anymore. The "Something Weird" video comes with trailers and other stuff
