The short was selected by more than fifty festivals internationally and won more than thirty awards, and was selected for two anthology films in the US: Seven Hells (2014), and All Hallows' Eve 2 (2015).[1] PlotOn Hallowe'en night, in a West Village townhouse, babysitter Elizabeth carves a Jack O'Lantern out of a pumpkin with the help of Jack, the boy she is looking after, his terrier Oscar barking and watching excitedly. She is vexed because her boyfriend Elliott is running late. The job done, she puts the seeds on a tray and cooks them in the oven. After, all three of them eat a few seeds, when Jack begins to choke. Elizabeth tries to perform the Heimlich maneuver but fails and the boy passes out. Not knowing what else to do, she takes a knife and attempts to perform a tracheotomy so he can breathe. Blood spurts when she cuts a hole in his neck, and she notices something that may be the seed and attempts to dig it out with the knife; it turns out to be a long vine. Jack's abdomen swells underneath his shirt and explodes. Horrified, Elizabeth notices her own belly beginning to swell. Using the knife, she cuts across it in the manner of a Caesarean section, and pumpkins and thick vines explode from her body, and her head slumps down. Oscar whines. Outside, Elliott finally arrives and enters the townhouse. He is heard calling for her briefly, and vines are seen creeping quickly within across the windows. Cast
ProductionBackground and inspirationBryan Norton had been Antonio Padovan's directing teacher at the New York Film Academy,[2] where Padovan directed his first two short films, Socks and Cakes and his student thesis, Perry St..[3] Norton was now the Academy's Chairperson.[4] They decided to use Norton's access to equipment and crew to their advantage. Padovan said: "We've always talked about making a movie based in the West Village in fall ... Because it photographs very well".[2] After toying with a few unfeasible ideas, Norton jokingly said: "We could even make a movie just about a pumpkin ... And we came up with this idea."[2] Writing and castingNorton and Padovan were admirers of Helen Rogers' work in V/H/S; the segment "The Sick Thing" led them to reconceive Jack Attack's lead role. Originally, the central characters were imagined as a mother and son, with the former part to be cast with an age-appropriate genre favorite, as Norton explained: FilmingJack Attack was filmed on location in the West Village and on a soundstage at Rollin Studios in Brooklyn.[2]Related worksIn 2014, Norton said he was writing a feature-length film that would incorporate Jack Attack as a subplot, "but basically will be Greenwich Village in New York City on one crazy Halloween night."[4] Release and receptionJack Attack premiered at the Fantasia International Film Festival, where it was paired with The Conjuring on opening night (18 July 2013).[5] It was selected by more than fifty festivals internationally, including Milan, Sitges, Fantafestival, Melbourne, Fantastic Fest, and the New York City Horror Film Festival.[1][6] At the Calgary Underground Film Festival, the short was paired with Drew Bolduc's Science Team (2014).[7] In Los Angeles, the film was shown at Mann's Chinese Theatre.[1]Anthology filmsThe short has since achieved a wider release as part of two anthology films in the US:[1] Seven Hells (Gateway Films, Best of Fest, and Hands Off Productions), made up of seven award-winning horror and dark comedy shorts,[8] was released in theaters "just in time for Halloween", in October 2014.[9] All Hallows’ Eve 2, nominally a sequel to All Hallows' Eve, is also a standalone film from Ruthless Pictures containing nine story segments.[10]. Jack Attack is the first segment.[11]Critical responseRichard Whittaker of the Austin Chronicle called Jack Attack "ghoulishly entertaining",[12] while Jo Satana called it "punchy and strangely whimsical".[5] A Canadian reviewer agreed, noting the "genuinely sweet interactions between Elizabeth and Jack, with both actors giving good, believable performances" which are "almost heartwarming", elements which are daring and "quite effective" in a horror film: There are times when Jack Attack goes into some pretty gruesome and even frightening places, but it's not done in a mean-spirited fashion. In fact, Jack Attack blends a tasty mix of horror and fun, which is really the perfect recipe for capturing the spirit of Halloween. ... Jack Attack features an impressively high level of production value, which is matched by great sound design and gruesomely satisfying special effects.[13] A Screen Anarchy reviewer suggested the film was "the perfect morsel to whet the appetite of a festival audience before a feature presentation", saying the directors "employ a slow burn", the small cast forming a "nuanced trio in order to twist the knife a bit further".[14] Selected accoladesJack Attack is said to have won more than thirty awards or honors,[1] including but not limited to the following:{{div col}}
